The oleo-gum-resin of Boswellia serrata, an Ayurvedic herb for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, contains both volatile (terpenes) and nonvolatile (boswellic acids) molecules as responsible for its bioactivity. The present randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study evaluated the human pharmacokinetics of a 'natural' hybrid-hydrogel formulation of a unique full-spectrum boswellia extract (BFQ-20) (standardized for both volatile and nonvolatile bioactives) in comparison with unformulated extract (U-BE), for the first time. Mass spectrometry coupled with LC (UPLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography (GC-MS/MS) measurements of the plasma concentration of boswellic acids and α-thujene at different post-administration time points followed by a single dose (400 mg) of U-BE and BFQ-20, to healthy volunteers (n = 16), offered 4-fold enhancement in the overall bioavailability of boswellic acids from BFQ-20, [area under the curve (AUC) (BFQ-20) = 9484.
