A resin that has accompanied cultures for thousands of years – now in one capsule a day
Espara Weihrauch forte brings Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) into a capsule as a standardised extract – with a clearly declared boswellic-acid content and a plant-based shell. One capsule covers the daily amount.
Anyone who explores natural products sooner or later comes across frankincense. In antiquity the resin was as valuable as gold, and it appears again and again – from Egyptian temple culture through Ayurveda to Hildegard of Bingen. It is still harvested today by scoring the bark of the Boswellia tree so the milky resin can seep out.
The defining feature of this resin is the boswellic acids – a group of plant-own triterpenic acids. This is exactly where standardisation comes in: Espara processes the raw material into an extract whose boswellic-acid content is not estimated but quantified. So 400 mg of extract yield at least 280 mg of boswellic acids per capsule.
With frankincense this matters more than with many other plant substances. The market likes to work with high percentages that don't always hold up in independent testing. A concrete milligram figure and a manufacturer producing in Austria create a basis for comparison – and that is precisely the idea behind this line.
Take 1 capsule once a day with or shortly after a meal, with liquid.

What are boswellic acids?
Boswellic acids are a group of triterpenic acids that occur naturally in the resin of the frankincense tree. They are regarded as the characteristic constituents of Indian frankincense and are the reason extracts state their content. In this product, each capsule contains at least 280 mg of them.
Why a declared content matters
Frankincense extracts are not standardised by law – raw material and processing vary widely between suppliers. A fixed boswellic-acid content stated in milligrams makes a product traceable and comparable. The colour may vary from batch to batch, which is normal for a pure natural extract.
⚠️ Mandatory information: Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet, and the recommended daily dose should not be exceeded. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. Store out of the reach of small children. The colour may vary depending on the raw material.
📦 Storage: Store dry, at room temperature, protected from light and out of the reach of small children. Protect from heat.
