Scientific Seminar Investigates Impact of Frankincense Extract on Uric Acid Levels

 

With the participation of specialized researchers, the seminar examined the biological activity of (Boswellia carterii) resin in managing hyperuricemia, paving the way for natural therapeutic pathways.

Uric Acid Reduction

Results demonstrated a significant decrease in blood uric acid levels within the targeted laboratory models.

Excretion Pathway

The study observed improved metabolic waste clearance through increased uric acid excretion via urine.

Enzyme Inhibition

Achieved significant inhibition of Xanthine Oxidase, the key enzyme responsible for uric acid biosynthesis.

The session featured a presentation by postgraduate student Pharmacist Khairallah Mohammad, detailing the scientific methodology used to study natural resin extracts. The findings highlight the promising therapeutic potential of frankincense in controlling biochemical processes, reinforcing the role of academic research in developing safe and effective treatments from natural sources.
