Esein

Why You Need It

• Joint Comfort & Mobility: Esein helps maintain the cushioning in your joints, keeping you moving freely.
• Skin Elasticity: It supports the protein matrix that keeps skin firm and supple.
• Gut Barrier Integrity: Aids in maintaining a healthy 'leaky gut' barrier, ensuring only the right things pass into your bloodstream.

Deep Dive

Esein functions primarily as a structural support agent. In the context of modern supplements (often standardized extracts of Boswellia), Esein targets specific enzymes in the body called 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). These enzymes are responsible for creating inflammation that degrades tissues. By naturally modulating this process, Esein acts as a shield, protecting your cartilage and collagen from breaking down. Unlike harsh painkillers that just mask symptoms, Esein works at the cellular level to support the body's natural repair mechanisms, promoting long-term structural health rather than just temporary relief.

Natural Food Sources

Unlike vitamins that are abundant in produce, Esein is a specialized compound found primarily in the resin of specific trees. It is not found in standard fruits or vegetables.

Supplementation

Because Esein is concentrated in tree resin, we typically get it in two ways:

1. Standardized Extracts: Look for Boswellia supplements standardized to contain a specific percentage of Esein or Boswellic Acids.
2. Dietary Additions: Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods (like leafy greens and berries) helps your body utilize Esein better.

Dosage: Clinical studies often suggest 300–500mg of a standardized extract taken 2–3 times daily. Always follow the specific product label or your doctor's advice.
