A high bioavailability, water-soluble Boswellia-based ingredient

The starting point for Dynagenix  – Boswellia serrata – is a plant that produces Indian frankincense. Dynagenix provides a high concentration of AKBA, standardized to 30%.

Boswellia serrata

Sourced from the forests of India, Boswellia has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.

RESEARCH

Science Designed to Communicate

The science behind Dynagenix examines a range of issues relevant to sports performance – including comfort, strength, recovery, perception of exertion and biomarkers demonstrating physiological changes. In a 2019 clinical trial, 50 recreationally active men (age 25-40) were studied for their response to eccentric exercise-related Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) using 60mg of Dynagenix versus a placebo. The supplementation period was 10 days with eccentric exercise intervention on day 7, after which recovery was measured on d 8, 9 & 10.

The study demonstrated that daily supplementation of Dynagenix for 10 days results in a significant reduction in muscle soreness during squats (muscle recovery) in healthy male participants over placebo. In parallel, Dynagenix supplementation also improved the recovery of strength (1RM leg extension) and knee range of motion when compared to placebo. Dynagenix supplementation also alleviated the participants' knee soreness (joint recovery).

Up to 47% Less Muscle Soreness Than Placebo

Muscle soreness during unweighted squat increased for both groups, but subjects taking Dynagenix reported statistically significantly less soreness than those taking placebo at every recovery point. Similar data from this study show walking downstairs is easier too.

96% of Subjects Recovered Full Strength 

24 out of 25 subjects – 96% taking Dynagenix had full recovery of strength by Recovery Day 3 versus only 10 of 25 using the placebo.

Up to 31% Less Joint Soreness Than Placebo 

Joint soreness during unweighted squat increased for both groups, but subjects taking Dynagenix reported statistically significant less soreness than those taking placebo at every recovery point.

Reduced Perceived Exertion

The Borg rating of perceived exertion scale (RPE), a commonly used method scale to assess felt effort, clearly showed statistically significant benefits due to improvements in those taking Dynagenix compared to placebo at all time points.

ORIGIN STORY

Sustainability Combined with Technology Development

Dynagenix is based on a proprietary Boswellia serrata gum resin extract, which you and your customers can be proud of. PLT Boswellia serrata materials are sourced in India from the states of Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.

dynagenix-origin-story-1

Long Established Partner

Over the last 25 years, PLT has worked with our innovation partner – Laila Nutraceuticals – to create an environment that can assure not only the highest quality ingredient with proven efficacy, but an ingredient that the people who sell it and buy it can be proud of.

3-1

Responding to the Industry

The Dynagenix product form was developed in response to industry requests for a more organoleptically favorable Boswellia ingredient. Most Boswellia extracts are completely insoluble. They also exhibit a strong odor and bitter taste.

dynagenix-origin-story-3

A Variety of Delivery Systems

The development of this new form was a major technological achievement. Its water solubility and neutral taste properties open the ingredient up to inclusion into a wide range of liquid and solid delivery systems.

High Bioavailability

One of the surprises of this development process was that the final product showed improved bioavailability compared to the regular Boswellia extracts containing equivalent strength of AKBA.

From Harvest to Finished Ingredient


The starting point for 5-LOXIN – Boswellia serrata – is a plant that produces Indian frankincense. It is also known as Indian olibanum, Salai guggul, and Sallaki in Sanskrit. The plant is native to much of India and the Punjab region that extends into Pakistan. In partnership with Laila, PLT is committed to the safety and fair treatment of the people who harvest 5-LOXIN. We want to support the long-term health and well-being of the tribal culture and the natural environment upon which it relies.

Every batch of the 5-LOXIN harvest is assigned a specific batch number, and each batch of finished product is traced to a specific region and set of trees. 5-LOXIN is tested and must comply with predefined specifications for different parameters at different stages of product manufacturing – from raw materials to finished product. Quality is monitored by a multi-disciplinary organization with dedicated departments for taxonomy (botanical Identification), raw material analysis, chemical analysis, microbiology, and more.

SUSTAINABILITY

Understanding the Difference Makes the Difference


During the fourth quarter of 2021, PLT Health Solutions announced the commencement of a third-party sustainability audit program on Boswellia serrata trees, which serve as the raw material source for some of our most important ingredients. The audit of this India resource was conducted by renowned botanical research consultancy Botanical Liaisons, LLC, and was undertaken to help the nutraceutical industry and non-governmental agencies around the world understand what we and our ingredient innovation partner Laila Nutraceuticals have known for many years: proper stewardship of natural resources and social responsibility toward the communities that support our work are both the right thing to do and good business.


The audit program was a step in PLT’s campaign to document the sustainability of the tree resource. PLT’s Chairman, Paul Flowerman, made field trips to the key production areas in 2018 and 2019 to observe and document the variety of tree populations, methods of natural and forced propagation and the status of the tribal groups involved in the care of the trees and resin production.

A third audit program was based on a broad range of environmental, cultural and economic parameters. In March 2022 Botanical Liaisons reported to PLT its preliminary conclusions, which included this statement: “It is clear from the information collected from the stakeholders that [sustainability] is supported. Boswellia serrata has several sustainability advantages that prevent over-harvesting of PLT-sourced Boswellia compared to other sources and species of Boswellia.” The report recommended a series of next steps to further evaluate and promote sustainability. 


Subsequently, four important additional developments have added considerable strength to the Boswellia serrata sustainability story:

  1. Authoritative tree survey data from Madhya Pradesh quantified the robustness and sufficiency of the tree resource to provide present and future resin requirements.
  2. CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) determined during its November 2022 meeting (COP 19 in Panama City) that no Boswellia species would get added to the CITES Appendix lists. The health of Boswellia serrata, the only species of commercial importance for PLT, was documented, including information about the replenishment of the resource.
  3. AHPA (American Herbal Products Association) convened an expert panel, which has drafted a brochure entitled, “Good Stewardship Harvesting of Boswellia (Boswellia Serrata).” This is a definitive presentation of current best practices.
  4. An important study modeling the impact of significant climate change by 2050 on Boswellia serrata resources predicted that almost all of Madhya Pradesh, the source of 90+% of commercial resin, will remain conducive for a healthy tree population.

These initiatives represent the type of work we do with our PLT360™ initiative. Introduced in 2015, our PLT360 initiative is a business-wide commitment by PLT Health Solutions to develop ingredients that our customers can be confident and proud to supply to their own customers – knowing that these ingredients are safe, of high quality, efficacious and harvested and manufactured sustainably. PLT360 examines every business decision and business process we undertake to be transparent with our operations, build trust with the health & well-being community and, together with them, support healthier, happier lives for the consumers we serve.
