HelloPharmacist Scorecard of BoswelliaZyme Complex by Energetix
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
BoswelliaZyme Complex contains 3 active ingredients. Indian Frankincense (from Boswellia serrata, a tree resin) is the main one, traditionally used for joint and respiratory support.
The other two actives are Pancreatin 8x (a digestive enzyme blend) and Serrazimes-I (a proteolytic enzyme formula), both meant to aid digestion and reduce inflammation. The capsule itself and rice starch are inactive fillers.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Indian Frankincense is possibly effective for osteoarthritis, meaning some evidence supports its use but more research is needed. For allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, Alzheimer disease, and cluster headaches, the evidence isn't established enough to rate it one way or the other.
We hold no effectiveness data on Pancreatin 8x or Serrazimes-I.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Orally, Indian Frankincense is generally well tolerated short-term, though quality and dosage vary widely between products. The most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, heartburn, itching, and nausea.
Dizziness and vertigo have also been reported in a small number of trial participants. Rarely, very large amounts can form a bezoar (a solid mass in the stomach).
Do not use this product during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety data. Avoid it while breastfeeding as well, since safety is unknown.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your medications against this product if you take drugs processed by CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, or CYP2C9 enzymes in your liver — these are Moderate-severity interactions that may change drug levels. Also double-check if you're on immunosuppressants.
Use the checker on this page with your exact medication names.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take medications processed through your liver — especially antiarrhythmics, some antidepressants, blood thinners, or immunosuppressants — you need to check this product against your exact prescriptions before starting. Indian Frankincense is possibly helpful for osteoarthritis, but it's not a substitute for medical care.
Talk with your pharmacist about whether this is right for you and any drugs you're on.

BoswelliaZyme Complex by Energetix Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
BoswelliaZyme Complex by Energetix contains Indian Frankincense, which interacts with several medications through effects on liver enzymes that break down drugs in your body.
The most serious concern is with medications processed by CYP3A4 substrates (a major liver enzyme family) — Boswellia may increase or decrease their levels, potentially changing how well they work or raising the risk of side effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Indian Frankincense also theoretically affects drugs processed by CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, and CYP2C9 enzymes, all with Moderate severity. This means it could raise the blood levels of medications handled by these pathways.
Additionally, Boswellia may alter the effects of immunosuppressant drugs (medications that calm an overactive immune system).
We could not check two other ingredients in this product — Pancreatin 8x and Serrazimes-I — because we hold no interaction data for them. Altogether, these interactions span 939 individual medications.
Use the medication checker on this page to see if any of your prescriptions are affected before you start.

Indian Frankincense
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, Boswellia serrata might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Boswellia serrata gum resin inhibits CYP1A2 enzymes.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, Boswellia serrata might increase the levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Boswellia serrata gum resin inhibits CYP2C19 enzymes.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, Boswellia serrata might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Boswellia serrata gum resin inhibits CYP2C9 enzymes.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, Boswellia serrata might increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Boswellia serrata gum resin inhibits CYP2D6 enzymes.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, Boswellia serrata might increase or decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that Boswellia serrata gum resin inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes. Other in vitro research shows that Boswellia serrata extract inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes at most concentrations, although it may modestly induce enzyme activity at low concentrations.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, Boswellia serrata might alter the effects of immunosuppressive drugs.
Some in vitro research suggests that Boswellia serrata extracts might inhibit mediators of autoimmune disorders such as leukotrienes and reduce production of antibodies and cell-mediated immunity. However, other in vitro research suggests that, when coupled with calcium ions, boswellic acids containing the keto group have immunostimulant properties within specific cell signaling pathways.
