WokVel®: Joint Health Longevity for Humans and Pets

WokVel® is a high-quality Boswellia serrata extract, standardised to provide a proprietary full spectrum of six key boswellic acids. Whether you're developing supplements for humans or creating pet care products, this unique extract targets 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), a key enzyme involved in joint inflammation, helping to support joint integrity and promote healthy aging for both humans^1-3 and companion animals⁴.

WoKVel® is traceable and clean-label, supported by Verdure Sciences®' Verdugration® program, which focuses on supply chain transparency, sourcing practices, and grower engagement. Manufactured in a botanicals-only, vertically integrated facility, WoKVel® is produced according to GMP requirements and is audited by independent third parties, including NSF International.

Proven Benefits for Humans
Human clinical trials^1-3 on aging adults showed that WokVel® significantly supports joint function and enhances inflammatory responses. Participants experienced a 77.5% improvement in soreness and flexibility, along with a notable reduction in knee pain. These studies also indicated that the benefits continued for one month after dosing stopped, suggesting a potential long-term effect on articular cartilage.

Proven Benefits for Pets
A study⁴ on dogs found that Boswellia serrata extract, like WoKVel®, led to a 71% improvement in mobility and comfort, with significant gains after six weeks. The extract was shown to be safe, effective, and well-tolerated, with 82% of pet owners rating its palatability as 'good’. Additionally, WoKVel® is approved by the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) in the U.S.

Research from Banfield Pet Hospital revealed a concerning rise in joint pain among cats and dogs, highlighting a growing need for effective joint health solutions in the pet care market. This presents an opportunity for the natural supplement industry, where a variety of botanical ingredients, like WokVel®, can play a key role in supporting joint health in pets⁵.

With clinically backed benefits for both humans and pets, WoKVel® is an ideal choice for promoting joint health and longevity. Explore more by downloading our WokVel® and WokVel® for Pets product brochures or contact us.
