Unblinded open label trial and strong endorsement.
Curcumin (from turmeric) plus boswellia (from frankincense) are presented as a potentially helpful adjunct for tendinopathy symptom relief, but not a standalone cure or substitute for proper loading and rehab.
youtube
Core idea
Tendinopathy is common, slow to heal, and often poorly managed with NSAIDs, cortisone, and generic PT that does not load the tendon correctly.
youtube
A large open‑label study (670 people with tendinopathy) used a combination of curcuminoids and Boswellia serrata extracts for 30 days and reported substantial reductions in pain and functional limitations with a good safety profile.
youtube
Study details mentioned
Participants: 670 people with various tendinopathies in a real‑world, post‑observational open‑label study.
youtube
Dose used: 320 mg curcumin + 480 mg Boswellia serrata extract daily for 30 days.
youtube
Outcomes after ~1 month:
Pain reduced by just over 51%.
youtube
Functional limitations roughly cut in half.
youtube
Use of NSAIDs/other pain meds reduced by about 20%.
youtube
Side effects in about 6% of participants, none reported as severe.
youtube
Limitation emphasized: not placebo‑controlled, so results are promising but not proof of a “magic cure.”

youtube
Proposed mechanisms
Both curcumin and boswellia are described as:
Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the body.
youtube
Improving collagen organization and increasing tendon tensile strength.
youtube
Enhancing microcirculation, which may help clear waste products and deliver nutrients to damaged tissue.
youtube
The combo is said to have a synergistic effect when taken together, amplifying overall impact on pain and tissue health.
youtube
Role alongside rehab
The video stresses that no supplement can fix poor biomechanics or chronic overload; proper tendon loading and strengthening remain essential.
youtube
Curcumin + boswellia are framed as an add‑on that may:
Decrease symptoms and make everyday function more comfortable.
youtube
Reduce reliance on NSAIDs and avoid some of their GI, kidney, and cardiovascular risks.
youtube
Target use case: people stuck in a cycle of tendon pain where NSAIDs cause problems or cortisone injections give only short‑term relief.

If you want, a next step could be to contrast this open‑label study with other tendon supplementation data (e.g., collagen + vitamin C, etc.) for context.
