Why two labels may not describe the same product
Resin powder and extracts can differ substantially in composition. The German Verbraucherzentrale cautions that results obtained with a particular extract cannot simply be transferred to other products or doses. A percentage of boswellic acids alone does not make two preparations equivalent. 1
