The present invention provides a composition for down-regulating pro-inflammatory markers. The composition comprises boswellic acid fraction and polysaccharide fraction obtained from Boswellia species at specific concentrations showing enhancement in their activity as compared to boswellic acid fraction and the polysaccharide fraction alone. The invention further comprises use of polysaccharide fraction individually or in combination with boswellic acid fraction for inhibition of PGE2.本發明提供一種用於下調(down-regulation)促發炎指標的組成物。該組成物包含特定濃度之得自乳香屬植物(Boswellia species)的乳香脂酸部分及多醣部分,且與單獨的乳香脂酸部分及多醣部分相比,展現增強的活性。本發明進一步包含個別多醣部分,或其與乳香脂酸部分的組合在抑制PGE2上的用途。
