Bosmeric-SR has a unique Bi-layered caplet that provides an immediate onset of action within 20 minutes and then long lasting sustained release (SR) benefits for up to 8 hours. Capsule products take about 1-2 hours to peak (outside the therapeutic range) and then the benefits drop off quickly. Therefore, more capsule products have to be taken more often to maintain efficacy. Bosmeric-SR solves this problem by delivering the anti-inflammatory effects quicker and then provides a sustained release for 8 hours in the therapeutic range. Bosmeric-SR also ensures its ingredients potency is 100% at the time you take it giving you the maximum benefits. Similar products that have ingredients like ginger, bromelain, nattokinase, and proteolytic enzymes mixed with curcumin and boswellia actually degrade the other ingredients potency as it sits in the capsules, so you get less potency over time and therefore less benefits with capsule products.
