GUGGUL
COMMON NAME
Guggul
LATIN NAME
Commiphora mukul
DESCRIPTION
Guggul extract is a standardized powder extract of the gum of the Commiphora
mukul tree containing a mixture of Z and E guggulsterones. The guggul
tree secretes aromatic oleoresins which are collected when they dry after
exuding from cuts in the bark.
PHYSIOLOGY/PHARMACOLOGY
Guggul lowers "bad" and raises "good" cholesterol,
lowers high cholesterol and triglycerides, inhibits platelet aggregation,
and may increase thermogenesis through stimulation of the thyroid,
potentially resulting in weight loss. In Ayurvedic medicine, it is used to
remove "Ama", or deposits of waste or toxic material in the
body, including mucus and mineral deposits in the joints, thus reducing a
possible cause of sluggishness, inflamed joints, and many other
conditions. A direct anti-inflammatory effect has been observed for
guggulsterones.
INDICATIONS
High cholesterol and triglycerides, obesity, low thyroid function.
