Description:

• Guggul is antiseptic, stimulant, emmenagogue, astringent, carminative, expectorant and antispasmodic. Guggul is a very effective herbal medicine for controlling obesity and cholesterol.
• Ketone fraction that is extracted from the oleo-gum-resin contains the most potent cholesterol lowering components. The extract isolates ketonic steroid compounds known as guggulsterones.
• These compounds have been shown to provide the lipid-lowering actions noted for guggul.
• Guggul significantly lowers serum triglycerides and cholesterol as well as LDL and VLDL cholesterols (the bad cholesterols). At the same time, it raises levels of HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol).
• Guggul has also been shown to reduce the stickiness of platelets-another effect that lowers the risk of coronary artery disease.  Encouraged by the Ayurvedic & Unani description of this herb for lowering cholesterol, scientists have conducted clinical trials to test the effectiveness of this herb in disorders of lipid metabolism and for lowering weight.
• The research resulted in the development of a natural cholesterol lowering substance that is safer and more effective than many cholesterol-lowering drugs.
• Guggul offers considerable benefit in preventing and treating atherosclerotic vascular disease.
• As it is most effective in lowering LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, it reduces obesity as they are the factors directly concerned with its management.  
• Guggul exhibits a cholesterol lowering ability unlike any other natural substance. In human trials, using gugulipid, the cholesterol levels dropped by 14-27% in a 4 to 12 week period while the triglyceride levels dropped by 22-30%. It has a great effect in preventing heart atherosclerosis or narrowing of the arteries.  
• Guggul also has marked antiarthritic effect, comparable to that of hydrocortisone and is useful in rheumatism. Also useful in nervous diseases and urinary disorders.
