Guggul Lipid
Overview
Maintaining cholesterol levels is a modern concern.
But that doesn't mean we can't look to the past for help.
Guggul is one of the oldest and most prominent herbs in the traditional Ayurvedic medicine of India.
Guggul has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to address a variety of health concerns, including cardiovascular health, liver health, joint complaints, and even weight issues.
Guggul is made from the gum resin of the guggul tree, which is native to India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
Guggulipid (or guggul lipid), an extract derived from guggul, has been the subject of several scientific studies that suggest it may help maintain normal-range cholesterol levels.*
Nature's Sunshine Guggul Lipid Concentrate is standardized for guggulsterone content.
Benefits
- Supports the circulatory system.
- Contains standardized guggulsterones.
How It Works
Guggul has a bitter, pungent taste that stimulates the release of digestive fluids and assists with the digestion of fats and oils.
Guggul is also prized for its powerful detoxifying and rejuvenating qualities.
Guggul's detoxifying effects help to clear accumulated toxins from body tissues such as the joints that may cause discomfort, while also lubricating and rejuvenating joint tissues.
Guggul contains a mixture of active plant compounds, including plant steroids, essential oils, lignans, flavonoids, carbohydrates, and amino acids.
Guggulsterones, a type of plant steroid found in guggul, have been identified as the active constituent responsible for guggul's health effects.
According to studies, guggulsterones may help maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range, as well as decrease circulatory fat deposits.
Guggulsterones have been shown to affect cholesterol production in the liver, possibly by improving the liver’s ability to process, metabolize and excrete cholesterol.
In addition, guggulsterones provide potent antioxidant protection and also help to promote a healthy inflammatory response.
Plus, guggulsterones may help reduce fat stores, due to their ability to improve thyroid function.
