Guggul extract

Product name : Guggul extract

Descriptions :
Guggul extract is a purified form of gum resin derived from a small thorny tree, called Commiphora mukul. It is commonly found in the semi-arid plains of India. The guggul extract, also called guggulolipid, is used in the treatment of a wide range of diseases and is a component of many weight loss supplements. It is considered as an effective herbal drug in treating heart disease and arthritis, and in controlling obesity and lowering cholesterol.
The medicinal properties of guggul are chiefly attributed to the steroid compound guggulosterone present in the resin. Guggul extract is believed to play an important role in controlling atherosclerosis. Guggul reduces the low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the bloodstream.
