Gugulipid® standardized gugulu and guggulsterone. A silly name, a serious application with an ancient pedigree, having references in the ancient Indian system of Ayurveda medicine. Guggulsterones act to reduce LDL and triglycerides (and may increase HDL). Guggulsterones increase the liver's capacity to pick up and eliminate LDL from the blood stream. Guggulsterone stereoisomers -E and -Z are FXR bile acid receptor antagonist ligands. It is also a very good antioxidant.
In a recent study published in the the journal Molecular Pharmacology, researchers found that gugulipid may inhibit prostate cancer cell proliferation.
Guggulsterones are an all natural source of nutrients thought to help stimulate the thyroid. For those with thyroid conditions that make it hard to lose weight, a supplement may help keep the thyroid active enough to start producing weight loss results. This review will take a closer look to determine if the supplement has any potential value to customers looking to lose weight.
List Of Ingredients
There are a variety of different supplements that contain Guggulsterones. Guggulsterones are a commonly seen ingredient, and may even be sold in supplements with no other ingredients. When selecting a supplement, make sure there is a high concentration in the formula.
Product Features
Guggulsterones come from the sap of the Guggul tree. The tree is native to areas of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. The Guggulsterones stimulate the thyroid gland, the one that produces the hormones that control the burning of fat in the body. By taking the supplement to boost the thyroid hormone production, the body will start burning fat and help you loose more weight. For those without thyroid problems, though, taking Guggulsterones may not be a good idea. While this approach to weight loss will be effective for some, without an appetite suppressant or fat burner, it is not going to be suitable for everyone looking to lose weight.
Side Effects
Guggulsterones have caused very few side effects in trial subjects. Some stomach complaints and a headache or two have been reported (the number reporting these symptoms is considered statistically insignificant).
