Question:
What is "gugulipid?"

Answer:
Gugulipid an extract from the mukul myrrh tree (Commiphora mukul) that is native to India. It is a purified extract standardized for compounds known as guggulsterones. Several clinical studies have shown gugulipid has an ability to lower both cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Typically cholesterol levels will drop 14%-27% in a 4 to 12 week period while triglyceride levels will drop from 22%-30%.

The mechanism of action for gugulipid's cholesterol lowering action is its ability to increase the liver's ability to breakdown cholesterol. The dosage of gugulipid is based on its guggulsterone content. The standard dosage is 25 mg of guggulsterone 3 times daily. Safety studies in rats, rabbits, and monkeys as well as the clinical studies in humans have demonstrated gugulipid to be nontoxic.
