PLANTDEscriptION
Guggul is the yellowish resin (or gum) thatis produced by Commiphora mukul, a small, thorny plant that growsthroughout northern India. Its active components, Z-guggulsteroneand E-guggulsterone, have an ability to lower both cholesterol andtriglyceride levels. Specifically, guggulipid lowers VLDL and LDLcholesterol and triglycerides while simultaneously raising HDLcholesterol. This indicates guggul''s primary use for providingprotection against atherosclerosis. These effects are due toguggul''s action on the liver which is stimulated to metabolise LDLcholesterol, effectively lowering the amount in thebloodstream.
Native to India, Guggullipid has been used for a long time in Ayurvedic medicine to treatobesity and other weight related problems. Today, Guggul isfrequently used to help lower cholesterol levels and decrease highblood pressure.
Uses:

- One of the main uses of Guggul is treatmentof high cholesterol. Gum Guggul both lowered cholesterollevels and also separately protected against the development ofhardening of the arteries. Guggul can improve cholesterollevels. Gum Guggul is said to help reduce high cholesterol,because it lowers harmful low-density lipoproteins while elevatingthe beneficial high-densitylipoproteins.
Guggul may lower serum cholesterol levels byas much as 24%, and triglyceride levels by as much as 23%, byincreasing the hepatic binding of LDL cholesterol. Its effects onHDL cholesterol levels are variable, either increasing ordecreasing.
A small controlled trial compared oralgugulipid against tetracycline for the treatment of acne andreported equivalent results.
