Guggul
Commiphora mukul
2.5% Guggulsterones - 44mg per serving
The Three Wise Men And Their Guggul?!? Guggul is the Myrrh of the Bible?s Sacred
formulas. Guggul is the resinous sap of a tough little ten foot tall tree that grows
amongst the rocky hillsides of India?s least populated arid regions. The tree?s pink
to brown flowers produce a small red fruit. Each tree yields only about one pound of
Guggul resin per year, which then requires further reduction and purification to provide
a standardized level of the most highly valued constituents. Its mention as treasure in
the Bible is over 2,500 years old and its mention in ancient Ayurvedic texts goes
back nearly as far.
It too is an anti-inflammatory benefiting respiratory concerns and arthritis.
Most interesting however, is how Guggul bolsters the thyroid, bringing this often
sleepy organ closer to its full, vital, youthful efficiency, and enhancing your
utilization of essential iodine - and creating a more youthful level of
hormone production - LIFE. Thyroid hormones are essential for turning couch -
warming flab into productive energy at the potential net increased rate of one
pound per week, until reaching the optimally youthful fat to muscle ratio,
which your genetic blueprint specifies.
Guggul is one of the most fascinating and complex herbals with dozens upon
dozens of hyper-exotic phytonutrients. A small handful of these have been
identified as the primarily active components, but when isolated from their vast
and complex life-created phytonutrient matrix, they do not function as
anticipated. Instead, the best material contains the full compliment of phytonutrients,
pure and clean of extraneous material, and with the primary constituents
developed to a standardized level.
As with all complex phytonutrient blends, Guggul?s beneficial results are
diverse and far reaching. Guggul is a star among the Ayurvedic herbs as a
catalyst of optimum lipid efficiency in the body. It positively impacts
cholesterol as well as obesity - profoundly important when one considers the
high tolls levied by cancer, heart disease and diabetes. There are of course no
guarantees, however, a complete elimination of these three diseases alone would
eliminate nearly 7 out of 8 causes of death and roughly the same percentage of
disabilities. And as you know, with Iridesca, Guggul is not working alone.
Guggul both slows the biosynthesis of cholesterol (your primary source) and
facilitates excretion of excess cholesterol from the body. Other components in
Guggul inhibit platelet aggregation (synergistic to
Lecithin, Garlic and Ginkgo...) resulting in improved efficiency of blood. This
means you get better cellular oxygenation, better nutrient delivery, and better
toxin removal. With better protecting against the hazards of aggregation there
is less risk of stroke. Also understand that better oxygenation = better
sex. Guggul is also typically supplemented where there are gynecological
disorders, a sluggish immune system and fungal infestations.
Guggul?s combination of enhanced energy, improved sense of well-being,
and accommodation of a more youthful level of essential fatty acid utilization
and hormone levels, have given Guggul a bit of a reputation as an aphrodisiac.
Guggul has been proposed as a possible therapy for weight reduction.
Preliminary studies suggest that guggul may be associated with a small loss in
weight or a reduction in tissue folds. However, studies have been small, and it
is not clear whether guggul offers any benefits over diet and exercise in the
treatment of obesity.
Guggul has been proposed as a possible arthritis therapy. Animal studies
suggest that guggul may have anti-inflammatory properties. Studies in humans
have been small and have had flaws in their designs. However, there is early
evidence that some patients may experience less joint stiffness in the
morning, less fatigue and improved grip strength and may be able to write,
dress and walk easier while taking guggul preparations.
