GUGULIPID

Possible applications:

• Acne Vulgaris
• Atherosclerosis

Gugulipid comes from a tree in India called a mukul tree and is the extract of the oleoresin (gum guggul).   It's active components, Z-guggulsterone and E-guggulsterone, have an ability to lower both cholseterol and triglyceride levels.  It does this by increasing the liver's metabolism of LDL-cholesterol, thus limiting its accumulation in the blood stream.   Safety studies done on animals have shown it to be nontoxic.   It may be used and is considered safe to use during pregnancy.
