Guggulsterones - Natural Support for Cholesterol Health - Guggul to Lower Cholesterol
Today’s lifestyle, with its high-fat, processed food diet, lack of exercise, and
high stress levels, leaves you at risk for imbalanced cholesterol levels.
Source Naturals is committed to your optimal health and longevity. That’s
why we developed GUGGULSTERONES.
GUGGULSTERONES is a natural solution to help keep your cholesterol levels
in the normal range. Guggulsterones are compounds found in guggul,
the resin of a shrub used in traditional Ayurvedic herbalism to support a
healthy heart. Research shows guggulsterones help
maintain cholesterol levels in the normal range by helping
to promote bile production, which removes cholesterol
from the blood. They also boost thyroid
activity, which supports cholesterol regulation by the
liver. Source Naturals offers you natural guggul
extract, standardized to provide a clinically effective
daily dosage.
As one of the most important botanicals to support
cardiovascular health, GUGGULSTERONES is at the
heart of Source Naturals’ commitment to empower
people to take charge of their own health.

to emulsify fats. Because excess cholesterol and
triglycerides are excreted from our bodies in the
form of bile, it is important to support the liver’s
bile-producing mechanism.
Research shows that certain guggul compounds—
guggulsterones—help maintain cholesterol levels
in the normal range and act at the farnesoid X
receptor (FXR) to promote bile production.
Guggulsterones appear to be farnesoid X receptor
(FXR) antagonists. FXR is a bile acid receptor. If
FXR is activated, this results in down-regulation
of the amount of bile acids produced by the liver.
Bile is made out of cholesterol, which gets used up
when bile is produced. When bile levels are high,
the production of more bile is slowed through
negative feedback of th ...
