Guggul (Commiphora mukul), a resin from the guggul tree, has been used for more than 2,000 years in India to treat a range of disorders. In the 1980s, an extract of the resin--dubbed gugulipid--began to be marketed as a cholesterol-lowering agent. The plant compound's mode of action is quite different from that of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs. Some of guggul's active components, guggulsterones, work by blocking a substance that stops the body from getting rid of cholesterol. Statins, on the other hand, block the body from making more cholesterol. However, Guggul should probably not be used in combination with statins (see study in research update).

What the research shows: In studies conducted in India, 205 people with high cholesterol took 500 milligrams of gugulipid a day. After 12 weeks 70 to 80 percent of the patients saw their cholesterol drop an average of 24 percent and their triglycerides drop an average of 22.6 percent. It took about three to four weeks before cholesterol began dropping, the researchers reported. Additionally, in 60 percent of those who responded to the gugulipid therapy, HDL levels increased.

A study published in JAMA in August of 2003, and widely publicized, did not show guggul to have any significant effect on lowering cholesterol levels, which contradicted the results of a dozen or more previous research that had shown guggul to be beneficial in reducing cholesterol. However, when the data were re-analyzed from this latest study, it was discovered that guggul was able to lower fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, insulin levels, and guggul had anti-inflammatory activity, reducing the levels of C-reactive protein.
