What Are Guggulsterones?
Guggulsterones are active plant sterols extracted from the resin of the guggul tree (Commiphora mukul), a herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. These compounds are known to support healthy lipid metabolism and thyroid function. Source Naturals Guggulsterones delivers a standardized 37.5 mg dose per tablet, designed to help maintain a healthy balance of cholesterol and triglycerides.*
These sterols work by interacting with the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor involved in bile acid synthesis. This action may promote the breakdown and elimination of excess fats, thereby supporting cardiovascular health.*
Key Benefits of Guggulsterones
-
Supports healthy cholesterol levels – By enhancing bile acid production, guggulsterones may help the body keep both LDL and HDL cholesterol within normal ranges.*

-
Promotes arterial health – Maintaining balanced lipid levels contributes to flexible and healthy arteries.*

These combined effects make guggulsterones a valuable supplement for those looking to support their cardiovascular system naturally.
