Guggulsterones are generally a combination of various isolated compounds from the Commiphora Mukul plant also referred to as Gum Guggul. Scientific studies which have been carefully planned indicate that they reduce bodyweight and this is mostly attributed to the stimulating effect which they cause on the thyroid gland responsible for controlling the metabolic rate. When the hormone levels of the thyroid increase, the metabolic rate is boosted and obviously, caloric restriction decreases the rate of metabolism. This ensures that the metabolism keeps chugging along despite the calorie restriction.
Guggulsterones, which are components found in the gum of the Guggul tree shown here, stimulate the thyroid gland to increase metabolism.
Studies have indicated that guggulsterones are used in the maintenance of normal lipid levels of blood, while supporting a fine texture of the skin, through a decrease in blemish appearances as well as optimizing the function of the thyroid gland thus supporting an ideal loss of body weight and fat. Guggulsterones are responsible for signaling the thyroid to enhance the secretion of extra hormones used for increasing the metabolic rate. This is quite an ideal way of increasing the metabolic rate without necessarily increasing the heart rate. When looking at any diet supplement containing guggulsterones, it is important to check the percentages of the extracts which are available in 95%, 10%, and 2% and the higher the percentage, the better the extract.
Guggulsterones are helpful for anyone looking forward to weight loss, especially those people who have attempted dieting for a while. Unlike such supplements as ephedrine, guggulsterones does not result in stimulating the nervous system, and are thus generally considered some of the safest available supplements. Guggulsterones stimulate the thyroid gland’s activity naturally hence ensuring that the metabolic rate is returned where it is required. This increases the rate and ease of weight loss, since more calories are burned by the body everyday. Statistics have in the past indicated that using supplements which contain guggulsterones leads to a much faster weight lose in comparison to simply dieting and exercising.
Guggulsterones are approved for lowering the levels of triglyceride and elevated cholesterol. While it raises HDL (good cholesterol) levels, it as well lowers the levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. A common guggulsterone intake is 25 milligrams when taken three times in a day, in a standardized Guggul extract form of 10% guggulsterones. The effect that guggulsterones have weight loss usually gets noticed after a period of ten to fourteen days.
A combination of guggulsterones with various other weight loss ingredients can result in an effective means to lose weight, when combined with a calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise. Experts have been known to recommend a combination of guggulsterones with Forskolin which is a root extract of the Coleus Forskohlii plants. The way these two compounds work is slightly different and this leads to easier and faster weight loss when mixed with a regular exercise program and a controlled diet of calories.
