GUGULIPID

Gugulipid is considered a cholesterol lowing drug in India. Studies IN INDIA also report it can raise HDL and lower bad blood lipid levels, called triglycerides. Claims state cholesterol levels dropped 37% and triglyceride's dropped 30% over four weeks. Why eat Cheerios that drop cholesterol only 4%.

Old Trunks knows someone who can not take the pharmacy items like Lipitor. Niacin, a natural complex, isn't tolerated either. Another product at the drug store in the supplement aisle is red yeast rice is not tolerated either. Perhaps my person would benefit from gugulipids.

A small, thorny tree that grows throughout India seems an unlikely contender as a remedy in the fight against heart disease. Yet, the mukul tree (Commiphora mukul) is fast gaining a reputation for this very purpose in the scientific community, following a series of studies that have revealed its effectiveness in this area.
The gum of the mukul tree is used to produce standardized extracts called gugulipids, and it is these extracts that researchers have discovered are responsible for its heart-protective benefits. This is something Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) medical practitioners have known about for centuries, as they have long prized gugulipids for their ability to promote arterial health and prevent blockages.

Other sources claim to be cholesterol lowering also. Have you heard about

Beta-1,3 Glucan

Chitosan

Chromium picolinate
A study done at Bemidji University stated the group of athletics who took 200 mcg. daily built muscle mass. Over weight volunteers in San Antonio lost weight and gained muscle without exercise or diet change.

Creatine Monohydrate

Curcumin
Curry powder, used in Indian cooking and is a potent antioxidant. It is used to treat RA; does that mean that East Indian's do not have RA?

Cynarin or Artichike Concentrate

Hercampure

Looks like a lot of products come from tree bark. Wonder if the bark of the tree on the bern has any value in lowering cholesterol? It is, after all, closer than the rain forest.

Oh the tonics that we will try!
