Guggulsterone
Guggulsterone is a plant-derived compound studied for cholesterol management, anti-inflammatory, and potential thyroid-modulating effects.
Guggulsterone is a bioactive sterol found in the gum resin of Commiphora mukul (guggul). Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, it is now marketed as a supplement for cholesterol and metabolic health.
Human evidence for cholesterol and inflammation benefits is inconsistent, and safety concerns exist regarding liver health and thyroid effects.
Supports healthy cholesterol levels
LimitedGuggulsterone may modestly lower total and LDL cholesterol, though results are mixed and larger, recent trials do not confirm consistent effects.
May have anti-inflammatory effects
LimitedLaboratory and animal studies suggest anti-inflammatory properties; however, human data are sparse and not robust.
Potential thyroid-modulating effect
LimitedGuggulsterone may increase thyroid hormone activity, which could alter metabolic rate, but clinical evidence in humans is weak.
