What is guggulsterone?

Guggulsterone is a bioactive sterol found in the gum resin of Commiphora mukul (guggul). It is used in supplements marketed for cholesterol and metabolic health.

Does guggulsterone lower cholesterol?

Some studies suggest it may modestly affect total and LDL cholesterol, but results are mixed. More recent or larger trials have not shown consistent benefits.

Can guggulsterone affect the thyroid?

It may influence thyroid hormone activity based on limited evidence, which could affect metabolism. Human clinical evidence is weak, so caution is advised for people with thyroid conditions.

What is a typical guggulsterone dosage?

Common supplemental ranges are about 50–150 mg per day, depending on the product and standardization. Follow the label and consult a clinician if you have medical conditions or take medications.

What are the main side effects or interactions of guggulsterone?

It may cause gastrointestinal upset or other intolerance in some people. Because it may affect hormones and metabolism, it can potentially interact with thyroid medications and other drugs; check with a healthcare professional.
