Guggulipid for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia: a randomized controlled trial

Article Abstract:

A substance called guggulipid that is derived from the resin of the mukul myrrh tree does not appear to lower cholesterol levels, according to a study of 103 people with high cholesterol levels. In fact, guggulipid actually increased blood levels of LDL cholesterol, which may be harmful. Extracts of this resin have been used medicinally since 600 BC.
