From article titled Gugulu made into redirect to this

Gugulu is an ancient medicinal plant from India which comes from genus of the family BURSERACEAE which is a source of gugulipid.^[1] The mukul myrrh tree (Commiphora mukul) secretes a resinous material called gum guggul.

Gugulipid is the purified standardized extract of crude gum guggul (oleoresin). The active components of gugulipid are Z-guggulsterone and E-guggulsterone.

Gugulu is used as ayurveda drug for hypertension, and elevated level of cholesterol and fatty acids.

New research shows possible connection with influence on endocrine system.^[2]

Place your bets. --grin ✎ 06:52, 30 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
