| Bodybuilding, being a sport of
aesthetics, is not only concerned about building solid muscle tissue but also reducing the
amount of fat deposits. You might weigh 240 pounds and have a tremendous amount of
muscular development but if you have two inches of subcutaneous fat all over your body you
won't look all that great. You definitely won't be aesthetically pleasing and some people
might even call you Doughboy. Well, if you're anything like the Guggul tree you won't want
to be called names so you'll work hard at looking your best. Fortunately, in the case of
fat loss, Guggul understands your dilemma and is right there to help you meet your goals. I first became interested in Guggulsterones when I noticed a
few studies on their thyroid stimulating properties. I discovered that Guggulsterones have
a direct stimulating action on the thyroid gland through some or the other enzymatic
mechanisms. One of the studies concluded that Guggulsterones are a viable option for the
treatment of hypothyroidal conditions. With this information in hand, I immediately went
out and obtained some standardized Guggul from my herbal supplier. This Guggul product was
made from a yellowish powder and was claimed to be standardized to 2.5% Guggulsterones. I
gave it to various people to test its effects on body temperature and fat loss. To my
surprise, no one experienced any type of dramatic results on this product-even at high
dosages.
My next step was to study how the Guggul was
processed and to make sure I was getting the best material. After much research, I
discovered that there are two ways of processing Guggul. One, using a solvent to extract
the Guggulsterones, produces a low-potency yellowish powder. The other produces a
high-potency coffee looking brown powder and is naturally processed according to ancient
Indian practices. The product that I initially obtained was the low-potency, solvent
extracted Guggul.

THYROX T-3 increase the rate of conversion of T-4, the low activity hormone, to T-3,
the high activity hormone. This causes an increase in basal metabolic rate, or BMR, which
are the number of calories one burns at rest. This is accomplished without the use of
stimulants but with drug-like potency. The main ingredient, Gum Guggul Extract, delivers a
powerful 300 mg of guggulsterones per dosage. On Sale Now

In hopes that there was a difference in
effectiveness between the two types of extracts, I decided to obtain the high-potency
brown powder. To my utter surprise, I discovered that nearly every product on the market
was made from the yellowish, low-potency powder-the coffee looking extract just couldn't
be found! In desperation, I decided to do a search in India in hopes of finding the
required extract. After much ado, I found the elusive brown Guggul extract and I
immediately ordered some for sampling.
This time when I gave it to people to try, something
totally different occurred. Instead of having a minimal response, the Guggul extract
caused its users to break into a sweat and feel very hot. Upon taking their body
temperatures, some of these people noticed a dramatic increase. Amazingly, a few people
reported body temperatures as high as 101 degrees.
What does all of this mean? First, only purchase a
product that is made with a high potency, natural extract. Not only should the label
indicate this fact, but it can be personally verified by opening one of the capsules. The
material inside should be dark brown in color and have an odor similar to a mixture of
coffee and raisins. Next, the warm/hot feeling, the sweating, and the rise in body
temperature that was experienced are indeed a confirmation of Guggulsterone's thyroid
stimulating ability. This is good news for those of us trying to lose weight-especially
adipose tissue/fat stores.
When the thyroid gland is stimulated, it
produces more thyroid hormones such as thyroxin. These thyroid hormones have a profound
effect on the rate of metabolism including a direct catabolic effect on adipose tissue.
Practically, this means that Guggulsterones will stimulate your thyroid to produce more
thyroid hormones which in turn will raise your metabolic rate and burn more fat!
Guggulsterones by themselves have been shown to work very well for fat loss,
but I have
found a combination that is nothing short of amazing-Guggulsterones and an ECA stack (thermogenic)
It made sense to me that if one could combine the
fat burning effects of the thyroid hormones with that of the adrenergic hormones (e.g.
adrenaline) something very dramatic would result. Also, interesting is the fact that ECA
type stacks tend to decrease the amount of thyroid hormones circulating in the blood over
time. Guggulsterones do a great job of inhibiting this reduction, thus keeping all
physiological fat burning systems operating at a maximum level.
The final ways that Guggulsterones can benefit in
the fight to burn fat is in ketogenic diets and growth hormone use. Over time, ketogenic
diets tend to reduce the thyroid's effectiveness by reducing the conversion of T4 to the
more potent T3. Also, where Guggulsterones were taken daily for 3 months, they produced a
progressive reduction in lesions in the majority of the patients. With tetracycline, the
percentage reduction in the inflammatory lesions was 65.2% as compared to 68% with the
Guggulsterones. As you can see, our friend Guggul is extremely potent at fighting acne.
Who can benefit from this? Hmmm!!! Well, as far as I
can tell, nearly everyone. There is not a single person I know that would not like a
better complexion. This is especially true for those on anabolic/androgenic steroids as
these tend to increase the skin's oiliness and potential for acne. Let me guess - nobody
is laughing at Mr. Huggulee Guggulee! Indeed, he might have a funny name but in my book
he's a hero. Where else can you find a compound that will help you lose fat, improve your
cholesterol profile, and at the same time improve your complexion? I've looked long and
hard and have yet to find even one competitor.
Oh yeah! Before I forget, the dosage one should take
is 30-60mg three times per day with meals.
Always remember though to find a product which
contains the high potency naturally extracted Guggul! My final advice then is to go out
and find this guy, shake his hand, and then reap the host of benefits that he brings.
