Guggulsterone Supplements are commonly presented & sold as Formulated Supplementary Sports Foods in Australia - Guggulsterones also known as Commiphora Mukul or Gum Guggul is a natural plant supplement which may promote the loss of stubborn body fat. Bad health, illness, inactivity or years of yo-yo dieting can lower thyroid hormone levels. This makes it very difficult to lose weight. Guggul Extract provides nutrients believed to have a positive effect on thyroid hormone levels, making weight loss faster & easier. No matter how hard they try, most people lose fat from their arms & shoulders instead of around their waist, hips, or thighs (or for men around the stomach). The moment you cut back on calories, your body lowers its metabolic rate. Losing the first few pounds is relatively easy. Studies show that your metabolic rate can slow after just four days on a low calorie diet & exercise programme. The longer the diet lasts, the worse it gets. What this means is that you'll have to gradually eat less & less to continue losing weight. Guggulsterones can promote weight loss by supplying nutrients that support normal thyroid function & increase the metabolic rate. Guggulsterones are a mixture of several plant lipids isolated from the plant Commiphora Mukul. Carefully planned scientific studies over a period of two years show that Guggulsterones may reduce bodyweight in animals. In one study carried in the journal Current Therapeutic Research shows test subjects using a guggulsterone-based supplement lost fat three times faster compared to those using diet & exercise alone. Following the six-week program, the group using the guggulsterone-based supplement lost 9.5 pounds of fat, compared to 3.1 pounds in those who just followed the diet & exercise programme. When the research team measured thyroid activity in three of the subjects, they found an 8-10% increase in thyroid hormone levels. Combined with the right training programme & a sensible diet, its is feasible one may safely lose ½ to 1kg of fat each week. They may be sucessfully stacked with other fat loss supplements for synergistic benefits including fat burners, fat metabolisers & carb blockers.

Guggulsterones are not a sole source of nutrition and should be used in conjunction with an appropriate physical training or exercise programme. Not suitable for children or pregnant women. Should only be used under medical or dietetic supervision. Always read label prior to use.
