I think fonz used to recommend starting out with 9-12 caps and then you can work your way down. The stuff is only $15 per bottle so its not really a big deal.

The syntrax is good because it is a 10% extract whereas some of the others are only 2.5% extracts.

A link for info on guggulbolic by Syntrax:

Guggul resin works wonder for mild-moderate acne from AAS.

You have to buy either the 10% extract( Guggulbolic by Syntrax or Guggulbolic Extreme by SYntrax) or the 2.5% extract that is sold in raw form.

One problem. You need 4X as much of the 2.5% extract as you do of the 10% extract, so that can be a pain.

I have tried both, and can honestly say the 10% extract in EQUAL quantities in mg ---> compared to the 2.5% extract, is FAR, FAR better.

E.g.

180mg 10% extract compared to 720mg 2.5% Extract.

Start of at 12 caps(30mg each)/day for a month and then go down to 8 caps/day and stay there. You will notice a drastic improvement.

And btw, B5 = Worthless. It has no effect on the sebaceous gland it just dries out your skin.

And if you search the old medline, you would have found a study where they compared Guggulsterones 10% extract to tetracycline, and found tetracycline to be 63% effective at treating mild-moderate acne, while guggulsterones came in at 66% effectivesness.....making it a better acne fighter than tetracycline. It will also have the added benefit of improving your lipid levels.

I agree! However, it is not a merical worker. But every little bit counts. You may want to try Acne Solutions it is like Proactive except walmart sells it for half the price $20. Has Bezyl and other common acne fighting ingredients works wonders for me!

Vit. A, primerose oil caps, and zinc 50mgs is a great pack too.

Sounds about right. I buy it in bulk, and I have three bottles at different locations so I haven't really noticed.
