increased body temp on Guggulsterone

[Lao Tzu]

Has anyone used this and had their body temp go up?

While im on the subject, why does BAC say the dose is 1g when most sites say 30-60mg 3x a day is the recommended dose? is that 30-60mg dose for 100% guggal while BAC offers 10% guggal or what?

actually most guggulsterones are standardized to 96% e isomer and 4% z isomer. E isn't very bioavailable, z is the one that supposedly illicits all of the effects attributed to guggul. At 4% you'd need to consume 1g guggul to get 40mg z-isomer, rest are the metabolites yield (e-isomer)

let me put on my 'pretend to know what the hell im talking about' hat first:


Here is BAC's description

GUGGUL extract containing 2.5% guggulsterones Z & E by HPLC, 10% total guggulsterones, lowers cholesterol, raises HDL levels, and increases fat loss through thermogenesis and by increasing levels of thyroid T3 & T4. Studies from India show cholesterol levels generally drop 14-27 % in 4-12 weeks, while triglyceride levels drop 22-30%. Studies of those eating a “normal” American diet have mixed results. Much so-called 10% extract measures only 1.6% Z & E by HPLC. Mildly bitter. See *212 tocotrienols, *719 Better Cholesterol, *775 policosanol. 100 doses, 100 grams, $9.50. Code 826.8


so i guess it has 2.5% Z & E, but i dont know how much Z it has. Im assuming its no different than any other though, but other products vary greatly in dose recommendations. Some say 40mg, some say 750mg and i dont know why.

hahahahah still a hilarious word

ok, BAC's guggul is NOT synthetic, so you will have to consume a gram of guggul and at 10% (as per their claim) you'll get 100mg guggulsterone E+Z, other 900mg of it are some related trash which is not active. You can get synthetic guggul and then you can dose it at 50-100mg a day since it only contains E+Z isomers, all else filtered out
Opt for synthetic since it contains 4% z, as opposed to 2.5%z in a natural guggul derivative.
