Vitamart's Take

Guggul is one of Ayurveda's best-known resins, and Himalaya's version is a thoughtful one: instead of a single extract, each capsule combines a gum extract, the whole stem powder and a supercritical extract, with a stated 6% guggulsterones. It's vegan, cleanly formulated and simple to take with meals. Because guggul can interact with several heart, blood-thinning, diabetes and thyroid medications, it's worth checking with your practitioner first if you take any of them.

How Himalaya Guggul Compares

Guggul vs. Himalaya Organic Arjuna

Arjuna is Himalaya's single-herb choice for cardiovascular health and blood pressure already within the normal range. Guggul focuses on cholesterol levels, digestion, and liver and immune function.

Guggul vs. plant sterols

Plant sterols are plant compounds taken specifically to support cholesterol. Guggul is a traditional Ayurvedic resin with a broader traditional use that also includes digestion and liver support.

Guggul vs. red yeast rice

Red yeast rice is another popular cholesterol supplement. Guggul is a different, Ayurvedic option with 6% guggulsterones.
