Guggel(Guggul) is taken in the form of guggulsterones, an extract of the resin that has been refined to prevent abdominal anguish and diarrhea. A common dose is 25 milligrams of guggulsterones three times daily. This herb is also accessible as an ayurvedic preparation called a rasayana. In addition, guggul is accessible in tinctures, and in combinations with other “heart-healthy” substances, such as hawthorn, ionositol, and/ or niacin.

You should not use crude guggulu, which can cause nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and skin rashes. Guggul should be used with caution by people who have Crohn’s disease or irritable bowel syndrome. It also should be avoided by people taking beta-blockers, especially propranolol (Inderal, Inderide), or calcium channel blockers, especially diltiazem (Cardizem), for high blood pressure, since it can make these medications less accessible to the body. Guggul should be used with caution by pregnant women and by anyone with liver disease or inflammatory bowel disease and diarrhea.
