Anyone out there tried these thyroid boosters? Seems like an interesting substance to lower colestrol, fight acne, and lower body fat to boot. Feedback welcome.

Well, I think the jury is still out on these. This is research I read some time back....probably close to right, I personally have heard of anyone using this supp. to make great fat loss strides with it.

The guggalipid is an extract from a tree in India found to decrease blood fats. Other research showed it to increase thyroid hormone in rats. A recent pilot study* reported by Jose Antonio indicated some fat loss effects.

However the results obtained were no more dramatic than the unfashionable approach of "diet and exercise". Guggulsterone extract has never really caught on as a reputable "fat burner", mainly because it is not really effective.
