Guggul

Guggul is the oleo-gum-resin of Commiphora mukul (also classified as Commiphora wightii), a small thorny tree of the arid regions of India and neighbouring countries. Nustras supplies guggul as a gum-resin extract in powder form, standardised to guggulsterones, for use as a botanical ingredient in the supplement sector. Guggulsterones (the E- and Z-isomers) are plant steroids and serve as the marker compounds of the resin.

The extract is formulated into botanical supplements in capsule and tablet form, into powdered blends and premixes, and into preparations in the Ayurvedic tradition, where guggul resin has a long history of use as a raw material.

The material is a powdered extract of guggul gum-resin, typically light brown to brown in colour. Total guggulsterones are standardised to specification and determined by HPLC; loss on drying, ash and particle size are standardised to specification, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies guggul extract in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed packaging and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Guggul (Commiphora mukul) extract is an accepted botanical supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application.
