Guggul is a potent ayurvedic remedy that is obtained from the sap of the guggul tree. Guggul resin is used to assist in the treatment of arthritis, the reduction of cholesterol levels, and many other things. Like curcumin, while guggul can be useful as a nutraceutical for daily use, there are certainly some groups who will benefit greatly from guggulsterones or guggul-based products. One of the best examples of a group that benefits from guggul are athletes or people who train intensely every week.

What Are The General Benefits of Guggul?

As we mentioned earlier, guggul can be used for a variety of things.

One major benefit that citizens of Western countries can benefit from is guggul’s ability to fight against atherosclerosis—the hardening of the arterial walls. The buildup of plaque is the primary causes of atherosclerosis. Plaque buildup is caused by lack of exercise, high cholesterol, and a poor diet.

Unsurprisingly, guggul is a great nutraceutical to help combat atherosclerosis since it works against the very things that cause it. This study demonstrates that a combination of atorvastatin and guggul were responsible for moving towards a more favorable lipid profile.

Why is Guggul Good for Athletic Performance?

We exercise for many reasons, but the two primary reasons most people have are to both improve appearance and improve health. Being a good athlete rests on being able to endure difficult training and perform at a high level, but it also equally if not more depends on how well you can recover.

If your body is perpetually stuck with a high inflammation response then it will ultiamtely lead to subpar recovery and a general sense of fatigue and unwellness. Guggul-based nutraceuticals such as GlucodOX are phenomenal at helping reduce inflammation in the body alongside healthier lifestyle changes

Some lifestyle tips that will help give athletes the best foundation for the extra advantage that a nutraceutical will bring are as follows:

  • Sleep. Many people skirt by on 6-6.5 hours of sleep but in truth it’s not enough. Especially for athletic performance which requires not just strength but fine motor control, sleeping 7-9 hours a night can go a long way in reducing the chances of injury due to coordination failure.
  • Eat a nutritious diet full of fruits and vegetables. Exercise is taxing on the system, if you are perpetually starved for calories or micronutrients, it will manifest as a persistent inflammatory response in your body.
  • Sleep is important, but so are scheduled rest days. It’s important to let your muscles and tendons get a break from the constant exercise.

How does guggul come into play with all of this? GlucodOX—Nutent Therapeutics’ guggul-based nutraceutical features all of the health benefits that guggul provides while also adding our own proprietary blend that results in an increased AMPK activation response.

AMPK is the master switch for cellular energy and metabolism. In this widely cited paper about AMPK, Richter and Ruderman state that AMPK, when activated, stimulates energy-generating processes such as glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation while also decreasing energy-consuming processes such as protein and lipid synthesis. It is well known that exercise activates AMPK and has been shown to improve the metabolic profile of rodents that had metabolic syndrome.

It’s not a stretch to say that AMPK activation is then an important factor not only for athletes but also for the metabolic health of ordinary individuals.
