Triphala Guggul – Support Weight Management & Digestion
Posted on 8th Aug 2012
Triphala Guggul is a classic Ayurvedic formulation that we are pleased to be able to provide to you in Supercritical (Co2) form. Both are popular herbs found primarily in India, but they have been used in the United States and Europe as well, as a natural remedy for several conditions. This premier formula combines the antioxidant and digestive support of Triphala with the cholesterol and metabolism support of Guggul. Triphala – Guggul has been proven to help maintain healthy weight control, cholesterol levels, proper digestion and food absorption, metabolism, keeping the arteries clear, and overall as a natural health tonic. This herbal combination is extremely cleansing for the body and can help rid the body of many deep-seated toxins that are buried in the body’s soft tissues.
Toxins can accumulate in and around your joints, causing joint pain, arthritis, muscle aches, and rheumatism. Components of triphala guggul may be able to bind to these toxins and remove them through your blood stream. The process of removing toxins from around your body’s major joints may also help reduce joint inflammation, or swelling, that can cause discomfort or pain.
Triphala guggul has been reported to help your body maintain healthy levels of both good and bad cholesterol. High or unbalanced cholesterol levels can increase your risk for developing heart disease. Good cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein, may be elevated with the regular supplementation of this herbal extract. Bad cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein, may be lowered with supplementation. This may also lower your blood pressure and hypertension, which reduces the risk of heart disease. The triphala and guggul combination has been used in India as a digestive aid for centuries. Compounds in the resin extract may strengthen your digestive system by increasing the amount of hydrochloric acid and other enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown of food in your stomach. The formula may also improve absorption of nutrients by acting on the enzymes found in your intestinal tract.
When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, triphala guggul may be used as an ergogenic aid to help support weight loss. A compound in triphala guggul, called ushan virya, may stimulate the mobilization of fat that is stored throughout your body. Moving free fatty acids from fat tissue cells to muscle cells for energy increases your fat-burning potential, particularly if you exercise regularly.
Triphala is composed of three herbs: Haritaki, Bibhitaki and Amalaki. Amla helps to maintain healthy cells in the intestinal wall, and the fruit contains the highest natural known source of vitamin C. It is said to have 20 times the vitamin C content of an orange. Bibhitaki acts to promote healthy mucus levels. The last is Haritaki, which acts as a bowel toner, rather than a laxative. These three herbs work in consort to gently promote internal cleansing of all conditions of stagnation and excess, while at the same time, they aid in healthy digestion and assimilation of food.
Tattva’s Herbs’ natural supplements combine the wisdom of Mother Nature with the very latest technology known as supercritical extraction. This state of the art technology delivers a very pure extract that is both full spectrum and extremely concentrated at the same time. It is so pure that you can actually smell the qualities of the original herb in the extract, and you are greeted with this aroma when you open a bottle. It is sweet and powerful. There is simply no other extraction method so effective that you can actually smell the purity, fragrance and essence of the herb. This is a testimony to the great care that goes into the selection of the herbs and the supercritical extraction process itself. To give you an idea of the potency and concentration of the extract, we can often use as much as 200 to 250 pounds of fresh herbs to produce just one pound of supercritical extract.
All of the herbs are grown on organic farms and selected with the greatest of care. The supercritical process produces an exceptionally broad representation of the herbs’ active constituents, which oftentimes traditional methods of extraction cannot even begin to extract. Furthermore, the supercritical process does not use any chemical solvents at all. Instead, it utilizes safe and environmentally friendly carbon dioxide, the same carbon dioxide that is found in your sparkling water.
Finally, the supercritical extract, post-supercritical extract (PSE) (a water-soluble extract), and the raw whole herb are combined to create our herbal formula. The finished product is superior in terms of both freshness and breadth of active constituents. It delivers the full spectrum of the herbs with a potency that cannot be surpassed. In addition, all of the herbs are independently tested for heavy metals and other contaminates. The result is an exquisite formula that delivers simplicity, purity and incredible potency all at once.
