Guggulipid - According to Berkeley Wellness (University of CA) it has potential in reducing cholesterol, but their statement about thyroid function is quite different -
Quote:
Pregnant women and people with thyroid disorders, as well as those on medications such as calcium channel blockers, should not take guggulipid, nor should women with menstrual problems. Possible side effects include excessive menstrual bleeding. Digestive disorders, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, have also been reported.
I wonder why the company is claiming it can regulate thyroid function
The pill is loaded with stimulants. Yerba mate, guarana, and green tea are sources of caffeine. Advantra Z® (10 % synephrine) is bitter orange, a strong stimulant that works like ephedra in the body and is on the Consumer Reports dirty dozen list of most dangerous supplements. Dandelion is a diuretic, so maybe if you pee off a pound you'll think you lost weight. Calcium has been shown to be helpful in weight loss when from dairy sources, not supplements.
I'm totally confused how any of this creates a passion pill
