Xtend-Life Ingredient Mukul Gum

Mukul Gum Background and Benefits

Commiphora wightii is a flowering plant in the Burseraceae family, which is commonly known as the Torchwood family. Common names for Commiphora wightii include Mukul myrrh, guggul and Indian bdellium-tree. Mukul myrrh is closely related to Common myrrh, which is the primary source of true myrrh.

Mukul myrrh originates from northern India, although its natural range extends from central Asia to northern Africa. Mukul myrrh grows best in arid climates and has a high tolerance for poor soil. It is a small tree that can reach a height of 13 feet, with ovate leaves that can grow to a length of two inches. Mukul myrrh is gynodioecious, meaning that plants either bisexual flowers or female flowers. The flowers are red or pink, and the small berries become red when fully ripe.

The most commercially significant part of the Mukul myrrh tree is its resin, known as Mukul gum. Extracts of this gum have been used in the Ayurvedic system of traditional medicine in India for almost 3,000 years. The most common uses of Mukul gum in Ayurveda include weight management and relief from joint discomfort.

The main active ingredient in Mukul is guggulsterone, which is a steroid structurally similar to cholesterol. Guggulsterone’s primary biochemical action is to act as an antagonist for the farnesoid X receptor, which is involved with cholesterol synthesis in the liver.

Uses of Mukul Gum

The maintenance of skin health is one of the most common uses of Mukul gum in modern herbal medicine. It is also used to maintain a healthy weight, digestive system and healthy cholesterol profile.

Signs You May Need Mukul Gum

Acne is one of the most common signs that you may need Mukul gum, especially when it is characterized by frequent outbreaks. Joint discomfort is also an indication that you may benefit from Mukul gum.

Stomach cramps are one of the most significant signs that Mukul gum can help you, especially if these cramps are caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS). Additional indications that you may need Mukul gum include an unhealthy weight or cholesterol profile.
