Myrrh is also called guggulipid. Guggul is the extract of the gum resin of the Commiphora mukul tree that is native to India, Africa, and Arabia.
The nutrient has been around for centuries. In ancient Rome, myrrh was used during funerals to cover the smell of burning corpses. At one point in time, myrrh was worth much more than frankincense. Myrrh was one of the gifts from the Magi to the Christ Child. Later after His crucifixion that same myrrh was used to anoint his body for burial.
In modern times, myrrh is used in all kinds of products. It is found in incense, perfumes, toothpastes, and lotions. It is also used in other modern toiletries.
The quality of the herb is recognized by the darkness and the clarity, as well as the stickiness of the resin oil. Guggulsterones can slow down the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and may have antioxidant effects on lipids. It may also stimulate the thyroid.

Our Tip on Choosing an N-Acetylcysteine Product
Nutritional supplements in the U.S. and other countries in the world are largely unregulated, and many companies, both government and private have shown that consumers of nutritional supplements have only a 1 in 5 chance of purchasing a supplement that actually contains the amount of ingredients stated on the product label, or worse yet, a supplement that is not contaminated with dangerous toxins that could eventually impair your health.
For the above reason, we strongly suggest that you buy your supplements from pharmaceutical GMP compliant facilities, such places adhere to the most exacting manufacturing standards. If you do what we have suggested, you can be sure you are getting the amount of Myrrh you purchased, and one that is not contaminated with harmful toxins.
