Guggul is one of the most distinctive ingredients in IQed. Rather than a fruit, seed, or leaf, guggul is an aromatic resin obtained from the Commiphora mukul tree and has been used in Ayurvedic tradition for centuries.

The resin naturally contains a complex mixture of plant compounds, including phytosterols and compounds known as guggulsterones. Its unusual botanical origin and long traditional history have made guggul an ongoing subject of scientific study and interest.

IQed includes guggul as part of its proprietary botanical blend because the formula was designed to draw from a broad range of traditional plant foods and botanicals rather than relying on one trendy ingredient. It is another example of the depth and diversity built into IQed.
