Guggul

[Guest guest]

Well would you believe it, I finally received my supplements today to find

that they have changed the formula. These contain ingredients that are not

good for anyone who has heart/hbp problems (one ingredient contained caffiene

a definite no-no) so they have had to go back.

 

I am now trying to source others, guggul reduces cholesterol which can't be

bad so I really do want to try them.

 

Will keep you updated.

Thanks for that I now know that all my weight is white fat and believe me

there is a lot of it <grin>

 

I read the sites and they did make interesting reading however, I have hbp

and caffeine is a definite no-no for me, I do not have any caffeine

whatsoever and have not done so for approximately 1 year - even a small

amount would now have me climbing the walls and sleep would not be something

to contemplate for 24 hours. The warning on the supplements actually said

" do not take if you have hbp, heart trouble or thyroid disease " ?? As it is

called Thyro-Tek, it was a bit of a surprise to read that warning really.

The distributor that I purchased from rang the US where the manufacturers are

based and they are now concerned that the wrong label is on the product. I

think that i will give it a total miss now anyway as i have found another one

called Thyro Max - hopefully that will arrive on Saturday and I get my

thyroid activated. I am not using this supplement as a weight loss aid, if

my thyroid works I won't need that if I eat a good healthy diet - mind you

that is a big IF.

 

If you read this site, you will find out what caffeine does to you and why

people with hbp should not have it.

A small amount of caffeine might not be so bad. It increases the

thermogenesis

factor that causes brown fat to burn white fat as energy.

 

Generally, I am caffeine free except for the small amount in black tea

with lemon juice and lemon oil.

 

I can dig up more info on this if you want, but you seem to be one of the

research experts on the list. <grin>

 

Here are some links. But.... I read all about this in a book I have.
