*Other research shows that guggul extract may help reduce symptoms of [[osteoarthritis (OA)]] of the knee.
* Weight loss. There is some clinical evidence that guggul in combination with phosphate, hydroxycitric acid, and L-tyrosine plus exercise and a low-calorie diet might result in modest weight loss. However, a separate study of a standardized guggul extract generally used for lowering cholesterol found that doses of 3000 or 6000 mg daily for 8 weeks had no effect on body weight.
* Cancer : Preliminary research suggests that guggul extract may help fight tumors. One 2007 study on human cells found that guggulsterone (a compound found in guggul) induced the death of [[Prostate Cancer]] cells, while a 2008 report revealed that guggulsterone thwarted the growth of skin tumors in mice. Guggulsterone is confirmed to be a cancer stem cell killer. Cancer stem cells are largely responsible for the failure of conventional cancer treatment.
