Science & Research
A targeted cardiovascular lipid-management formula combining three botanicals with complementary hypolipidemic mechanisms. Guggulsterones (Z and E isomers) act as farnesoid X receptor (FXR) antagonists, upregulating bile salt export pump (BSEP) expression and increasing hepatic LDL receptor density, promoting LDL-C clearance. Terminalia arjuna bark provides arjunolic acid and arjunic acid with demonstrated cardiotonic properties including positive inotropic action, coronary vasodilation, and endothelial function improvement. Allium sativum's allicin and S-allyl cysteine inhibit HMG-CoA reductase and reduce platelet aggregation. This multi-target approach addresses dyslipidemia through hepatic, vascular, and platelet-mediated pathways.
Clinical Key Functions
- Coronary artery vasodilation and endothelial function improvement*
- Platelet aggregation inhibition reducing thrombotic risk*
- Hepatic cholesterol metabolism optimization through bile acid modulation*

Ayurvedic Philosophy
In Ayurvedic pathology, dyslipidemia corresponds to Medoroga (disorders of fat tissue) arising from Medo-Dhatwagnimandya (impaired fat tissue metabolism). When Medo Dhatu Agni is diminished, incomplete metabolic transformation produces Ama (metabolic toxins) that circulate as Sama Meda (toxin-laden fat) — conceptually paralleling oxidized LDL in modern understanding. The treatment follows Lekhana (scraping/reducing) and Medohara (fat-dissolving) strategies. Guggulu is the preeminent Lekhana Dravya, described in the Sushruta Samhita as capable of 'scraping' accumulated Meda from Srotas (channels). Arjuna's Hridya (cardiac tonic) action addresses the Hridaya (heart) directly, while Lasuna (garlic) is classified as Hridya and Vatahara in the Bhavaprakasha.
