Q. Is Guggul safe to take with pharmaceutical medication?

A- Holistic Essentials' Guggul is essentially a whole herb source of nutrients or other substances with a possible nutritional or physiological result.
Like food, our herbs are generally safe to use with pharmaceutical medication. We suggest that consuming herbs be done as advised and at apart from prescribed medication.
If you are currently prescribed pharmaceutical drugs for blood-thinning, epilepsy or psychosis, immune suppression (e.g. anti-HIV or after transplants), or for any life-threatening condition, we suggest you consult the advice of your healthcare professional or the advice of an Ayurvedic Practitioner before taking whole herbs for nutrition.

Q. Is Guggul safe for a child to take?

A- Whilst herbs are natural and safe, as a precautionary measure we recommend that only those over the age of 16 take the adult dosage recommended on our products, unless told otherwise by a practitioner or a child's dosage as advised by an Ayurvedic Practitioner. 

Q. Does Guggul have any side effects?

A- Our organic Guggul whole herb capsules and powders are rigorously tested. Due to this professional testing generally there are no side effects associated with our food products, capsules and herbs.  As with any consumable, reactions and intolerances are always possible.

Q. Why is there a silica sachet in my bottle of Guggul?

A- We use silica sachets in some of our capsule products to prevent moisture from compromising the herbs. The silica sachet is completely safe for use in food products and should remain in the jar to prevent moisture. The contents of the sachet should not be consumed and disposed of appropriately once the bottle is empty.
