The short answer
Rasnadi Guggulu is a guggulu tablet sold in India, for example by Baidyanath. We did not find it in Parts I and II of the Ayurvedic Formulary of India, and its recipe is being checked against the printed Part III, so this page does not yet list ingredients or classical uses. We found no study of it in people. The one study we found is a 2026 lab experiment in cells, done as osteoarthritis research.
That study treats it as a formulation of guggul (Commiphora wightii). Guggulu has its own interaction pages; in one small study a guggulu extract lowered levels of propranolol and diltiazem. Until the recipe is confirmed, read the label on your pack, and tell your doctor you take it, especially if you are on a heart or blood pressure medicine such as propranolol or diltiazem, or a blood thinner.
What is in it
The official recipe is being checked against the printed formulary, so no ingredient list is shown yet. Baidyanath's listing gives Yog Ratnakar as its reference text, which we have not yet checked. Recipes can differ between makers, so read the label.
What it is used for
- The formulary's list of uses has not yet been checked. A 2026 lab paper names it as one of the guggul formulations that people with osteoarthritis turn to.[2]
What the evidence says
In vitroResearchers treated a monocyte cell line (U937), a type of white blood cell grown in the lab, with extracts of Rasnadi Guggul, Amritadi Guggul and a guggulsterone extract. All three lowered markers of inflammation and slowed an enzyme that breaks down collagen. Lab findings like this show a possible way it could act. They do not show that the tablet helps joints in people.[2]
Safety notes
- Described as a guggul formulation. Guggulu has its own pages: Guggulu and blood thinners, Guggulu and thyroid medicines, and Guggulu and statins.[2]
- In a small study of healthy men, one dose of gugulipid, a guggulu extract, lowered blood levels of propranolol and diltiazem, which could weaken them. That tested the extract, not this tablet. See Guggulu with propranolol or diltiazem.[3]
- We found no study that reports side effects in people. That is a gap in the evidence, not a sign that there are none.
- Until the official recipe is checked, the label of your pack is the only guide to what is in it.[1]

Questions people ask
What are the ingredients of Rasnadi Guggulu?
We have not yet been able to check the official recipe in print, so we do not list one. The ingredients printed on your pack are the best guide for now, and they can differ between makers.[1]

Guggulu and blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel)
Lab studies suggest guggul speeds up a liver enzyme that helps clear warfarin. Which way the INR would move is not known, and no study tested the pair.
InteractionGuggulu and thyroid medicine (levothyroxine)
Guggul raised thyroid hormone in mice. The one human trial in people on levothyroxine used a multi-herb tablet and cannot show guggul's own effect.
FormulationYogaraja Guggulu
A guggulu tablet for joints and amavata. A large Indian study saw knee pain fall, but it had no comparison group and used three medicines together.
ConditionOsteoarthritis and knee pain: what Ayurveda offers
One boswellia extract and two Indian formulations eased knee pain in trials. The evidence is uneven, and one trial found raised liver enzymes.
