About

Description

Information provided by the manufacturer, INNO Health & Care

Cissus first drew attention for its notable support for metabolic balance, which is closely linked to weight gain. An unbalanced metabolism often leads to excess weight; when cissus helps manage appetite and blood sugar, metabolic balance may improve, supporting weight management — particularly around the waistline.
One of the most popular new weight-management aids, cissus does more than curb appetite: it is a gentle botanical that supports metabolic balance, one of the root factors behind weight gain, for a more fundamental approach to weight management.

Highlights of Cissus Quadrangularis 15000 120 Vege Capsules

Support for weight management and metabolic balance

An unbalanced metabolism is a direct path to weight gain. When metabolic balance is off, weight tends to increase, particularly as fat builds up around the abdomen; a lot of abdominal fat is often a sign of metabolic imbalance. Cissus is a botanical noted for supporting metabolic balance — it may help limit the conversion of carbohydrates into fat and reduce fat absorption.
An unbalanced metabolism can also make it harder to feel full, leading to overeating. Cissus may stimulate leptin, the hormone that signals fullness, helping to manage appetite and curb excessive food intake.
In one study of 123 people taking 1,028mg of concentrated cissus daily alongside supplements such as green tea, selenium and chromium, participants saw significant reductions in body weight and abdominal fat regardless of diet. Beyond weight, fasting blood sugar, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels also improved.
In another 10-week study, 72 people took 300mg of concentrated cissus daily and saw improvements in body weight, body fat, waist circumference, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, with notable support for their weight-management efforts.

CARNA Wellness Guide

“A brief pause before your biggest meals — and one capsule in that moment.”

CARNA on Cissus — a quiet preparation for your heavier meals

Cissus is a climbing vine of the grape family long used across Asia and Africa, and each capsule contains the equivalent of 15,000mg of cissus. The raw material also carries plant-derived compounds such as vitamin C, carotenoids, tannins and phenols. The manufacturer recommends taking it before your two largest meals of the day, starting with one capsule a day for the first week to let your body adjust.

It suits those whose CARNA Energy & Metabolism index — especially post-meal condition — came out lower than hoped. If you are managing your weight or also want to look after your Bone & Joint index, use it as a prompt to tidy up your eating habits.

What it is

Cissus is a climbing plant of the grape family native to India, Southeast Asia and Africa, traditionally called the 'bone-setter' because of the shape of its stem. Its stem and leaf extracts contain polyphenols such as quercetin and resveratrol, phytosterols, vitamin C and calcium.

How it works

The polyphenols and sterols in cissus act as antioxidants, and animal and cell studies have observed effects on osteoblast differentiation signals and bone metabolism markers. For weight management, studies have looked at inhibition of fat-digesting (lipase) and carbohydrate-digesting enzyme activity, and changes in adipose tissue hormone markers such as leptin and adiponectin. However, human studies are still few and small, so interpretation requires caution.

What studies report

A meta-analysis of 7 randomised controlled studies (354 participants) found that cissus was associated with increased blood parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, but not with significant changes in other bone-related markers such as calcium, phosphorus or alkaline phosphatase; the certainty of evidence was rated very low.
In an 8-week double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 67 overweight adults, the group taking 300 mg/day of cissus extract (CQR-300) showed lower body fat percentage (measured by bioelectrical impedance and DEXA), waist and hip circumference, blood lipids and fasting glucose, and higher adiponectin, versus placebo.
In an 8-week randomised, double-blind study of 123 overweight adults with high body mass index, the group taking a multi-ingredient blend containing cissus showed reductions in body weight, waist circumference, blood lipids and CRP regardless of dietary control (as a combination formula, the results are difficult to attribute to cissus alone).

How to take

Manufacturer’s recommendation · adjust to suit you

Take 1 capsule 30 minutes before each of your two largest meals, for 2 capsules a day. For example, if you eat a light breakfast and larger lunches and dinners, take 1 capsule 30 minutes before lunch and 1 capsule 30 minutes before dinner, for 2 capsules a day.

However, rather than starting with 2 capsules right away, it is best to take 1 capsule a day for about a week before adding a second.

Notice

Cautions & shipping

Please check before buying

Over more than 30 years of research and clinical trials, cissus has been shown to be a safe ingredient that does not cause the drowsiness, nausea or increased heart rate commonly seen with other weight-management products. However, it has not been clinically tested in breastfeeding or pregnant women, so they should not take it.
