What is Cissus Quadrangularis?

Cissus Quadrangularis is an all-natural herbal supplement that has been used for medicinal purposes for hundreds upon hundreds of years, particularly in Indian medicine. It is actually a vine found in Asia and parts of Africa, and provides countless medicinal benefits for the human body. It is a member of the grape family, and is even sometimes known as devil’s backbone, or veldt grape. As this vine has been found to be so healthy and beneficial, Cissus Quadrangularis is now available in supplement form, and is proving to be very popular. It is renowned for its ability to help bones and injuries to heal quicker, plus it can assist with weight loss, and can help regulate blood sugar levels.

How does it work?

Cissus works in a number of ways, depending on what you’re using the supplement for. As mentioned, as it functions as a potent and powerful weight loss supplement, it functions by helping to suppress the appetite, helping to keep us feeling full for longer, and helping us to consume less calories than normal. This is because it is rich in HCA, which helps to inhibit ATP citrate lyase, which is an enzyme that helps to convert carbohydrates into fat. As the enzyme is blocked, this in turn helps to prevent carbohydrates being converted into body fat. It is also why Cissus is considered so beneficial for helping to regulate blood sugar levels. In terms of joint health, Cissus is beneficial as it provides anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce inflammation on and around the joints, making it great for arthritis. It is also naturally rich in antioxidants and other nutrients that boost the immune system, making it great for general health and well-being.

Weight loss

The carbs are used as energy instead of being stored as body fat, and as you feel full quicker and have less appetite, you will consume less calories.
