Cissus Benefits

Yes, several studies show that cissus, specifically cissus quadrangularis, works very well in several cases, such as alleviating joint pain, bone healing, weight-loss, pain-control, and use as an antioxidant. We are looking for more human studies.

Cissus quadrangularis studies for bone fractures and joint health:

• Animal study: The findings assessed on the basis of biomechanical, biochemical and histopathological parameters showed that the ethanol extract of the plant had a definite antiosteoporotic effect.
• PDF of a Dog Study: Healing was almost complete on 21st day of fracture in the treated animals and remained incomplete in the control animals.

• Although the Cissus quadrangularis-only group showed significant reductions on all variables compared to the placebo group, the Cissus quadrangularis/Irvingia gabonensis combination resulted in even larger reductions.
• Cissus quadrangularis (300 mg daily) and a proprietary cissus formula (1028 mg daily) brought about significant reductions in weight and blood glucose levels, while decreasing serum lipids thus improving cardiovascular risk factors.

• The results of the study have implications in the use of C. quadrangularis as an antibacterial agent and more so as an antioxidant in several applications requiring these properties.

• Animal Study: The animal that administered both the doses showed significant analgesic activity.
