Cissus Quadrangularis Super Extract, 150 Capsules (Non-GMO, Gluten Free) Dietary Supplement for Joint and Tendon Health, 1000mg Serving Size

Excellent product. I had been suffering from tendonitis in my elbow and another condition called cubital tunnel syndrome for months. I had tried OTC things like Advil, with little relief. I saw my doctor and received a steroid injection in my elbow, and later a round of Prednisone, both of which only provided temporary relief. I remembered hearing guys at the gym talking about Cissus and gave this a try....after taking this product twice daily for several days, there was noticeable improvement. After a couple of weeks, the pain was completely gone. Highly recommend!

I chose this product by reading reviews, and because it is very affordable compared to some of the others out there. I am now on my third bottle, and I will tell you that this stuff really works. I mostly bought it for weight management, but I have also noticed that my joints aren’t bothering me anymore. I only had minor joint aches but they were getting worse as I got older, and this seems to have slowed or even stopped that progress. As far as weight management goes, I take one in the morning before breakfast and one around 5 o’clock and it decreases my appetite substantially. I have read it has a gelatenous quality that expands in your stomach, so after I take it I don’t feel hungry at all, and I find that I eat less without really trying. There is no miracle to it other than that because frankly you have to eat less in order to lose weight! I still watch what I eat and eat tons of veggies, fruit, lean proteins and I watch the carbs, but this just makes it easier to eat reasonable portions. I have always eaten a healthy diet but just couldn’t lose that annoying 10 pounds that I had slowly gained in my 40’s. Once I started taking this product, I was able to slowly lose it over a period of a few months without suffering (!), and I’m now maintaining it. I was not discouraged by the fact that the weight-loss was slow, because I am in my early 50s so ANY progress is awesome, but also because when you lose it slowly it is so much easier to maintain that loss. When I stop taking it, it is harder to eat the smaller portions that I can eat (without much effort) while on it. I will emphasize again, that you can’t eat a terrible diet full of processed high calorie foods and sweets and expect to lose weight even while you’re taking this, but if you’re committed to a reasonably healthy diet, this stuff really helps, and that extra help made all the difference for me! Also if you are younger with a higher metabolism I would expect your results could be faster.

I've had every body pain you can think of so I rely heavily on supplements. For my joints, I took glucosamine and chondroitin for over 4 years. It helps somewhat but my pain is still there. Before I took that I was taking Super Cissus by USP Labs which did wonders. Since it was pretty pricey I decided to switch but it crossed my mind about a month ago so I wanted to start taking that again. However no matter where I went I couldn't find it. I can't find it in any stores, it's not on Amazon, and I see it on shady looking websites that I don't trust. I decided to do some research and realized the only ingredient in Super Cissus was 1600 mg of cissus quadrangularis so I decided to give this a try.After a month I am satisfied with this. It isn't as good as Super Cissus but it's a solid replacement. The main difference between the two is two pills of Super Cissus is 1600 mg while the Cissus Extract is only 1000mg. This doesn't seem that big of a difference but I take 2 servings so Super Cissus was 3200mg while Cissus Extract is 2000 mg. I'm sure if I took 3 servings of Cissus Extract it would be just as good but that means it will last me about 18 days which isn't worth it. Just taking 2000mg I do feel like it's still more effective than glucosamine. I still have some pain and I know supplements isn't going to cure this pain so I am satisfied with how much better my body feels. The only recommendation I would say is to up the dosage amount in two pills.

I don’t usually write reviews but I’d like to say this supplement has really helped me out. I broke my arm in December and found this supplement recommended in a blog and thought “why not?”. I’ve been taking this for about 2 1/2 months now and would like to credit a fast recovery from my humerus fracture as well as some surprising weight loss. I gained 20lbs after starting a medication and couldn’t seem to lose the weight. I hardly exercised for 2 months after I broke my arm but I’m somehow 10lbs down from where I was in December. Could be partially muscle loss but I’d like to say the supplement keeps me from overeating. Placebo/environmental or not, I’d like to credit the supplement! I will continue taking this.

I didn't really get a chance to test the fullness of the product, but i did initially notice a difference in my tendonitis, but I started getting a dull pain in my right shoulder. It felt like gas or something. I tried it on 2 different occasions to test my theory of the dull pain and both times it happened. I really wish i could have kept taking it because i believe it does work. I also incorporated a low carb diet and within 2 months, my tendonitis was gone. Low carb reduces inflammation in the body.
