User Reviews for cissus quadrangularis

No joke, for the first time in weeks, I woke up PAIN FREE! I was in an accident ~7 months ago where I was injured on one side of my body, literally from my toes to my hip (and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN); even some upper body injures too… and (when it rains it pours, I guess): to make matter worse, many UN-injured parts of my body, (from just livin' it up) had been going down the ***tubes (at the time the accident occurred). ***I'm talking (per MRI / Ultrasound – and this is just SOME of the NON-accident stuff): MCL sprain, scarring and/or degeneration of 3 ankle ligaments, and multiple tears in a shoulder (YES! I live it up and try to stay on top of things but it's hard when the body doesn't show signs)... my diet has been meticulous too (Dr. Berg's STRICT IF/Keto), and I have access to THE BEST OF THE BEST (i.e. HGH, Stem Cell Therapy from THE MOST amazing doctor who has healed me and kept me going (and feeling better than when I was a teenager!) for the past 8-9 years... NOT TO 'knock' my Doctor, Dr. Berg, the HGH or anything else (cuz as someone who's always had WAY SLOWER THAN AVERAGE healing (of tendons/ligaments), there is/was very likely a subclinical deficiency (given just HOW WELL my body has responded within the first 12-24 hrs to the Cissus). And definitely NO PLACEBO here either, folks: MANY of my joints that have been on hold for stem cell, (thanks to having to devote the past 1/2+ year to certain areas injured in the accident) have had crepitus setting in… you know, the CHRONIC joint clicking where you CANNOT MOVE thru a certain ROM without the cracking/clicking… literally after 12 hours of my first dose (1.6 grams) I woke up with crepitus GONE (or MASSIVELY REDUCED); and in areas of LINGERING pain/high grade soreness it was GONE. While this may sound miraculous, I KNOW it was the Cissus cuz I had similar results back in the early to mid 2000's when I first tried it… however, at that time, it would make me ravenous to the point where I would eat LOADS of food and gain weight crazy fast (due to the massively amount of extra calories I was consuming; hence, I could never stay on it for long). Currently, that has NOT been the case; in fact, I'm about 1 day, 4 hrs fasted (as I've been throwing in some fasting to try to help heal). I was seriously hopeless and this has given me a new lease on life!Read More Read Less

Both shoulders had pain 24/7 level 5-7. Within a week of 1600mgx2 daily, the pain has gone. I feel a twinge once in a while, but nothing like it was. I will continue to take cissus. I ordered from amazon.1600mg caps. Absonutrix brand.

I have been taking this by pure coincidence. But it works. I take 1x2 or 2x2 a day. This alteady for 6 minths and after a month I've got real improvement. No bleeding, almost gone the swelling. Have some gas production. But hey....I feel 1000% better.

this treatment very effective in bone fractures ligament injury tendons this has to be used empty stomach by boiling it in a glass of milk making it to remain acup of milk drain it and take this empty stomach in fractures for 21 days

I have been taking Cissus for about 4 years and it helped my joint point. In the morning I could barely bend over to pick up the newspaper in the morning but after a week on Cissus about 90% of the pain went away and it has stayed away. My wife started taking it about a year ago with similar results.

recovering from shoulder surgery, increased range of motion, helped in recovery and strength

I am on Warfarin for more than 10 yrs. As I am afraid of its interaction with this drug ( not available anywhere) I am afraid to use though its prescribed.

I am given Bonion of Benito Pharmaceuticals, India. The medicine is not available in Mumbai. Where can I get it?

I ordered Cissus Quadrangularis, 400 mg, from Swanson. I have NOT STARTED TAKING IT. All these reviews sound very encouraging, but no one tells us what brand they've used, and except for a couple people on very high doses, most others don't say how much they take. PLEASE HELP ME with this info!! I have osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, avasular necrosis of the ball of my humerus, the bone that inserts into the shoulder joint, and many other health issues, including bone on bone in my left knee-I've already had a knee replacement on tne right knee. What brands are you using and what doses are you taking?? Many thanks.Read More Read Less

At 74 I am still very active and lift extremely heavy for my age (500+ lbs-rack deads, 300 lbs-full squat etc.). I have recovered from 2 severely torn rotator cuff injuries in the last dozen years. Instead of my normal, daily 2 X 2 usage(1600 X 2), I switched to a month or two at 3 X 3 (2400 X 3) along with a daily megadose of Omega 3 Fish Oil. Within two weeks I would be back in the gym again, starting over with light weight, high reps. My wife and I stay at the daily maintenance dosage and just crank it up if needed. Cissus is a basic necessity for us in our natural health lifestyle. Read More Read Less

I bought mine originally for one of my old horses, so it's a bulk powder, fairly inexpensive, but great quality from a veterinary supply. The horse hates it and it's impossible to feed. So I decided to try it on myself. I'm 45 YO and extremely active but starting to struggle with weight maintenance and metabolism. I'm also sensitive to ANY kind of stimulant. On Cissus Quadrangularus I've only lost 2 lbs in 2 weeks. I'm assuming it's because of it's gelling effect making me feel less hungry before meals. Plus it works extremely well for interrupting cortisol if taken a bit before a meal. Its too early for me to tell if the weight is simply me being more aware or truly the product. What has been the most apparent result how ever is 3 day female cycles, not week long, voluminous. Women my age will understand what I mean. It's kind of like I'm 24 again in that respect. ALSO, I have chronically torn rotator cuffs in both arms and RA coming on in the shoulders knees and hands. ( my life has not been easy, nor easy on my body) I was MRI diagnosed, not self which often happens on here. The physical therapist told me at my age just keep doing what I am doing and when the tendons snap, he'll do surgery. Until then he wanted to just give me cortisone and Ketamine injections. Which I did once. Lost me insurance so I haven't had them again. On the CQ,,, In only 2 weeks my shoulders have been feeling significantly improved, as well as my knees. My hands are only marginally better. My work and two very rigorous hobbies that make it difficult to expect any miracles. If you are buying this in bulk, you'll need to buy gel caps. Or wrap it in Organic, unbleached paper(sabot). The stuff tastes horrible, but for me I am seeing results worth the hassle and I like the idea of getting it in an un-processed to make it taste good form and being able to control my own dosage.

was told in July 2014 that I would need knee surgery. as had degenerative arthritis. declined and agreed to 6 monthly reviews. at the next appointment no surgery is required, pain is reduced to minimal, as long as I take the tablets. Took these on the advice of a physiotherapist.

I take SuperCissus for osteoarthritis. I can walk again and no pain from arthritis in spine. I take recommended dose age of 2t tablets 1600 mg twice daily.

I have found my holy grail. 6mos ago I had a car accident, broke my neck and tore both rotator cuffs. On top of that, I have 3 herniated disks in my lower back which have been a MAJOR source of pain for nearly 15 years. Until about 2 mos ago I dealt with pain with narcotics or nothing at all because I can't use Nsaids due to the neck fusion. I was reading in the body building forums looking for help with tendon injuries and found many references to Cissus. I decided it was worth a try and am I glad I did. Pain in both shoulders went from an 8 pain to a two in only two days!! I was amazed. After about a week I noticed that my lower back pain was not interfering with my daily activities, limited as they where. How wonderful. I stopped using Cissus three days ago. My shoulders still feel pretty good but my lower back is raging again today. Today I started my regular Cissus dosing, 2-4 a day. I'm having shoulder surgery tomorrow. I'm in hopes the Cissus will aid in my recovery as it has other reviewers. If you have tendon or joint pain, I highly recommend giving this a try. The only thing you have to loose is ether the $30 or the pain. If it works for you, it'll be money well spent. Believe the reviewers here.Read More Read Less

I used this in Estroven Weight Management and it made me Wicked Witch of the West after a month. I got depressed, despondent, impatient, totally up-tight.

I've had worsening right shoulder and arm pain with declining range of motion and strength and difficulty sleeping for two years. Tried therapeutic exercises, glucosamine, heat and cold packs, Ibuprofen, but nothing worked. A gym trainer who used it after a serious car accident recommended cissus. I've been taking 3200 mg twice a day with meals for almost three months. Dramatic reduction in pain - I think due to less inflammation - to the point where it seemed the injury was cured unless I tried certain movements or lifting with that arm. It turns out I have a torn rotator cuff that will be surgically repaired soon (so cissus isn't a total miracle, but it sure relieved the pain). I plan to keep using cissus after the surgery and through rehab because it made such a difference. It really should be scientifically studied for anti-inflammatory use, which is a problem for many older people like myself. Read More Read Less

CFS(30 yrs) I feel more energetic, no muscular pain, have lost some weight. Started taking them six weeks ago.

hip pain laberal tear

I had really bad pain and weakness in my right elbow for well over a year.....and nothing helped it. Not heat...not ice.. not even resting it for nearly a month. I was about ready to go see a doctor because it was getting worse and the pain was getting to be unbearable. It just so happened that I started taking a supplement that included this ingredient in it... to help with muscle fatigue and muscle breakdown. I wasn't even expecting it to help with my elbow. I assumed I had a tear or tennis elbow or something like that...and figured it was gonna take a doctor to fix it. After one dose of this stuff, I felt a major improvement in my elbow. I couldn't believe it. Now it's been a couple of weeks and the pain is almost completely gone...and I work in construction every day. This stuff is amazing. To go from the amount of pain I was having for over a year....to almost no pain in only a couple of weeks... and while doing the physical work I do every day... it's remarkable. I'd call it a miracle... but people would probably think I'm exaggerating. I would highly recommend people to give this a try if they are feeling a lot of pain in their joints. If it even works half as good for you as it's worked for me, you're gonna be a much happier person.Read More Read Less
