The scientific evidence supporting the use of cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. for bone and metabolic health continues to shine. Cissus quadrangularis is a traditional ayurvedic System of traditional medicine native to India and South Asia. It is considered a form of CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) compared to traditional Western medicine. Uses many different herbs, massage, yoga and moderation of various lifestyle components to keep things in balance for treatment of health conditions. Deepak Chopra is a very popular author and proponent of Aruvedic Medicine. herb in use for more than one thousand years. Its nickname is “bone setter.” I have explained how cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. helps bones in two previous articles, Cissus Quadrangularis – A Potent Bone Builder and Cissus Quadrangularis: Linking Bones & Metabolic Health. The newest study on cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. and bones shows that cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. works at the level of gene transcription to turn on osteoblasts and to specifically boost their production of osteocalcin Hormone secreted by osteoblasts for the bone formation process. It is also involved with pancreatic and insulin function and adiponectin secretion.1. This is a powerful finding as it means that the nutrient is a bone-building gene regulator – elevating it to a new status of usefulness. Additionally, osteocalcin Hormone secreted by osteoblasts for the bone formation process. It is also involved with pancreatic and insulin function and adiponectin secretion.2 acts as a hormone elsewhere in your body by boosting adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. 3 production in your white adipose tissue, in turn helping to protect against insulin resistance and inflammation in your cardiovascular system4. Additional interest in cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. and metabolism centers around its historical use for hemorrhoids, ulcers, asthma, and constipation – all important issues that are associated with bacterial imbalance in the digestive tract. I have explained the additional adverse effect of these factors on metabolism in my recent article, How Digestive Problems Prevent Weight Loss. New science supports the traditional use of cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. to help heal the lining of the digestive tract, reduce inflammation and enhance antioxidant defenses, and help control bacterial imbalance. Cissus quadrangularis has previously been shown to have antibacterial properties5, including against the Staphylococcus family that is typically in excess in overweight people. One of the problems of metabolism caused by bacterial imbalance is the over production of toxic LPS, which interferes with metabolism. Cissus quadrangularis also helps lower LPS-induced free radical damage6 – demonstrating help in protecting against this common problem in overweight people. It did this by helping to lower inflammatory nitric oxide (iNOS Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase. This enzyme influences genes located in the neuro-immune and cardiovascular system and provides immune defense against pathogens and contributes to disease progression including neurogenic inflammation (iNOS2). ) and the core inflammatory gene signal NF-kappaB Protein complex that controls DNA transcription and is involved with cellular responses to stress, cytokines, free radicals, UV radiation, oxidized LDL, and infections. . Another recent study showed that cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. was highly protective to the liver7, offsetting the toxic effects of a TB drug by drastically reducing free radical damage in the liver. This is relevant to weight management as the liver is often subjected to inflammatory and free radical producing insults coming from both the digestive tract and white adipose tissue. Thus, by a variety of mechanisms cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. helps offset the metabolic stress associated with gut imbalance. The new science helps confirm the value of cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. as a helpful bone support nutrient. It expands on its role for metabolic support. Not only does cissus quadrangularis Nutrient found in woody vines from the grape family. It has been shown to be beneficial in bone and cartilage health along with lipid metabolism and oxidative stress support. help improve metabolism via osteocalcin Hormone secreted by osteoblasts for the bone formation process. It is also involved with pancreatic and insulin function and adiponectin secretion. boosting adiponectin Protein hormone that modulates metabolism including glucose and fatty acid catabolism. High levels are associated with low body fat. production, but it can also help with toxic stress from digestive tract imbalance – a common problem faced by many who are struggling with their weight.
