What is it ?
Cissus quadrangularis is an ancient medicinal plant native to
the hotter parts of Ceylon and India. It was prescribed in the ancient
Ayurvedic texts as a general tonic and analgesic, with specific bone
fracture healing properties. Modern research has shed light on Cissus'
ability to speed bone healing by showing it acts as a glucocorticoid
antagonist. Since anabolic/androgenic compounds are well known to act
as antagonists to the glucocorticoid receptor as well as promote bone
growth and fracture healing, it has been postulated that Cissus
possesses anabolic and/or androgenic properties. In addition to
speeding the remodeling process of the healing bone, Cissus also leads
to a much faster increase in bone tensile strength. In clinical trials
Cissus has led to a fracture healing time on the order of 55 to 33
percent of that of controls. That cissus exerts antiglucocorticoid
properties is suggested by a number of studies where bones were weakend
by treatment with cortisol, and upon administration of Cissus extract
the cortisol induced weakening was halted, and the healing process
begun.
While the increased rate of bone healing may be of great significance
to persons suffering from chronic diseases like osteoporosis, the
antiglucocorticoid properties of Cissus are likely of much more
interest to the average bodybuilder or athlete, since endogenous
glucocorticoids, particularly cortisol, are not only catabolic to bone,
but catabolize muscle tissue as well. Numerous studies over the years
have suggested that glucorticoids, including the body's endogenous
hormone cortisol activate pathways that degrade not only bone, but
skeletal muscle tissue as well. A recently published report documented
exactly how glucocorticoids (including cortisol) induce muscle
breakdown: They activate the so-called ubiquitin-proteasome pathway of
proteolysis. This pathway of tissue breakdown is important for removing
damaged and non-functional proteins. However, when it is overactive
during periods of elevated cortisol (e.g disease states, stress, and
over-training) excess amounts of normal tissue are broken down as well.
By exerting an anabolic, antiglucorticoid effect cissus helps preserve
muscle tissue during times of physical and emotional stress.
Although the bulk of the research on Cissus centers around bone
healing, the possibility exists that Cissus may act to improve bone
healing it may improve the healing rate of connective tissue in
general, including tendons. If this is the case it would be of great
benefit to bodybuilders and athletes.
Besides the above-mentioned properties of Cissus, the plant is also
rich in the vitamins/antioxidants vitamin C and beta-carotene. As
analyzed, Cissus quadrangularis contained ascorbic acid 479 mg, and
carotene 267 units per 100g of freshly prepared paste in addition to
calcium oxalate.
DOSE
The typical recommended daily dosage of Cissus is 3 to 6 grams to
accelerate fracture healing. Safety studies in rats showed no toxic
effects at dosages as high as 2000 mg/kg of body weight. So not only is
Cissus efficacious, it is quite safe, in either the dried powder form
or the commercially available extract.
Cissus also possess analgesic properties on a mg per mg basis
comparable to aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. Cissus
quadrangularis, which has been proved to be highly effective in
relieving pain, reduction of swelling and promoting the process of
healing of the simple fractures as well as in curing the allied
disorders associated with fractures. The mechanism through which Cissus
exerts its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties has not been well
characterized. It may act centrally, but the anti-inflammatory features
suggest that it acts by preventing the conversion of arachidonic acid
to inflammatory prostaglandins.
Real World Application for injuries
Simply if your suffering from Joint pain, Ligament pain, cartilage
pain, had surgery on bone, ligament or cartilage, Cissus is the
supplement to use. It has been my experience that many grapplers take
anti-inflammatory medications to fight through the pain. Ultimately,
these medications only kill the sensation of pain not the symptom.
Cissus has the ability to kill the pain specific to the injury while
promoting healing.
Some users will get instant relief and other will need to use Cissus
for much longer period of time for complete healing of an injury.
Leverage performance science is not claiming that Cissus will work 100%
percent of the time that would be a foolish claim. We have estimated
that 85% of user experience relief from our product. This number may
lower or rise as more consumers send in reports. In the PHARMACUETICAL
industry a 50% success rate is good. Since we talking about the
Pharmaceutical industry, they have yet to produce a product that helps
the healing process. They just develop pain medications that are often
addicting.
THE OTHER SIDE
EFFECT IS ANABOLIC!
Cissus is anabolic and anti-catabolic!!! Cissus users report a "PUMP"
that we call the Cissus pump. The PUMP effect becomes prevalent at
approximately 10-15 days of continous Cissus use. The "PUMP" is due to
the increase of blood flow to the muscle. The Cissus pump will have you
flexing your muscle for no apparent reason. This is when you know the
product has exerted its effect.
Cissus is a powerful natural anabolic; if not the most powerful natural
anabolic on the market. Why would a grappler need it? An Anabolic and
anti-catabolic substance allows for faster recovery from exercise, from
injury, increase in muscle strength, and stamina. In short, you will be
able to train longer and recover faster without the negative effects of
anabolic steroids.
Cissus is also an ideal product to use in conjuntion with cAMPED for
dropping weight. Imagine decreasing bodyfat while simultaneously
retaining your strength and preserving muscle mass while on a calorie
restricted diet! The combined effects of Cissus and cAMPED become a
powerful tool for any competive grappler!
WARNING
If using Cissus to heal injury related pain, you may experience instant
relief due to its analgesic (pain killing) effect . This does not mean
the injury has completely healed! Please continue your training regimen
with extra caution until full recovery has been achieved. On the
contrary, if using Cissus primarily for its Anabolic properties your
training program should be continued with maximum intensity to reap the
full benefits of this product.
