I had hip surgery about two years ago and I started taking bulk cissus a few days after I was released from the hospital. Without question, it speed up my recovery! Based on my talks with the doctor and from talking to others who had this type of surgery, I was probably 3 weeks ahead of schedule. It's a great supplement! I recently started taking it again, about a month ago (I have a lot of it!), and I'm down a couple of pounds, strength is up and I've lost an inch off my waist. Good luck in your recovery!

I know this is an old thread but you guys should seriously stay away from making medical claims for this product (heals joints and tendons). This is directly in violation of the DSHEA. I use Cissus myself and it does help my joints but whether it is rebuilding them or just providing pain relief is unknown.

I think the wording is not correct and should be more along the lines of 'promoting the process of healing'. I think this has been questioned before and was asked by a Mod to chnage a while ago but may have been overlooked.
I would say that Cissus does a little more than give pain relief and can also aid in the healing processes of bones and some have said in soft tissues such as tendons/ligaments too.
By delivering nutrients to soft tissue, cissus helps to increase tendon and ligament strength, and aids in healing fractures and generating new bone growth. It can also be used as a balm for people with arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Hope you are well Clay.Last edited by Mickfootie; 02-13-2009 at 05:37 AM.

I just ordered two bottles of this. I have a naggin left shoulder that gets very aggrevated during workouts and most of the day. My friend's wife is a physical therapist and she said I have some sort of "itis" whether its bursitis or some other inflamation of the joint.
I was suggested this stuff by my martial arts instructor. He is a no BS guy has black belts in seven different studies. He has been doing it for thirty years and according to him has destroyed his joints. He says this stuff makes him feel like a young man. He said he depends on it now. Pretty convincing for me. I will report on my own results after a month of taking it.
thanksAny questions on the Air Force and how it can help meet your needs PM me!

Think I should give this a try. A lot of my joints are starting to click and a while back I was feeling discomfort and a it of pain in my shoulders (possibly minor RC tear). If I take this will it help make the clicking go away and maybe strengthen my joints/ligaments? Also is it alright for a 17 year old to use this stuff?

Just started it today. No side effects so far. I definitely noticed an analgesic effect from 2 caps of the Super Cissus RX about an hour or two after taking it.........is cissus supposed to have an analgesic effect that takes place this quickly? I think it's bad ass.....I felt good enough to workout for the first time in 3 weeks......and had a great workout too!
I've heard some people discussing cissus having anabolic properties? Anybody care to discuss anabolic type effects they've gotten from cissus?

Question on SuperCissus RX
I have read about SuperCissus RX on ******** and then here and I am wondering if it would help my Dad. He has arthritis and has pain in his shoulders. He is on Plavix and has problems with diabetes. He has had a couple heart attacks and has high blood pressure etc. How can I find out if SuperCissus would be ok for him to take?
Thanks,
Shawn

Couple questions regarding this... I have taken cissus before with good success
1. Do you think I would benefit more from cissus or animal flex for a nagging/annoying rotator cuff. (clicking, annoynce, grinding)
2. If I take this with a lean xtreme/cortisol product, is that too much cortisol blockage?Last edited by burke; 03-01-2010 at 08:23 AM.

This stuff is not safe..I heed you to check if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Problem is we dont know the ingredients. First they wont release and good luck try reaching them.. The one i got in 2009 has the Super Cissus (proprietary blend) 750mg from bb site. They changed the ingredient label to Cissus Quadrangularis Stern 850mg. It does work as intended but with a hefty cost. I am convinced this stuff mess me up..Like previous posters have said possible side effects are, ankle pain because of the cortisol, neck pain, headaches and for me shortness of breath. Took it again last week, and the same symptoms reappeared..I would like to send this stuff to an independant lab if possible. Can the USPLabs rep please come forward and clarify this?.

Lower your dose to 2 morning and 2 at night.
Super Cissus is a potent Antiglucocorticoid and if we lower cortisol can cause low joint pain issue in some.
This is why used in a dieting phase cissus is great anabolic to preserve or build muscle!
Ask Doug Miller that...

I started taking USP SuperCissus and Powerful. About 20 minutes after I take the cissus, I get a headache, and I can feel and see the pulse in my neck. I stopped taking both supplements and 2 days later I'm still getting headaches off and on. Anyone else have this problem? I hate to stop taking it after only 2 days but its definitely starting to worry me. Would Cissus cause high blood pressure??

Have herniated/degenerative discs in my low back. I have taken couple of cycles of Cissus and starting the same day I begin taking it I immediately experience more pain in low back at the injury sight. Pain stops as soon as I discontinue use. Any thoughts as to why?5.8"
