Question about Super Cissus RX (does anyone still use it?)

[Socrguy13]

Hey everyone - I'm new to this forum, so I don't exactly know if this is the right place to post this question (and honestly I'm not a body builder, but I have knee pain/joint issues from years of soccer and I've been researching supplements to take).

I heard about Super Cissus RX from USP Labs a few weeks ago through some Google searches, and a lot of the reviews came from forums on this site (but the posts are really old and the latest one I think was from 2010).

My concern is the lack of posts about it since then (not saying that means no one uses it anymore), but I wanted to see if anyone still uses it and if so, are they still having success with it?

I only found it for sale on a handful of sites, and it's actually out of stock on USP Labs website.

Just wondering if anyone on here still takes Super Cissus RX, and if so, what has been your success with it? Primarily for knee pain, since that's what I'm suffering with

Please let me know as soon as you can...thank you!

Super Cissus is a great product, however, I only bust out Cissus when things get bad.

Cissus as an ingredient, is pretty good, but you have to be careful with it because it can really mask / alleviate joint paint, but it doesn't really heal anything so a lot of guys tend to resume hard normal training while on it and potentially make the situation worse.

That being said, I love cissus and keep it on hand for flare-ups and would certainly recommend.

As for USP, I think they may have pulled it, it has been out of stock most places for like the last year.

Id try Genoflex as a replacement, I have used this as well, and it is a very good product, and If anything I felt it worked a bit better than USP's.

I use Cissus daily for my joints. Not Super Cissus RX in particular, but the ingredient itself I use and do really like. When I'm consistent with it, I do notice things are better. For me in particular, it's my left shoulder. It just doesn't ache nearly as bad, if at all.

iForce Joint Help is what I take which is 1g Cissus 2x a day + Paractin. Simple, basic and works.

I used super cissus RX back in the day, like 2010 when USP Labs had a big showing here on bb.com. It worked great back then, so if it is still the same product, go for it. Currently, I use Joint Help daily, 4 caps as a preventative measure, and 8 caps when I run into issues. Personally, the paractin makes it stand out due to its immediate pain relief effects.

Not a fan of Super Cissus because of the ketosterone %. A lower ketosterone percentage is better for joint and connective tissue health. From someone who's used, and depended on, cissus for years nothing comes close to the effectiveness of SNS Cissus. Paractin products are a close second for me, iForce and SNS both have great formulated products with paractin.

Cissus works great. I have had good luck with the Super Cissus product in the past.

Used Super Cissus RX awhile back, but never consistently. I've got a minor knee issue that tends to flare up occassionally.

Now I take Fish Oil daily, and will take Scivation Flexatril if need be.

I think when I was taking it, I was super mega dosing it.. but I can't remember, it was so freakin long ago.

I've used a few brands of Cissus over the years it's been out and USP Labs
was the first brand I used years ago with good results but then they changed
something with it so I switched to PrimaForce for a couple of years but once I
tried SNS and felt the effectiveness once again I haven't changed brands since
then. Just got my new order in a few day ago so I'm good for the next 6 months.

What is the studied dose of Cissus. Thinking I need to try it but want to make sure I'm doing it at the right dose.

800-1000mg x2 a day

I took cissus the last time I had issues with my joints and tendons. Surprisingly made zero difference when it worked for me 2-3 years ago. Curcumin 400mg(AM and PM) along with increasing omega's fixed my tendon and joint problems. I've since lowered my omega intake back to normal and still taking curcimin at 800mg total a day and never deal with joint or tendon pain anymore. Well, unless I train several days on without proper rest.

curcumin for the win. One of my favorite ingredients

I still go back to cissus. But it's primaforce for me at double the dose. This and a good curcumin product makes a difference, but don't expect miracles. ( I add msm at very high doses and fish oil sometimes )

This is what happened to me years ago when USP Labs was in the black jars with no
fancy labeling their cissus worked amazingly well then when they became more of a
main stream brand and they went to the white jars no more relief so I had to venture
into other brands and finally SNS became the brand that worked.
