Cissus Quadrangularis: Associate for Bones, and Joint Healing
Cissus Quadrangularis is familiar as Hadjod (translated as ‘Bone setter’). It is a succulent plant that is perennial and has been used in traditional Indian medicine since antiquity. Currently, in the field of pharmacology, its various ingredients are being standardized to show rich ketosterones and to speed up bone healing along with tendons and other connective tissue. Surgeons and sports medics prescribe the extract for patients with fractures, torn ligaments, and various conditions like osteoporosis.
On the Mechanism: “Osteogenic” Bonuses
Bone Mineralization in Fast-Forward: The Cissus extract induces osteoblast formation, the cell-mediated deposition of new bone, thereby accelerating the formation of hard bone from a “soft callus” at a fracture site.
Collagen Synthesis: Formation and deposition of Type I collagen, the major form of collagen, assists in gaining strength in the tendons and ligaments.
Natural Inflammation Manager: As an anti-inflammatory, the natural analgesic activities suppress enzymes, say, COX-2, that promote pain and swelling without the irritation to the stomach associated with the administration of synthetic NSAID targets.

Use & Safety Points
Tips: Consistency in the administration phase is must, especially for fracture healing. Generally, use Cissus extracts 30 min prior to a meal to allow for quick absorption of plant phyto-actives.
Precautions:
Diabetes: These herbs can lower blood sugar; hence, closely monitor glucose if being regulated by diabetic medication.
Pregnancy & Nursing: A lack of sufficient clinical data in pregnant females calls for caution and strict medical supervision.
Blood Pressure: It can slightly lower down the pressure; consult your healthcare provider to check interaction with antihypertensive medication.
Gastric Sensitivity: Mild warmth in the stomach is rare. If felt, it is advised to take it with water.

Flatulence or bloating
Somnolence
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Does Cissus Quadrangularis contain steroids?
No. Although “ketosterones” are present, these compounds are natural (phyto-sterols) and different from hormone-based steroids. They help in tissue healing without typical steroid-related side effects.
2. Can I take this instead of my Calcium supplement?
Cissus and Calcium function differently. Calcium provides the raw material for bones, while Cissus stimulates faster bone formation. They are often used together.
3. How long should I take it for a fracture?
It should be guided by an orthopedic specialist, but commonly suggested duration is 6 to 12 weeks or until healing is confirmed via X-rays.
4. Can it be used for weight loss?
Some research suggests Cissus may support metabolic health, but its primary role is in bone and joint healing. It is not a dedicated weight-loss supplement.
5. Can I use Cissus for chronic back pain?
If the pain is due to minor vertebral fractures or ligament strain, it may help. However, for nerve-related pain like Sciatica, other treatments are usually required.
