Joint, mood, appetite and recovery support: CIssus from LiveLong Nutrition contains a highly potent extract of Cissus quadrangularis, clinically studied for its effects on joint health, anti-catabolic effects, mood, and appetite. Cissus quadrangularis is not a revolutionary discovery, but the clinical research done since its use in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, sheds some very important light on the specific ways in which this unique herb can profoundly effect everything from mood, to ligament healing, to muscle preservation, and appetite control. Cissus took the market by storm a few years ago due to its impressive effect on appetite control and soft tissue healing. Since then, thousands of satisfied customers have continued to order LiveLong Nutrition’s highly purified extract of Cissus quadrangularis, and the list of benefits continue to grow. Powerful tendon, ligament and joint support: Cissus, from LiveLong Nutrition is contains several unique saponins, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients and has been clinically studied for its effect on joint health, ligament healing and tendon repair. Studies conducted to research its benefits on joint support have shown great promise in the ability to support ligament, tendon and soft tissue health, while decreasing inflammation that plagues aching joints. The aches and pains we feel in our joints occur as a result of excessive inflammation, our immune system overreacting. The unique anti-inflammatory properties of Cissus quell that inflammation, reducing aches and pains while also allowing proper healing to take place, because until the inflammation is halted, the real repair process cannot begin. Lose fat, keep the muscle: Cissus has unique and powerful effects on fat loss, metabolism and muscle preservation. Recent studies have investigated just how Cissus helps to increase metabolism, reduce cholesterol and slim down stubborn body fat. There is also a growing body of evidence that suggests Cissus may spare lean muscle mass during times of caloric deficit, such as cutting phases and other diet situations. Excessive inflammation seen in muscle tissue following exercise limits muscle repair, exercise recovery and increases muscle breakdown. Along with powerful and unique antioxidants, Cissus also contains sterols that have been shown to have an effect on muscle preservation, as well as anabolic and anti-catabolic pathways. Reduce appetite and increase mood: Cissus stands apart from most other dietary supplements due to its unique effects on Serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in a number of crucial mood supporting and appetite crushing benefits. Cissus has been clinically studied for its specialized effects on this important regulator of positive wellbeing and craving control. Increased serotonin levels inevitably lead to increased feelings of well-being and will typically reduce appetite significantly. Cissus may just be the key to modulating this essential neurotransmitter. Several powerful effects from one product: Cissus is one of the few herbal supplements on the market today that can boast such a wide array of positive benefits. It may be the many different antioxidants and anti-inflammatory polyphenols present in the high-potency extract from LiveLong Nutrition, and it also contains a few powerful sterols that have been studied for their effects on several parameters of health.
