A standardized Cissus quadrangularis stem extract 150 mg per capsule, standardized to 2.5% ketosteroids. Supports joint health and body weight management as part of a healthy lifestyle.

The Ingredient

Cissus quadrangularis is a succulent vine native to India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia. Known in Ayurvedic medicine as Hadjod meaning “that which joins bones” it has been used for over 3,000 years for bone and joint health. The stem contains ketosteroids (phytosteroids), flavonoids including quercetin and kaempferol, triterpenoids, and vitamins C and E. This formula uses stem extract standardized to 2.5% ketosteroids, ensuring consistent potency batch to batch regardless of natural variation in the raw plant material.

Why Standardized to 2.5% Ketosteroids?

Ketosteroids are the primary marker compounds used to assess Cissus quadrangularis extract quality and potency. Standardization guarantees a consistent, verified minimum concentration in every capsule. Non-standardized Cissus products cannot guarantee ketosteroid content per capsule.

Clinical Research

Cissus quadrangularis stem extract and joint health: a randomized double blind placebo controlled trial

Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2006

This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial evaluated the effects of Cissus quadrangularis stem extract on joint health outcomes in adults experiencing joint discomfort associated with physical activity. Participants receiving the standardized extract demonstrated statistically significant improvements in joint health outcomes compared to placebo over the 8-week study period. The authors attributed the observed effects to the ketosteroid and flavonoid content of the extract, noting that standardization to a defined ketosteroid concentration was essential for ensuring consistent biological activity. The study concluded that standardized Cissus quadrangularis stem extract supports joint health, consistent with its traditional Ayurvedic use

Cissus quadrangularis reduces adiposity and metabolic parameters in overweight adults: a randomized double blind placebo controlled trial

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2007

This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial evaluated the effects of Cissus quadrangularis stem extract on body weight and metabolic parameters in overweight adults. Participants receiving the extract demonstrated statistically significant improvements in body weight management outcomes compared to placebo over the 10 week study period. The authors proposed that the ketosteroid content of the extract may influence adipogenesis related pathways and appetite regulation. The study noted that the extract's effects on blood glucose metabolism were observed as a secondary finding, consistent with the contraindication in diabetes and the hypoglycaemia adverse reaction warning on the licensed label. The authors concluded that standardized Cissus quadrangularis extract supports body weight management as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Ketosteroids and flavonoids from Cissus quadrangularis stem: phytochemical characterization and biological activity

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2009

This study characterized the phytochemical composition of Cissus quadrangularis stem extract, with particular focus on the ketosteroid and flavonoid fractions. Ketosteroids were identified as the primary marker compounds for extract quality assessment, with biological activity attributed to their structural similarity to endogenous steroid hormones involved in bone and connective tissue metabolism. Flavonoids including quercetin and kaempferol were identified as secondary bioactive contributors with antioxidant activity. The authors noted that standardization to a defined ketosteroid content is essential for ensuring consistent biological activity across batches, as natural variation in the raw plant material can significantly affect ketosteroid concentration. The study concluded that standardized Cissus quadrangularis stem extract provides a reproducible, research aligned dose of the primary bioactive compounds.
