Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated the use of a Cissus quadrangularis formulation to help with weight loss and metabolic syndrome, conditions that are increasingly common worldwide, especially in developed countries.
  • The research involved 123 overweight and obese individuals, who were divided into different groups receiving either the formulation or a placebo, with some also following a calorie-controlled diet for 8 weeks.
  • Results showed that those who took the Cissus quadrangularis formulation experienced significant reductions in weight, body fat around the abdomen, and improvements in blood markers like cholesterol, blood sugar, triglycerides, and inflammation, suggesting it could be useful for managing weight and metabolic health.
