Cissus Quadrangularis (CQ), aka Veld Grape, is a houseplant used in Indian folk medicine to heal fractures (1-9), and in other cultures to treat, for instance, gastrointestinal disorders (10-13) and even hemorrhoids(14). Cissus also has anti-oxidant and anti-microbial effects (15, 16), anti-inflammatory actions (11-13) including the reduction of tissue infiltration by immune cells(13), a hallmark of tissue injury, and similarly, analgesic (pain reducing) actions(14). CQ contains high levels of vitamin C and carotene(15) as well as the phytochemical quercitin(17), an anti-inflammatory(18), vaso-dilating flavanoid found in grapes(19), and beta-sitosterol(17), a cholesterol-based compound that also has anti-inflammatory(20) as well as immunomodulating (cortisol reducing) effects(21) and possibly the ability to reduce glucocorticoid receptor expression(22). A study with beta-sitosterol demonstrated that this constituent of CQ reduced the stress on the immune system as well as the elevation in cortisol brought on by running a marathon(21), suggesting that beta-sitosterol and CQ may have an adaptogenic effect. CQ may also aid in body fat loss and improve related health parameters such as blood lipid profile. Oben et al.(16, 23) found that, compared to a placebo group, obese individuals taking CQ (600mg daily), with or without a formulation including green tea extract, lost bodyweight and reduced blood LDL ("bad") cholesterol, triglycerides and resting blood glucose. CQ also increased serotonin levels in the blood, which may have reduced appetite, as well as creatinine, suggesting that CQ may have an anabolic effect. (An increase in blood creatinine level suggests increased skeletal muscle mass(24, 25).) Studies of CQ's effect on bone growth also support the notion of CQ as an anabolic agent(2).
