From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Cissus quadrangularis extract at 1,000 mg per capsule. It also includes inactive ingredients—hypromellose, cellulose, and rice flour—that serve as the capsule material and filler.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Cissus Quadrangularis's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: bone and joint health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Fractures, Joint pain, Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Bone density — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Cissus Quadrangularis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteopenia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Cissus Quadrangularis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fractures, Osteoporosis, Joint pain, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Cissus quadrangularis extract is possibly effective for obesity based on the evidence we have. For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), bone loss (osteopenia), cancer, and epilepsy, the evidence is insufficient to rate it—we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for those uses.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cissus Quadrangularis

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Cissus quadrangularis is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. In clinical trials, some people reported headache, insomnia, flatulence, diarrhea, gastritis, and dry mouth—but the rates of these side effects were similar to or lower than placebo, so they're not a major concern.

Not enough safety data exists to use this supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Known Interaction Concern · database check

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take any antidiabetes drug—insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others—verify your specific medications on this page before starting. This ingredient may increase the risk of low blood sugar when combined with diabetes medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Cissus quadrangularis extract may be worth considering if you're interested in weight management and have looked into the modest evidence. If you take any diabetes medication, check your exact drugs with the interaction tool before you start.
