Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Cissus Quadrangularis's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Cissus Quadrangularis for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Obesity — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for Cissus quadrangularis is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for obesity — small clinical studies suggest it might help lower fasting blood glucose in people with overweight or obesity.

For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), weak bones (osteopenia), cancer, and epilepsy, the evidence isn't established well enough for us to rate it one way or the other.

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 we don't have good long-term safety data. Headache and insomnia have been reported, as have flatulence, diarrhea, gastritis, and dry mouth — but the rates of these side effects are similar to or lower than what's seen with placebo.

There isn't enough safety data to know whether this ingredient is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Cissus Quadrangularis.
  • 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 antidiabetes drugs (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others that lower blood sugar), double-check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product — Cissus quadrangularis may increase the risk of low blood sugar when used together.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're looking to support healthy weight or blood glucose levels, Cissus Supreme may be worth considering — the evidence is modest but encouraging for obesity. The catch: if you're on antidiabetes medications, you'll need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist first, because the ingredient might lower your blood sugar further.

Long-term safety data is limited, so talk it over with your healthcare provider before starting.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cissus Supreme 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is winged treebine, and what's it supposed to do?
Winged treebine is the plant also called Cissus quadrangularis. The evidence suggests it might help with weight management and blood glucose control in people who are overweight or obese. For other uses like high cholesterol or bone density, there just isn't enough reliable evidence yet.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on Cissus quadrangularis during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The safety data advises against use in both situations. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist if you're in either of these situations — they can help you weigh the pros and cons for your individual circumstances.
What side effects should I expect?
Headache and insomnia have been reported, along with flatulence, diarrhea, stomach irritation, and dry mouth. The good news: the rates of these side effects in studies are the same as or lower than what people experienced taking placebo.
Is it safe to use long-term?
It's generally well tolerated in short-term use, but we don't have solid safety data for long-term use. If you're thinking about taking it regularly for months or longer, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Does this product have any fillers?
The capsule itself is vegetarian, which is the only inactive ingredient listed. There are no other fillers or binders in this formulation.
