Description
Cissus Quadrangularis is a vine from the grape family, traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to support bone health, joint comfort, and digestive balance. Its stems contain antioxidants, triterpenoids, and ketosteroids that promote collagen formation, reduce inflammation, and help regulate blood sugar and weight management. Known as “Hadjod” or “bone-setter,” it has been used for centuries to speed fracture healing. Today, Cissus quadrangularis appears in modern supplements for musculoskeletal health, metabolic support, and athletic recovery.
