Chemical composition of cissus quadrangularis
Cissus has a wide range of active compounds that determine the unique action of the plant. They are primarily classified as tetracyclic triterpenoid ketosteroids, as well as flavonoids, vitamins C and E and calcium.

Influence on the musculoskeletal system
Cissus is helpful both as an element of prophylaxis and phytotherapy of osteoporosis - a disease involving the reduction of the bone mass, which increases the susceptibility to fractures and injuries. It was shown that the plant extracts increase bone mineralization, through improving the calcium uptake and by reducing the level of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1 and IL-6, involved in the bone remodeling process and increasing their resorption.

In an animal study, the ability of the cissus extract to alleviate the induced chondrocyte lesions (cartilage cells) and to stimulate the cell growth and division was demonstrated. Cissus also affects the production of collagen by fibroblasts. In addition, meta-analyzes of studies conducted on humans have shown that the plant positively affects the regeneration of bone tissue. Regular supplementation with cissus extracts can shorten the time needed to heal a broken bone.

Cissus in sports supplementation
Thanks to the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity and the impact on the joint health, cissus is particularly recommended in sports supplementation. It is helpful in the joint pain caused by overload, allowing faster recovery and supporting mobility of the motor system. In addition, cissus effectively supports the post-workout recovery.

Help in obtaining a healthy body weight
Cissus is also helpful in achieving the dream figure. The ketosteroids present in the plant have an anabolic effect, thanks to which they promote building of the muscle mass. In addition, cissus supports the reduction of adipose tissue - it has been shown (in an animal study) that taking the extract from the plant caused a decrease in the body weight and adipose tissue as well as a decrease in the adipocytes size.

In vitro studies have shown that the active ingredients of the plant have the ability to inhibit the pancreatic lipase activity, they affect the regulation of adipose tissue function and gene activity associated with the lipogenesis processes.

In conclusion, Apollo's Hegemony Acticissus is a natural and safe help for the osteoarticular system. The product is recommended especially for the athletes and physically active people to relieve injuries and to speed up regeneration, for women during menopause to protect against osteoporosis, for the elderly to support the health of joints and for convalescents after the injuries and broken bones.
