Caralluma fimbriata is a succulent, edible cactus that grows across India. It has been in use in India for centuries as a vegetable and famine food.   The cactus is used by the labor class in South India to enhance endurance and suppress appetite. Indian tribesmen are known to chew chunks of Caralluma for energy and to suppress hunger when on a day’s hunt.

Caralluma is an effective weight management herb that has a double action modus operandi, making it highly effective.

Caralluma is manufactured by a unique process which ensures that there is no chemical alteration to any of the key constituents of the herb. The extract of Caralluma fimbriata has been extensively studied for its use in appetite suppression leading to clinically significant weight loss.

Controlled clinical trials on Caralluma have clearly demonstrated that it suppresses appetite. When we eat, the nerves from the stomach send a signal to the hypothalamus in the brain. This is the part of the brain that controls appetite. When the stomach is full, the hypothalamus signals the brain to stop eating. When a person is hungry, the hypothalamus sends a signal to the brain that food is needed.

  Caralluma inhibits this hunger sensory mechanism of the hypothalamus. The Pregnane Glycosides contained in  Caralluma interfere with the signaling mechanism and create a signal on its own, seeming to fool the brain into thinking that the stomach is full, even when the person has not eaten.
Caralluma inhibits fat synthesis by blocking the formation of Acetyl Co-Enzyme A and Malonyl Co-Enzyme A, which are the building blocks of fat synthesis. Caralluma also increases burning of fat by the body. This makes more energy available to the body and makes the person more active and lively. It’s a well known fact the muscle cells burn more calories than fat cells. So when more energy is available to the body, muscle cells burn energy faster. Muscle cells are heavier than fat cells but they are also denser than fat cells. So they occupy less space and consequently the person appears more compact and trimmer, compared to before.
