Caralluma Fimbriata. Almost no one has even heard of it and those who have may be asking just what the heck it is. The first thought for most people is just another fad diet gimmick. But is it? Could it be pure gold in the world of weight loss? Let’s find out.

Caralluma Fimbriata is a succulent plant belonging to the cactus family. It is found mainly in India and the surrounding areas and grows wild there.

The locals in most regions of India have eaten Caralluma as a vegetable for hundreds of years if not longer. The green leafy parts of the plant are most usually and eaten with a little salt. It can be eaten cooked or raw. Among other things, it is also made into a variety of pickles and different chutney’s.

For generations the local people found this vegetable seemed to contain certain properties when eaten. Not only did it as an appetite and diet suppressant but also seemed to quench their thirst while boosting their energy levels. Because of this it became wildly popular as both a “hunting and famine food” sustaining the people when food stuffs became scarce.

All the apparent benefits have now caught the eye of modern science and this once native plant of Indian culture is making an impressive appearance on the world dieting scene. Besides having the ability to suppress the appetite and boost endurance it also appears to be a factor in lowering blood sugar levels as well.

Clinical researchers are discovering that the extracts of Caralluma actually act on the hunger centers within the brain reducing the feeling of being hungry. Further more, these studies have found that appetite suppression takes place without any known disturbances in the natural function of the neurotransmitters within the brain itself. This is surprisingly different than most appetite suppressants on the market today.

More recently, studies are finding that pregnane glycoside, an important extract of Caralluma seems to be not only an effective appetite suppressant but also a major player in the reduction of BMI, fat, blood glucose, blood pressure and a noticeable reduction in waste and hip circumferences as well.

The same studies have also concluded that there appears to be improvement in not only memory function, hearing and capillary health but also notable enhancement of the HDL/LDL blood ratio’s as well as controlling joint inflammation and others.

Caralluma Fimbriata is completely natural and contains no artificial ingredients. This supplement also does not contain any type of chemicals or preservative which are widely known to possibly interfere with your own body’s dieting processes.

There have never been any recorded instance of adverse reaction or toxicity in the extensive studies undertaken to determine it’s safety in human consumption. The fact that it has been eaten for centuries should be proof for certain of it’s benefits and long term positive effects on the human body.

If you haven’t heard much about Caralluma yet you will in the near future as this newcomer to the weight loss arena is poised to take the appetite suppression market by storm. I expect it will overtake Hoodia, which is not only more expensive but less effective and not as readily available.
