Primaforce Cissus Powder 100 Grams, 1 Jar

You will feel warmth and your soreness including knee pains and joint stuffiness,will start to vanish;works as advertised. However,like any supplement its not long lasting and the effects will go soon after. But the brand Primaforce is among the top few.

This is the best cissus currently on the market. I have tried others and none can really compare. I have tried the other "bulk" powders sold on Amazon and elsewhere and none were as good. Some were not even actually cissus. Primaforce is a quality company founded by guys who are into bodybuilding and fitness themselves. Their reputation in the industry speaks for itself. I trust these guys. As for the cissus itself, it tastes horrible, but I have an iron stomach and my taste buds have sampled worse things than this powder. If you can not deal with bad tasting things, go for the caps. I am cheap and like powders. I take 2 grams of this stuff divided into 2 doses. That is 1 gram 2 times a day. Once in the morning, once in the evening. You can take this on an empty stomach or with food. On an empty stomach, it may help the stomach lining heal. In India, they use cissus to treat ulcers and gastritis. This stuff helps me with my general aches and pains, especially as I get older and continue to take bumps on the road. There is also a lot of evidence that cissus can help maintain and even increase bone density. This is really important for women who are susceptible to osteoporosis. Try this stuff out,but be warned, it may not work overnight. It takes a couple days, even weeks. This jar will last you 50 days at 2 doses a day, that should be enough time for you to gauge if it is effective or not. My only complaint is the price fluctuates a lot. Right now as I write this review, it is $12.99, a very fair price, I have purchased it for as high as $19.99. Please keep it $12.99!!!!

I started using this product for the claims made on it's ability to enhance joint repair.While my joints do feel better, I can't be absolutely sure I can attribute the improvement to Cissus. I'm continuing to use it for it's superb effects as an appetite suppressant. On the days I forget to take Cissus, my appetite exerts itself with its usual enthusiasm. While I haven't lost weight, I haven't gained any either. Considering that I was so crazy busy at school this winter, hardly having time to exercise or put much effort into managing my characteristically healthy diet, this is good. Very good. I don't mean that I ate cheese burgers, chips and ice cream and still didn't gain weight. Cissus helped me to not eat cheese burgers, chips and ice cream and maintain a health weight. Best of all, Cissus is not a stimulant. A cup of coffee is all of the stimulant I can handle. I should mention, Cissus tastes terrible! I'd give it negative 5 stars for taste. Very bitter. I've found the least painful way to get it down is to mix it with a small amount of apple sauce and just eat it fast. A moment of discomfort for a day of benefit.

I've relied on this herb for its anti-inflammatory effects for several years, and it works very well. Primaforce is a dependable, quality provider. I usually use capsules, which have been unavailable for a few months, so I tried the powder. It tastes awful and is so fine great care must be taken to prevent inhalation and spills, but it is effective and will see me through until the capsules are again available. Quick, smooth transaction and I just ordered more from this seller.

Cissus has worked well for me in the past. It definitely reduces recovery times, helps build muscle mass, prevents fat gain, and improves joint health. However, I would really recommend getting the capsules. I have tried mixing the powder with a number of different substances of varying consistencies: from protein shakes to yogurt. The results were...less than desirable. The stuff doesn't exactly taste great. It's not absolutely horrible, but it's pretty bad. With liquids, the majority of the powder always stays on the bottom of the drink, and the rest of it infects the drink with the terrible taste of cissus quadrangularis. With semi-solids (such as yogurt), it does not mix very well. I was able to stomach it by sandwiching the powder between large clumps of yogurt and swallowing the clump hole. However, I still tasted it somewhat. So, I ended up ordering some gel capsules to put the powder in. The price of this product and the gel capsules, plus shipping, wound up being about the same price as the cissus capsules (around $30).

Before purchasing the powder I was using cissus in caplet form. I noticed a slight improvement with the caplets but taking so many pills (glucosamine, probiotic etc) got annoying. Since switching to the powder I noticed it to be more effective. I'm not sure if it's the powder (less fillers?) or when I am taking it but I'm sure glad it's happening. I tend to take a scoop ~3 times a day. I try to disguise the taste in protein shakes, pre-workout and post workout drinks. The taste isn't too bad but be prepared, it's bitter and earthy. I also think taking it directly before and after my workout has help with the effectiveness of the cissus, as apposed to once in the AM and PM. For reference, I'm 40 with a right hip replacement and a severely arthritic knee among other aches and pains. I work out 5/6 times a week, three of which are with a trainer.
