Caralluma Fimbriata: Move Over Hoodia!

By: Barry Crewse Caralluma Fimbriata. Say what? I can almost hear you now..."not another fad diet supplement!" Well, yes and no. First, lets get into just what the heck Caralluma is...and what it's not.

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.

For literally hundreds of years it has been eaten by the locals of the region as a vegetable and can be eaten both raw and cooked. The green follicles of the plant are usually boiled, salted and eaten. It is also very popular there in making a variety of different chuntney's and pickles.

Eons ago, the local people who ate this vegetable found that it seemed to contain properties that suppressed their appetite, quenched their thirty and gave their energy a boost as well. It became very popular as a portable "hunting food". In the more arid regions of India it also became known locally as a "famine food" which sustained the population during times of low food production.

Modern science has now caught up with Caralluma Fimbriata and this new succulent cactus is making a booming appearance in the diet and fitness world. Not only does it appear to have the ability to suppress the appetite and give your endurance a boost but it also looks promising in lowering blood sugar levels as well.

Researchers believe that Caralluma extracts act on the brains main hunger centers thereby reducing your feelings of being hungry. More importantly, research indicates this appetite suppression action takes place without any significant disturbances in the functions of your neurotransmitter functions unlike many of the best known appetite suppressants on the market today.

Recent studies also seem to indicate that one important extract, pregnane glycoside, appears to be effective in not only obesity, weight and diet disorders but also in the reductions of fat, BMI, reduction in hip and waste circumferences, blood glucose and blood pressure.

Other benefits include increase in lean body mass, enhancement in the ratio of blood HDL/LDL, improvement in capillary health, hearing, memory function, joint inflammation and others.

Surprisingly, Caralluma Fimbriata is a completely natural appetite suppressant and does not contain any artificial ingredient, chemicals or any type of preservative which more recent studies indicate can possibly interfere in the body's natural dieting process.

As far as any know toxicity or adverse reaction associated with the use of Caralluma, there have never been any recorded instance of either. In fact, there have been numerous studies done of late to determine the safety factor in human consumption. The main facts remain. This vegetable has been eaten by countless generations without any know consequence. Not sure there are any better studies than that.

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.
