Caralluma Fimbriata
and Weight Loss
Caralluma fimbriata is from the cactus
family grown in India. Like hoodia, caralluma fimbriata has
been used to suppress the appetite, enhance endurance.
In India it has been known as the
"famine food," consumed by people during periods of famine to
suppress the appetite and help them through the difficult time of no
food.
People in rural areas of India have
been eating Caralluma fimbriata as a vegetable for centuries.
It grows wild throughout various parts of the country. Because
Caralluma fimbriata is believed to block the activity of several
enzymes, which then blocks the formation of fat, forcing fat
reserves to be burned it has been added to weight loss pills and fat
burning products in the weight loss industry.
Caralluma fimbriata is also believed
to have an effect on the appetite control mechanism of the brain
hence it's use in appetite suppressant diet pills. Ayurvedic
Doctors, which is the traditional medicine man of India have noted
that there are no adverse effects when using Caralluma fimbriata,
and the plant has no known toxicity making it a safe appetite
suppressant.
