Caralluma 

AN EDIBLE CACTUS from India, caralluma fimbriata for centuries has been eaten by tribesmen to stave off hunger and thirst on long hunts. In India, it is often found as a roadside shrub or boundary marker and is a common item of daily diet.

Caralluma in recent years has shown itself to be a powerful appetite suppressant and has also demonstrated an ability to assist in lowering blood sugar.

An all-natural product, it nonetheless is not a native plant in North America, so is available in this country in supplement form. Ongoing research through controlled clinical trials continues to confirm that caralluma is indeed a potent appetite suppressant.

How does caralluma work?

When we eat, nerves from the stomach send a signal to the hypothalamus—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. Pregnane glycosides in caralluma interfere with this signaling mechanism, acting like an "off" switch and fooling the brain into thinking the stomach is full, even when it is not.

Caralluma also inhibits fat synthesis by blocking certain enzymes necessary to that process.

Time of day important

Some who have tried caralluma—especially those who struggle with eating too much late in the day—find that if they take the supplement in the evening when they face their maximum level of hunger, it is particularly effective.

One excellent and high-quality source of caralluma is called Caralluma Burn. To learn more about it—or to order, click on the image below.
