Cissus quadrangularis (often called veldt grape or hadjod) is a traditional medicinal plant celebrated for accelerating bone fracture healing, relieving joint pain, and supporting metabolic health.
Its active antioxidants and plant steroids also aid in managing weight, reducing inflammation, and stabilizing blood sugar.
Historically nicknamed “devil’s backbone,” it is highly regarded in Ayurveda for significantly speeding up the fracture-healing process, preventing bone loss, and increasing overall bone mineral density.
It acts as a natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent, often used to help ease symptoms of osteoarthritis and everyday joint wear-and-tear.
Some clinical studies suggest it can reduce body weight, waist circumference, and blood lipid levels, making it a common ingredient in metabolic and bodybuilding supplements.
The plant is rich in flavonoids and vitamins.
It is used to protect the stomach lining, combat oxidative stress, and assist in balancing blood glucose.
