Watch a clip of Dr. Nicholas Perricone, MD on Caralluma Fimbriata:
By Mary Shomon
Pure Caralluma Fimbriata Succulent Caralluma fimbriata is a succulent plant, in the cactus family, that has been used as a natural appetite suppressant in India for centuries. It's a new arrival in the family of cactii and succulent plants that are becoming increasingly popular for their appetite suppressant, and weight loss properties, as well as their ability to lower blood sugar. One of the newest all-natural suppressing product is the Caralluma Fimbriata, which Jen Cully, president of Millennium Health* believes to be superior to hoodia gordonii. Test results conducted by Millennium Health* confirmed that Caralluma Fimbriata is in fact superior to Hoodia Gordonii in terms of its effectiveness and potency. Indian Cactus is Promising Appetite Suppressant and Weight Loss Aid
Caralluma fimbriata is believed to block the activity of several enzymes, which then blocks the formation of fat, forcing fat reserves to be burned. Caralluma fimbriata is also believed to have an effect on the appetite control mechanism of the brain. Ayurvedic (traditional Indian medicine) experts have noted that there are no adverse effects when using Caralluma fimbriata, and the plant has no known toxicity. A patented, tested extract of Caralluma fimbriata has been developed and standardized as "Slimaluma," the extract delivers the plant in a concentrated form. One of the only products available in the U.S. that uses the Slimaluma formula is Country Life's GenaSlim supplement, which combines the patented Slimaluma extract of Caralluma fimbriata with EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) from green tea. Together they reportedly have a synergistic effect on appetite control and weight loss. In several clinical trials Slimaluma was shown to be effective in reducing body fat through appetite control.
