Cissus - caps

Postby daveuk » Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:32 pm

I've recently been taking Cissus for joint/tendon pain. I find it to be pretty effective although the taste absolutely disgusting. I recently bought a capping machine and vegan caps so have been making them up. Mostly just wondering other people's experiences of the stuff, plus does anyone know a good dosage to take? I'm mostly taking it to eleviate shoulder pain as I have very weak tendons/muscles both shoulders and am still trying to work out as much as poss.
There was no instructions on amount to take with my order of powder!

On another note if anyone else like me was sick from taking the powder (it really is horrible stuff) like me, I am making up caps in big batches at the moment for sale as cheap as possible. Please let me know if you are interested.
I hope to hear of your experiences of this amazing stuff.

I took 3g/day when I took it. Yeah it tastes pretty bad. I mixed it with natural peanut butter and it wasn't as bad. I didn't get much from it that I noticed with joints feeling better or performing differently, but I didn't have any joint pain before.

another cissus fan checking in!

I just use the powder mate, add it to shakes, so it doest really taste.

But the trouble is, i cant be bothered making shakes every day so i dont really get the regular dosage of cissus either :D

I take the powder, just mix it with orange juice, quite like it really. Daveuk - where did you get it from? Is there a UK supplier again?

hey dave, do you have an idea of what price you could sell those tabs for? And how much would there be in one tab?

im not really too sure to be honest mate, powder cost me around £28 + postage, plus another 30 for capping kit and 200 vegan caps.
i will find out all details soon, but I think there size 00 caps? If thats makes sense, and I fill them to 90%. Im taking 3-4 a day now, although I wasn't given any advice on how many to take. I'm just estimating.
I will find out all the small points mate and drop you a private message.
cheers. dave

Are there folks still using this stuff? I'm trying to find a local supplier but bulkpowders.co.uk looks like the best option, but my vegan alarm goes off with there being no vegan symbol like with all their other vegan products. Has this been confirmed vegan?
