Along with AlbumaSoy, Cissus (CQR-300), a standardized, patented extract of the Cissus quadrangularis plant--is a key ingredient in Soy Labs' CardioTrim line of products.

Cissus quadrangularis is commonly mentioned in Ayurveda for treatment of gastric ulcers.

Gastric juice and mucosal studies showed that Cissus at a dose of 500 mg/kg given for 10 days significantly increased the mucosal defensive factors like mucin secretion, mucosal cell proliferation, glycoproteins, and life span of cells.

The present investigation suggests that Cissus not only strengthens mucosal resistance against ulcerogens but also promotes healing by inducing cellular proliferation.

Thus, Cissus has potential usefulness for treatment of peptic ulcer disease.
