Cylaris Side Effects

Cylaris is a vitamin based weight loss supplement. There has been one clinical unpublished study specifically on Cylaris, but it only briefly dealt with possible side effects. However, due to the high caffeine content in Cylaris, it is likely that side effects could include insomnia, restlessness, and indigestion. A doctor should be consulted immediately if more serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, a rapid heart rate or seizures are experienced.

Cissus quadrangularis, also known as “veld grape”, is the key novel ingredient in Cylaris. It is an herbal supplement used in Ayurvedic and alternative medicine. Medicinal uses of Cissus quadrangularis include the treatment of obesity and bone fractures. Cissus also possess analgesic properties on a mg per mg basis comparable to aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. The phytochemical analyses of Cissus quadrangularis reveal a high content of ascorbic acid, carotene, phytosterol substances and calcium; moreover, there have also been reports of the presence of sitosterol, amyrin and amyrone. The plant is also rich in the vitamins/antioxidants vitamin C and beta-carotene. The typical recommended daily dosage of Cissus extract is between 100 and 500 mg, depending on the concentration of the extract and the severity of symptoms. For the powder of the dried plant, the Ayurvedic texts recommend a dosage of 3 to 6 grams to accelerate fracture healing. Safety studies in rats showed no toxic effects at dosages as high as 2000 mg/kg of body weight. Commercial products containing Cissus quadrangularis seem to be safe when used appropriately in adults, short-term for up to 6-8 weeks.

Some people who took Cissus quadrangularis experienced side effects such as headache, flatulence, dry mouth, diarrhea, and insomnia. But there is not enough information to know how often these side effects might occur.
