Quite interesting...but I think the overall bottom line is that these were controlled calorie diets.
They may say it spared muscle - but I have a hard time believeing it would have prevented any muscle from being lost.
They also wrote this in the study...
Several other dietary supplements (green tea, soy, chromium, selenium, B-vitamins) have only marginal effects in treating obesity but they address other metabolic syndrome symptoms and thus were included in the formulation.
So, how do we know for sure that it was the Cissus that did the job?
Just throwing that out there.
