Caralluma is a natural appetite suppressant, derived from the cactus-family of plants. Used in India for centuries, Caralluma is now growing in popularity as it claims to not only suppress the appetite, but also lower blood sugar levels.
How does it Work?
Caralluma is often compared to the popular weight loss supplement, Hoodia, as both supplements are natural and plant-derived appetite suppressants. Similar to Hoodia, Caralluma works by controlling appetite mechanisms in the brain, while furthermore suppressing enzyme activities that would normally lead to the formation of fat. In blocking this formation, the body is forced to use its current “fat reserves” for energy, which promotes weight loss. Historically, people ate Caralluma in its vegetable-plant state in order to control hunger and endurance while on long and difficult journeys. It was once named a “famine food,” as it was also used during long periods of famine in India’s past.
Is Caralluma Safe?
Recently, two clinical trials of Caralluma extract reported that taking the supplement resulted in no serious side effects. Paired with this, a double-blind and placebo-controlled study reported that Caralluma extract significantly reduced the subjects’ weights. In a third trial study, over 80% of the test nearly 20 subjects lost weight. These studies each reported that the side effects were not serious, yet may include:
- Constipation
- Moderate Acidity
- Flatulence
- Bloating
How Do I Take Caralluma?
Commercially, Caralluma is available in a variety of supplements, each of which recommends different dosage procedures.
DEX-C20
This supplement includes both Carulluma extract in addition to a blend of other natural ingredients. DEX-C20 is said to increase energy, boost metabolism, suppress appetite, and aid in overall weight loss success. Users claim to feel a boost in energy immediately after taking a DEX-C20 capsule, yet do not report feeling jittery or nervous, as this formula is caffeine free. Consumers only need to take one capsule before lunch and one capsule before dinner. If preferred, it is also effective to take a capsule in the morning, as opposed to in the afternoon.
Slimaluma
Slimaluma is another supplement containing Carulluma, created by Source Naturals. Source Naturals uses a trademarked Carulluma, which is made with elements from a reviewed raw material supplier. Slimaluma is also said to suppress appetite and increase weight loss, and has the added benefits of being stimulant free and is available in vegetarian capsules. Consumers should take one capsule before breakfast, but can alter this dosage if recommended by a physician.
Pure Caralluma
Consumers can also take pure Caralluma tablets, with no other additives or ingredients. The pure Caralluma is most commonly available in capsule form, and is sold at most health food stores, or is readily available at online stores and health sites.
Caralluma Burn
Caralluma Burn is a supplement containing 500mg of pure Caralluma Fimbriata extract. Caralluma Fimbriata is a succulent native to India, which has appetite suppressing qualities. Caralluma Burn is the only Caralluma based supplement that contains only the appetite suppressing extract and nothing else. So in other words it’s 100 percent pure. Caralluma Burn is manufactured in the United States to pharmaceutical standards. One capsule taken daily before a major meal is sufficient for appetite suppression.
