 I was initially skeptical, but after two weeks I am DEFINITELY feeling the results! September 16, 2008

I have been powerlifting for 12 years now. For the past 2 years I have developed an intense pain in both of my elbows. Sometimes it feels as though the pain is emanating from between the two bones in my elbow. It especially feels the worst after a good chest or shoulder workout. It progressed to the point where I would wake up in the middle of the night in so much pain and would have to apply my Ace bandage or I would not be able to fall back to sleep. During the day, while I am at work, I would apply my odorless pain relieving ointments and keep my elbows covered with elbow sleeves. I just returned from a two week vacation to Orlando and intentionally did not work out during my time in Florida. I wanted my body to heal and to see if the pain would get any better during this layoff. During my first workout after two weeks off, it seemed as though I had never taken a break. The pain returned with such a vengeance.
I have tried so many over-the-counter painkillers (Advil, Advil PM), which only offered 4-6 hour relief, topical analgesics (Capzasin and Zostrix), which cost over ten bucks a tube, and even Glucosamine and Chondrotin. I purchased the most expensive Glucosamine Chondrotin with MSM, and I honestly feel it was completely ineffective in thwarting this sometimes unbearable elbow pain. About five years ago, after many years of heavy weight training, I actually had lidocaine injections in both of my elbows, my lower back and both of my shoulders to combat all of my pain. I now decided that since these injections are corticosteroids and only offer ephemeral relief, I would look for a viable alternative.
I am now into my third week of using Super Cissus and after my second week, I immediately felt a significant relief from my elbow pain. Not only is the difference so noticeable, but I am not even using the recommended dosage. The bottle informs you to use approximately four capsules per day to achieve maximum results. I decided on two per day because I wanted the bottle to last longer. Not only have I been able to resume my heavy workouts in the gym, this product it so much safer than any over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (Aleve). Plus, it takes only two capsules per day for me to feel plausible results.
Since I began taking Super Cissus, I no longer have to use any night-time pain reliever, nor do I have to wrap my elbows at night, or doing the day. Is this product a panacea? Who knows? Only time will tell. But, I am certainly happy, thus far, to have found a product like this with such a fantastic 24-hour pain-relieving benefit.

I have suffered from low back pain for years. I have been to spine specialists, physical therapists, and chiropractors over and over. I have had x-rays and MRIs and told I have a "healthy spine" so no one seems to know why I've been having pain. I figured it must be something that does not show up in x-rays or MRIs, like tendons or ligaments. I was skeptical about this product but desperate since I've tried everything else under the sun. I'm happy to say that, although I've only been taking this a couple weeks, my back pain is noticeably reduced. It's not gone (yet) but I don't have to live on Advil any more. That alone is worth it! Since it's only been a couple weeks, hopefully it will continue to improve in the weeks ahead. But even if this is as good as it gets my back feels better than it's been in years, so this stuff is definitely helping.

Amazingly Effective for Tendonitis July 9, 2010

I purchased this because I'd read about its use in traditional oriental medicine as a curative for broken bones. I had a fractured foot that was not healing after four months, and I was trying to avoid surgery. Not only did it heal my broken bone, it also gave me relief from the crippling tendonitis I'd been suffering with in my right hand and pain from an impinged shoulder muscle.
It might not work equally well for everyone, but it certainly worked well for me. I don't like having to rely on pain medication, and I haven't needed any ibuprofen or naproxen sodium for tendon or muscle pain since I started taking this.
super cissus rx June 27, 2010

As a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practioner I was in need of a supplement to help with joint pain. Glucosamin was not cutting it. I take fish oil but needed more to help. After hearing the talk about super cissus rx around the gym i decided to try it. It was expensive here at the local vitamin shop, so I was tentative. I did the loading phase which was pretty much one bottle over 14 days. Before the last of the bottle was gone i remember waking up one morning and realizing that my back pain was not lingering around as much, a quick stretch and my back would feel better. Usually it lingers till about mid-morning. My wrists were no longer aching when i would do my morning push ups. My elbows and shoulders stopped aching from my pull ups. Oh and my finger aches also stopped, hello grips! Along with that little aches and pains from 7 years of BJJ were also gone! I couldn't believe that i was feeling so much better from this stuff! Since then I have not stopped taking it, i take 3 in morning and 2 at night which is what I found to be a good maintenance dose. I recommend eating right after each dose. My best advice is to shop online to get the best price!
