<p>The ingredient Cissus Quadrangularis in <strong>CissusMax</strong>™ have been used safely in India for centuries. Some of the amazing properties of Cissus Quadrangularis are actual re-growth of tendons, ligaments and bone! That&#8217;s right &#8211; re-growth. <strong>CissusMax</strong>™ is so unique and powerful; it can even help repair old, nagging injuries that have bothered you for years. It&#8217;s like having a coat of armour protecting your body at all times!</p>
<p>In addition, <strong>CissusMax</strong>™can significantly lower cortisol, which can lead to increased Testosterone levels and new muscle tissue. Cissus Quadrangularis has also proven to be a potent anabolic/anti-catabolic agent without suppressing natural hormonal levels!</p>
<p>In fact, a recent clinical study proved Cissus Quadrangularis to be a stronger anti-catabolic than Deca &amp; Dbol! Now that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you will gain 30 pounds of muscle overnight, but it does mean <strong>CissusMax</strong>™will significantly help rebuild and repair your joints, tendons, ligaments, keep you in a positive nitrogen balance and slash your recovery time from workouts.</p>
<p>The great thing is it&#8217;s 100% safe! No signs of toxicity, even at mega doses.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Let Injuries Stop You From Gaining Enormous Amounts Of Muscle And Getting Ripped To The Bone</p>
<p>Most if not all athletic or bodybuilding careers end because of tendon, ligament and cartilage injuries. Many intelligent athletes are using <strong>CissusMax</strong>™ as a preventative aid to fight off these injuries. <strong>CissusMax</strong>™ is the only known legal compound that builds tendon and ligament strength.</p>
<p>It has been my experience that many bodybuilders and athletes take anti-inflammatory medications to fight through the pain. Ultimately, these medications only kill the sensation of pain not the symptom. <strong>CissusMax</strong>™ has demonstrated the ability to kill the pain specific to the injury, while promoting tissue regeneration.</p>
<p>In addition, these anti-inflammatory medications stop protein synthesis in its tracks. If you aren&#8217;t aware, one of the biggest reasons why anabolic Steroids work so well is because they dramatically increase protein synthesis. So each time you take ibuprofen or any other NSAIDS, you are preventing your body from building muscle! Do yourself a favor and stop taking them.</p>
<p><strong>CissusMax</strong>™ actually increases protein synthesis. So while your body rebuilds and regenerates connective tissue, you can build muscle too!<br />
<strong><br />
Here are just some of the great benefits you can get by using </strong><strong>CissusMax</strong>™<strong>…</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Safely &amp; Effectively Rebuilds Tendons &amp; Ligaments &#8211; Only natural herb in the world proven to do so.</li>
<li>Scientifically proven more powerful anti-catabolic properties than Deca &amp; D-Bol &#8211; Preserve muscle mass better than any natural substance!</li>
<li>Keeps body in positive nitrogen balance 24/7!</li>
<li>Significantly lowers cortisol by at least 31 %!</li>
<li>Powerful pain reliever &#8211; without damaging effects that ibuprofen brings.</li>
<li>100% Safe &amp; effective &#8211; Has been used for centuries in India.</li>
<li>So powerful it&#8217;s Patent Pending!</li>
</ul>

<p align="center" class="style3"><font face="Tahoma" size="4"><strong>Here&#8217;s the scientific write-up&hellip;</strong></font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Cissus Quadrangularis is an ancient medicinal plant native to the hotter parts of Ceylon and India. Cissus Quadrangularis was prescribed in the ancient Ayurvedic texts as a general tonic and analgesic, with specific bone fracture healing properties. Modern research has shed light on Cissus&#8217; ability to speed bone healing by showing it acts as a glucocorticoid antagonist (1,2).</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Since anabolic/androgenic compounds are well known to act as antagonists to the glucocorticoid receptor as well as promote bone growth and fracture healing, it has been postulated that Cissus Quadrangularis possesses anabolic and/or androgenic properties (1,3). In addition to speeding the remodeling process of the healing bone, Cissus Quadrangularis also leads to a much faster increase in bone tensile strength.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">In clinical trials Cissus Quadrangularis has led to a fracture healing time on the order of 55 to 33 percent of that of controls. That cissus exerts antiglucocorticoid properties is suggested by a number of studies where bones were weakened by treatment with cortisol, and upon administration of Cissus Quadrangularis extract the cortisol induced weakening was halted, and the healing process begun.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">While the increased rate of bone healing may be of great significance to persons suffering from chronic diseases like osteoporosis (4), the antiglucocorticoid properties of Cissus Quadrangularis are likely of much more interest to the average bodybuilder or athlete, since endogenous glucocorticoids, particularly cortisol, are not only catabolic to bone, but catabolize muscle tissue as well.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Numerous studies over the years have suggested that glucorticoids, including the body&#8217;s endogenous hormone cortisol activate pathways that degrade not only bone, but skeletal muscle tissue as well. A recently published report documented exactly how glucocorticoids (including cortisol) induce muscle breakdown: They activate the so-called ubiquitin-proteasome pathway of proteolysis (5). This pathway of tissue breakdown is important for removing damaged and non-functional proteins. </font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">However, when it is overactive during periods of elevated cortisol (e.g disease states, stress, and over-training) excess amounts of normal tissue are broken down as well. By exerting an anabolic, antiglucorticoid effect Cissus Quadrangularis helps preserve muscle tissue during times of physical and emotional stress.</p>
<p> Although the bulk of the research on Cissus Quadrangularis centers around bone healing, the possibility exists that Cissus may act to improve bone healing it may improve the healing rate of connective tissue in general, including tendons. If this is the case it would be of great benefit to bodybuilders and athletes.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Besides the above-mentioned properties of Cissus Quadrangularis, the plant is also rich in the vitamins/antioxidants vitamin C and beta-carotene. As analyzed, Cissus quadrangularis contained ascorbic acid 479 mg, and carotene 267 units per 100g of freshly prepared paste in addition to calcium oxalate (6).</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">The typical recommended daily dosage of Cissus Quadrangularis is&nbsp;1-2&nbsp;grams to accelerate fracture healing. Safety studies in rats showed no toxic effects at dosages as high as 2000 mg/kg of body weight. So not only is Cissus efficacious, it is also quite safe, in either the dried powder form or the commercially available extract.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Cissus Quadrangularis also possess analgesic properties on a mg per mg basis comparable to aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. Cissus quadrangularis, which has been proved to be highly effective in relieving pain, reduction of swelling and promoting the process of healing of the simple fractures as well as in curing the allied disorders associated with fractures (7). The mechanism through which Cissus Quadrangularis exerts its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties has not been well characterized. It may act centrally, but the anti-inflammatory features suggest that it acts by preventing the conversion of arachidonic acid to inflammatory prostaglandins. Real World Application for injuries.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Simply if you&#8217;re suffering from joint pain, ligament pain, cartilage pain, had surgery on bone, ligament or cartilage, Cissus is the supplement to use. It has been my experience that many athletes take anti-inflammatory medications to fight through the pain. Ultimately, these medications only kill the sensation of pain not the symptom. Cissus has the ability to kill the pain specific to the injury while promoting healing. </font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">Some users will get instant relief and other will need to use Cissus for much longer period of time for complete healing of an injury. Leverage performance science is not claiming that Cissus will work 100% percent of the time that would be a foolish claim. We have estimated that 85% of user experience relief from our product. This number may lower or rise as more consumers send in reports. In the PHARMACEUTICAL industry a 50% success rate is good. Since we&#8217;re talking about the Pharmaceutical industry, they have yet to produce a product that helps the healing process. They just develop pain medications that are often addicting.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">CissusMax is anabolic and anti-catabolic!!! CissusMax users report a &quot;PUMP&quot; that we call the CissusMax pump. The PUMP effect becomes prevalent at approximately 10-15 days of continuous CissusMax use. The &quot;PUMP&quot; is due to the increase of blood flow to the muscle. The CissusMax pump will have you flexing your muscle for no apparent reason. This is when you know the product has exerted its effect.</font></p>
<p align="left" class="mainfont"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">If using CissusMax to heal injury related pain, you may experience instant relief due to its analgesic (pain killing) effect . This does not mean the injury has completely healed! Please continue your training regimen with extra caution until full recovery has been achieved. On the contrary, if using CissusMax primarily for its anabolic properties your training program should be continued with maximum intensity to reap the full benefits of this product.</font></p>
