Cirsium Oligo
Cirsium Oligophyllum is a species of thistle native to East Asia, known for its potential benefits in weight loss and lipolysis (the breakdown of fats). It is an edible perennial plant, with its roots, leaves, and flowers being consumed in various forms. The plant is part of the thistle family and is said to be completely edible. The flowers are often fried as a delicacy in Asia and Russia.
One of the main benefits of Cirsium Oligophyllum is its potential to stimulate weight loss by utilizing fatty acids for fuel. It possesses an affinity as a beta-2 agonist, which has been shown to help stimulate weight loss. When combined with caffeine, it may have a synergistic effect on weight loss.
A study conducted in 2009 by Japanese scientists found that Cirsium Oligophyllum whole plant extract could produce a significant reduction in body fat mass, specifically subcutaneous fat mass. The study was published in the International Journal of Biological Sciences.
There is currently no standard dosage for Cirsium Oligophyllum. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage on any supplement containing this ingredient to avoid potential side effects. Exceeding the recommended serving may cause serious adverse health effects, including heart attack and stroke. Some potential side effects of Cirsium Oligophyllum include gas, which usually isn’t painful or long-lasting and doesn’t result in diarrhea
