What is Caigua
It is a native plant from Peru some times also named as wild cucumber, .actually used to prepare a very
popular the creole meal named as "Guiso Caigua" or
"Caigua Rellena", but the folklore medicine medicinal
applications to reduce f high cholesterol, high blood pressure
and for weight loss the treatments.The Caigua it is classifed
for the modern world as an alernative medicine
t's been used by ancient peruvians as alternative natural medicine
for several centuries, and is currently being used safely by
millions of people.
Will
reduce your overweight and burn fat in a easy and natural way.
No risks, no side effects 100% natural .
Summary
ß-sitosterol is probably the most abundant esterol of plants
and widely distributed. Diverse studies have demonstrated
his clinical effectiveness as agent capable of diminishing
levels of cholesterol, as well as in the treatment of the hiperplasia
prostate benign. The vegetables of the diet constitute one
daily source of ß-sitosterol. In the present work it was compared
content of ß-sitosterol in different constituent vegetables
of the western diet, using cromatografía in layer fi na and
later cuantifi có his content across HPLC with
detection espectrofotométrica.
The analysis of eight vegetables of habitual consumption in the population
Chilean, it showed that chick-peas, lentils, porotos and peas presented
the biggest contents of ß-sitosterol. In accordance with
our results and considering the therapeutic utility that
it has described for the esteroles of plants, it would seem advisable
as measurement profi lactic, to increase the consumption of some of
these vegetables in capable populations. Additionally,
modifi presents an analytical methodology every for the measurement
direct of ß-sitosterol in vegetable extracts.
USES
Lose Weigh
Reduce high cholesterol
Eliminate LDL
Reduce Hypertension
SIDE EFFECTS
No side effects have been reported until this time but Caigua it is not suggested for pregnants
PROPERTIES:
- Hypoglicemic effect .
- Hipotensive effect.
- Lipotropic effect.
Earlier studies demostrates that the Peruvian "Caigua" as a sterols of
vegetal origin (as for instance phytosterol) positively influence
absorption of both cholesterols (endogenous and exogenous) reducing
further risks dramatically of cholesterol Biosynthesis is of
vital importance to the human organism, as it remains in many
of our organs ( like the liver, skin, intestines and arterials)
being therefore predecessor of many illnesses.
Hipercolosterolemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia
are commonly related with the risk of coronary heart diseases,
a risk that grows with age, but also during menopause in case
of women.
The Cayetena Heredia University in Peru found evidence that
ingestion of andean Caigua has reduced the cholesterol dramatically.
Other advanced studies demostrate
how the high content of flavonoids may helt to reduce cholesterol
Most flavonoids have anti-germ
activity. Immuno-Shield is an immune system product formulated
by Dr. Sahelian that has flavonoids and several immune herbs
and nutrients..
It is well known that most flavonoids have anti-cancer properties. and a powerful Anti-oxidant
Flavonoids are powerful antioxidants. Extracts from onion and
various flavonoids induce the cellular antioxidant system. Onion
extract and quercetin were able to increase the intracellular
concentration of glutathione by approximately 50%.
Research
There is an extensive research that include blind testing about the Peruvian Caigua done by an Italian University Research team
Analysis of flavonoids from the "Caigua" Cyclanthera
pedata fruits by liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry.
This method is based on the separation of flavonoid glycosides
present in the methanolic extracts from C. pedata fruits using
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) followed by detection
with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS). Chromatographic
separation of the analytes of interest was achieved on a Symmetry
C-18 column with detection in positive ion mode. Calibration
graphs were obtained by determining the area ratio between external
standard of each major compound and the internal standard naringine.
Due to the sensitivity and the repeatability of the assay, this
method is suitable for industrial quality control of raw materials
and final products.

six new natural compounds (1-6), from the MeOH extract of the
fruits of Cyclanthera pedata is reported. All of the structures
were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including the concerted
application of one-dimensional (1)H-(1)H total correlation spectroscopy,
(1)H-(1)H nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy), and (13)C-(13)C
DEPT-NMR and two-dimensional NMR techniques (double-quantum
filtered correlated spectroscopy, rotating-frame Overhauser
enhancement spectroscopy, heteronuclear single quantum coherence,
and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation). A comparative
study of seeds and fruits has been also carried out.

Oct. 30, 2002 -- Pills made from
dried Peruvian cucumber ( Cyclatera Pedata ) can help your heart, a supplement manufacturer
claims. Now a prominent nutritionist says the claim may be true.
The caps are called Caigua or andean caigua . They
contain dried caigua -- a hollow, cucumber-shaped plant from
Peru.
A small 1995 study by Peruvian doctors suggested that
the pills cut "bad LDL cholesterol" levels by a third
and raise "good" HDL cholesterol levels by more than
a third.
Barbara Levine, PhD, co-director
of the Human Nutrition Program at New York's Rockefeller University,
says this is a very impressive result. She hasn't spoken with
the Peruvian researchers but notes that their findings appeared
in a respected journal -- The Journal of the North American
Menopause Society.
"What was interesting to me
is it had a potent effect in raising HDL and lowering LDL,"
Levine tells WebMD. "That is extensive for a dietary supplement.
I have seen blood studies of patients in the U.S. who took Cycladol,
and that is what we are seeing. This is really good. I do have
a number of patients' charts showing actual lipid effects, and
it corroborates the study findings."
Levine stresses that people who
are taking cholesterol-lowering drugs should not switch to the
supplement. And though she always advises people to check with
a doctor before taking nutritional supplements, she says that
Cycladol appears to be safe.
The 1995 study, by Gustavo F. Gonzales,
MD, and colleagues of Cayetano Heridia University in
Lima, Peru, found that it took daily doses of six caigua capsules
to lower cholesterol. The study lasted 12 weeks.
Meanwhile, Lichtenstein says that
the best nutritional advice for people worried about cholesterol
is to follow a heart-healthy diet. According to the American
Heart Association, such a diet calls for:
* Limiting saturated fats to 7%-10%
of the day's total calories.
* Limiting total fats to 30% or less of the day's total calories.
* Eating fewer than 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day.
* Limiting sodium intake to 2,400 milligrams a day.
* Asking a dietitian -- or your doctor -- to tell you the right
number of daily calories you need to stay healthy and reduce
your cholesterol.

I have a whole new life!” – Cindy Bell., Phoenix, AZ
“Wow, this stuff really works. I was a bit skeptical
at first, but in week one I lost 7 pounds and now that a month has gone
by I need smaller clothes. I’ll definitely be ordering another bottle
of Caigua tabs in a few weeks when I get low. Thanks for everything.”
– Stephany Toranz. Bakersfield, CA
“I've dieted my
entire life with mixed success. I inevitably cheat, but with CAIGUA
tabs., I don't have cravings or the "urge to splurge". After
five weeks, everything feels better in my life. My energy is up, my
self confidence has skyrocketed, and I have the body I had in high school.
I can't thank you enough for bringing ephedra back to those who really
need it.” – Donald Duffiene,Boston, MA
“I just wanted to
write to you guys to tell you how great Caigua, works for me. I’ve been
over-weight most of my life and refuse to diet. I want to eat real food,
not diet stuff. Your pills let me loose the weight without eating salads
every day and I can’t thank you enough. I feel so much better. I might
not be skinny (yet), but I’m not fat anymore.” – Peggy Foster., Abliene, TX
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ve tried a dozen
diets and go on walks, but just could never lose that last 10 pounds.
With your product it came off in just a few weeks, and it’s stayed off.
What can I say? You’re the best!” -- Mike Uribe., Houston, Tx
“Thanks for shipping
my new refill bottle so quickly. I don’t want anything to get in the
way of this weight loss. I’m not as hungry now, and can keep my eating
down to 1200 calories a day. Combine that with the fat burning pill
and the pounds are still coming off. I’m only 10 more pounds away from
my ideal weight. Couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks.” -- Paul
Lambranks., Detroit, MI
