Caigua is native to Peru and is also called the wild cucumber.

It has various traditional medicinal usages, mainly to:

• Control cholesterol

• Reduce obesity

• Control high blood pressure

• Regulates the metabolism of lipids and sugar in the blood stream,decreasing cholesterol

Caigua reduces blood cholesterol levels, especially light cholesterol (LDL) that is accumulated in arteries as lipoprotein components which are determinative agents on arteriosclerosis processes. It is doubly beneficial since it reduces LDL cholesterol (known as the bad type), while it has been shown in various clinical studies that it increases the HDL cholesterol (known as the good type). This double effect makes caigua an ideal compound for helping to control more adequate levels of blood cholesterol.

It has been said it is the most natural and the most potent fat absorber and it is consumed to rejuvenate & reduce cellulite.
