- Slimaluma (Brand Name)
Currently, the only human study used 1,000mg of a 14:1 concentrated extract (equivalent to 14g of the plant in dry weight). This dose appeared to be effective somewhat, and is currently the only lead for what oral dosage of supplementation is needed.
Caralluma fimbriata appears to require up to a month or so to work for appetite suppression.
