Sphaeranthus Indicus, also called East Globe Indian Thistle, is a herb that is becoming more popular in the weight loss industry. It is commonly used in Ayurveda medicine. While it is not used for weight management in the east, the west is focused on what it can do to help fight the epidemic of obesity. Individual people are interested in what it can do to help them fight their own weight problems.

Combined With Garcinia Mangostana

One study sought out to find the weight management benefits of Sphaeranthus Indicus and Garcinia Mangostana together. While 50 of the study’s participants took a placebo, the other 50 took a combination of the two ingredients. All of the participants ate three meals a day totaling 2000 calories, and they also walked for 30 minutes 5 times per week. The results showed that the group taking the herbs lost statistically significant more weight than the placebo group. Moreover, the reduction of waist and hip circumference had a great loss as well.
