## Abstract

Methods and compositions using Dichrostachys glomerata or Cissus quadrangularis separately to provide a variety of health benefits, including but not limited to, increase GLP-1 levels and reduce or decrease visceral fat, food intake, blood lipids, total cholesterol and total glucose in a mammal. In one embodiment, a composition for reducing blood lipids in a mammal is provided where the composition comprises an effective amount of Dichrostachys glomerata provided as an oral dosage unit in the form of a pill, capsule, liquid, lozenge or tablet.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A composition for reducing blood lipids in a mammal, the composition comprising:
an effective amount of Dichrostachys glomerata;
wherein the composition is provided as an oral dosage unit in the form of a pill, capsule, liquid, lozenge or tablet.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of the composition is about 200 mg to 600 mg of Dichrostachys glomerata daily.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of the composition is about 2.6 mg of an extract of Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods, per kg of body weight of the mammal.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the Dichrostachys glomerata composition is an aqueous ethanol extract of Dichrostachys glomerata.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the Dichrostachys glomerata composition is comprised of Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the Dichrostachys glomerata composition is comprised of dried Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is provided to a mammal for at least 2 weeks.

### Claim 8

A composition for reducing blood lipids in a mammal, the composition comprising:
an effective amount of an extract of Dichrostachys glomerata;
wherein the composition is provided as an oral dosage unit in the form of a pill, capsule, liquid, lozenge or tablet.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The composition of claim 8, wherein the effective amount of the composition is about 2.6 mg of an extract of Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods, per kg of body weight of the mammal.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The composition of claim 8, wherein the Dichrostachys glomerata composition is an ethanol extract of Dichrostachys glomerata.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The composition of claim 8, wherein the extract of Dichrostachys glomerata composition is comprised of an extract of Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The composition of claim 8, wherein the extract of Dichrostachys glomerata composition is comprised of an extract of dried Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The composition of claim 8, wherein the composition is provided to a mammal for at least 2 weeks.

### Claim 14

A method for reducing blood lipids in a mammal, the method comprising:
providing or prescribing an effective amount of an extract of Dichrostachys glomeratafruit pods;
wherein the composition is provided or prescribed as an oral dosage unit in the form of a pill, capsule, liquid, lozenge or tablet.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the effective amount of the composition is about 2.6 mg of an extract of Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods, per kg of body weight of the mammal.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the extract of Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods composition is an ethanol extract of the Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods.

### Claim 17 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the extract of Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods is obtained from dried Dichrostachys glomerata fruit pods.

### Claim 18 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the composition is provided or prescribed to a mammal for at least 2 weeks.

### Claim 19 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the composition is provided or prescribed to a mammal for at least 3 weeks.
