7-Keto DHEA is a metabolite of the adrenal steroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). It is almost identical in chemical structure to DHEA and is converted to its form from DHEA in a two stage process. Scientific research has indicated its immune system boosting and memory enhancing effects. Some cells of the immune system use chemical messages in the form of cytokines which signal the whole immune system to go into “battle mode”. 7-Keto DHEA has been shown to increase the production of the cytokine IL-2 which regulates the T-Helper cells. Studies on mice have shown that when this chemical was administered along with a memory abolishing chemical like the scopolamine, the mice were able to resist memory loss.

Hoodia Gordonii was prominent for it appetite suppressing effect and hence was collaborated with Pfizer, a pharmaceutical company to deal with obesity. However, it was stopped as it is stated to have indications of effects on liver. Hoodia Gordonii is wild harvested by individuals as well as by few companies that are granted license. However, there is no evidence of Hoodia working in humans as appetite suppressant. Due to the lack of clarity and fear of breaking down of liver, it is not recommended for obesity.

Vegetable Cellulose is a commercial product designed to act as filler or a disintegrant and consequently finds use in making capsule sheaths. It is made by chemically modifying cellulose which is the durable material that makes plant cell walls. Biochemically cellulose is a long chain carbohydrate composed of bonded monosaccharide units. Vegetable cellulose is manufactured by introducing certain chemical groups in the otherwise simple chemical structure of cellulose. The most common raw material used to produce vegetable cellulose is wood pulp from soft wood trees, such as gymnosperms. Its most important benefit is in the pharmaceutical industry where it is used to make capsules. The capsule itself tastes neutral but masks the taste of a very unpleasant tasting powdered drug placed inside it and to add to this, the human body cannot process cellulose so it does not undergoes any sort of metabolism in out body and passes out with your faeces.
