I'm interested for using it for school. I'm coming into Grade 12 and my memory sucks especially on subjects I'm not interested in.

How about the cissus? Still down the list?

Still working on it. The issue is standardizations and testing methods. I am not convinced ketosterones, or 3-ketosterone in particular, are the actual main actives in it.

In light of the above estimation studies, we believe that current standardization of Cissus extraction “3-ketosteroids” is incorrect. We also did not find any report suggesting the presence of androgenic steroids in this plant and hence the characterization based on “3-ketosteroids” is scientifically incorrect. This study highlights the insufficient understanding of biological active principles from CQ L. and underlines the need for extensive bioactivity guided studies.
So we kind of have to start from scratch on it, and do a ton more work to figure it out. I only want to bring something out if I am sure we are making a good extract. That appears to be a lot more difficult in this case.
