Cistanche tubulosa is a desert plant that is considered parasitic in nature as it thrives off the water and nutrients of a host plant. Cistanche grows primarily in arid climates which inspired its nickname "desert ginseng." For centuries, Cistanche has been used in Traditional Chinese practices and has been cited in literature as having a myriad of benefits such as supporting healthy testosterone levels and vitality, as well as promoting strength and energy!
Cistanche tubulosa benefits may include:
While traditional uses primarily suggest that Cistanche tubulosa was used to promote strength and energy, some reports also claim that Cistanche may help promote cognitive function.* Until recently, much of the available data on these subjects would be considered anecdotal. However, research conducted over the last several years supports many of the reported benefits of taking a Cistanche tubulosa supplement.*
Echinacoside and Acetoside, the bioactive components in Cistanche, are believed to be responsible for Cistanche's health benefits! Fortunately, we have been able to create and standardize a highly potent Cistanche extract which is standardized to a minimum 50% Echinacoside and 10% Acetoside (Verbascoside).* It is also important to note that many other Cistanche supplements on the market do not test or standardize to these bioactive compounds that make Cistanche such a potent and highly sought after supplement for testosterone support and vitality.
In some studies it was concluded that Echinacoside notably supported overall testosterone levels and vitality while also demonstrating positive changes to strength and endurance. Across several trials, the Echinacoside group demonstrated more strength and endurance over control groups, further solidifying anecdotal claims. Acetoside was also found to support testosterone levels and to possess strength-promoting properties, making it a critical co-constituent for these benefits. Lastly, a Cistanche extract with Acetoside content appeared to also balance oxidation levels which may help support overall cognitive function.*

Works very well I'm actually impressed how well it actually works and have and will buy again I would recommend this for anyone wanting to boost test
I don't find cistanche to be stimulating. In fact, I take it in the evening because I find that it improves my sleep (in part because it helps me get back to sleep in the middle of the night). I cycle this 5 days on, 2 days off.
Really good product I'm very surprised how good it really is effective in 2 days. I will definitely buy again and again. Only complaint is a bigger container option would be nice.
Wanted to try this for its effect on the microbiome and inflammatory cytokines. Two days in I feel a mood lift which could be placebo but also a definite reduction in histamine release. I usually take something like zyrtec plus 4 other natural mast cell stabilizers but cistanche seems to be doing a better job already! Combines very well with cissus and teacrine but very poorly with luteolin complex. I stupidly took both cistanche and luteolin for the first time together, Resulted in a noticeable reduction in histamine release as well as a mood lift, but the mood lift gave way to strong fatigue accompanied by joint pain/inflammation. No issues at all without the luteolin! Going to keep this in rotation and aim for 4 days on 3 off.
I tried ND's Cistanche after reading a lot of information about Cistanche's potential for increasing Testosterone levels in men. After finishing my container, & using a decent dose nearly every day, I do not feel that my test levels were significantly raised. I did not do a lab test for testosterone, but I did not experience any telltale signs of test boost either.
This review is coming from a non-responder to regular Cistanche extracts. I’ve taken 20:1 extracts with not many effects but this is the first Cistanche extract that I can actually feel. Within 30-45 mins of taking I can hear my voice is deeper, I have slightly higher energy levels, and my libido and focus is slightly increased as well. For me it’s not something that will kickstart your energy like 200mg of caffeine but it gives a natural boost in energy. Seems like it has good effects on the brain and androgens. Others may respond stronger to this product. The product may also get stronger overtime with a cumulative effect which I have not yet experienced as I’ve only taken it for one day.
