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.*

This stacks well with others such as Kava, Magnolia, Tribulius, HGW, etc. I notice a sense of calm but no real drowsiness. It's a good one to have in your rotation and more often than not I might add
The first few days I took this it was nice, I slept good but shorter than usual. I didn’t mind this at first since like I said, I slept good. After about 2 weeks I started getting insomnia. I thought no big deal, I’ll cycle off for a few weeks. As soon as I got back on cycle after 3 weeks I had insomnia after 3-4 days. My insomnia only started when I added this to my regimen; and it only stopped after I stopped using it. I also found increased anxiety and heart palpitations an hour after taking this at night. This is not the case for most people, I might be the odd one out, but still something to keep in mind.
Cistanche works as described. I take it once daily with Tongkat. Within two weeks I noticed increased muscle gains, increase strength, decreased joint pain, decreases in DOMS, and increased libido. Not much change in mood or energy - I know that other folks have stated those as benefits. Also, ND has been one of the best vendors I have ever ordered from. They are setting the standard for customer service and quality of product in my opinion.
Very good product to use for strength gains by increasing testosterone and GH production. When used at the right time this product will give great results
Great for my mood, helps me sleep, resolved a long running issue with constipation, with zero side effects. If I could only buy one supplement forever it’d be this.
Leveling me up 2 tablets at a time (flex emoji)
After taking for a few days noticed a positive mood and energy boost. Has good synergy with other stacks as well. I would compare it to a less aggressive tongkat ali, which is perfect for me as I love tongkat ali but have to cycle off when I start feeling like a feral wolverine lol. Cistanche may be more sustainable in the long run.
Used for last 10 days Feeling difference
This product is a fantastic product that helps me recup and revive after a long weekend of hiking or a heavy day at work or the gym. This product helps me bounce back quicker and feel better. Great product
