Cistanche Tubulosa, also known as desert ginseng, is a holoparasitic plant which completely lacks chlorophyll and survives by growing on and absorbing nutrients from a host plant. Cictanche Extract has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine and has recently gained popularity in the west for its beneficial properties to testosterone levels and cognitive function. Cistanche Tubulosa is an especially rich source of echinacosides and acteosides which both support both BDNF and healthy testosterone levels. Our Cistanche Extract is standardized to 10% echinacodises and 1% acteosides. 1
