Dietary Supplement Cistanche Extract Capsule Cistanche Extract
Products Description
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.

For use as a supplement for testosterone or cognitive function, we recommend taking two capsules (500 mg) per day with or without food. While higher doses can be taken safely, side effects are more likely at high dosages. We don’t recommend exceeding four capsules (1000 mg) per day.
