Cistanche, also known as "Desert Ginseng," is a shrub-like plant native to the desert regions of Mongolia. The thick, fleshy stems are gathered in the spring, dried in the sun, and cut into slices for use in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a classic Yang tonic for low energy and drive. Cistanche stem contains potent antioxidants that promote healthy brain function, boost energy and foster immune health.
Research now attributes cistanche's powerful actions to its special compounds known as phenylethanoid glycosides and echinacosides. Our cistanche is a concentrated SuperPure® extract with verified activity of these compounds for optimal benefit. Since purity is paramount, we conduct extensive heavy metal and contaminant testing on our certified organic, non-GMO ingredient.
