Function

People use the versatile organic cistanche deserticola supplement for a variety of reasons.

1. Cognitive Function. The root may enhance cognitive function by boosting blood flow to the brain and promoting the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein essential for the growth and maintenance of neurons. Studies have shown that cistanche may improve memory, attention, and focus, contributing to cognitive health.
2. Energy Enhancement. Cistanche is considered an adaptogen, a substance that helps the body adapt to stress and improve overall resilience. It may enhance energy levels by stimulating the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of cells. Additionally, it may improve circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues, further contributing to increased energy levels.
3. Increased Desire. The extract has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to improve sexual health, particularly in men. Studies have shown that cistanche may enhance erectile function, increase semen volume, and improve sperm motility, contributing to overall sexual well-being.
4. Mood Regulation. The root has been shown to increase levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters that play a role in mood regulation. Serotonin is often referred to as the “happiness neurotransmitter,” while norepinephrine is associated with alertness and focus. By increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters, cistanche may help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance cognitive function.
5. Increased Neurotrophin. These are a group of proteins that are essential for the growth, survival, and function of neurons. Cistanche deserticola has been shown to increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a particularly important neurotrophin for maintaining cognitive health. By increasing BDNF levels, it may help protect neurons from damage and promote their regeneration.
