Organic Cistanche Deserticola Extract
Organic Cistanche Deserticola extract is made from a desert-growing plant traditionally valued in Chinese herbal practice for its versatility. Recognized for centuries as a tonic, it has been associated with supporting vitality, cognitive function, and overall resilience. Two of its key active compounds, echinacoside (ECH) and acteoside (ACT), are phenylethanoid glycosides studied for their antioxidant and adaptogenic properties.

Cognitive Support – May help maintain memory, focus, and mental clarity, partly by supporting circulation and the activity of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is important for healthy neuronal function.
-
Energy and Vitality – Considered an adaptogen, it may help support energy levels and stamina by contributing to efficient cellular energy production and oxygen delivery to tissues.
-
Well-being and Mood – May help support a balanced mood by influencing key neurotransmitters linked to emotional well-being and mental alertness.
-
Adaptogenic Properties – Supports the body’s natural capacity to adapt to physical and mental stressors, promoting overall balance and resilience.

Safety & Cycling
Cistanche Deserticola extract is generally well tolerated when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Because it is an adaptogenic and circulation-supportive botanical, some people prefer to take it in cycles (e.g., several weeks on, followed by a short break) to maintain its effectiveness. Individuals sensitive to energizing plant compounds may wish to start with a lower serving to assess personal response.
