A powerful modern version of an ancient Asian tonic

Rejuvenate mind and body!

Traditionally used by Chinese herbalists

From one of the most esteemed plants in the ancient Chinese herbal traditions comes a powerful new tonic to rejuvenate mind and body: Cistanche Tubulosa Extract. Although Cistanche tubulosa is a relative newcomer to the Western world, it has been treasured for more than 1,800 years by traditional Chinese herbalists, who sometimes refer to it as “Desert Ginseng” because it is considered an excellent tonic for fighting fatigue and promoting mental and physical vitality. In fact, many people credit regular consumption of Cistanche for the remarkable longevity of the people in the Hotan region of the Takla Makan Desert, where the percentage of people living past 100 years of age is the highest in all of China and more than three times that of Okinawa, Japan, which has long been world famous for the longevity of its people.

The versatile herb, which is said to possess both yin and yang-enhancing characteristics, has traditionally been used for a wide variety of applications including cardiovascular, mental, kidney, and GI tract support, immune system reinforcement and for promoting sexual vitality in both men and women. Modern scientific analysis has revealed that Cistanche tubulosa features a number of bioactive constituents including phenylethanoid glycosides, echanicosides and acteosides, which may account for the diverse range of the herb’s traditional uses. Our extract is standardized to a mimimum 60% phenylethanoid glycosides, 20% echinacosides and 6% acteosides.
