Everything you need to know about Cistanche tubulosa, our products, and ordering.
About Cistanche
C. tubulosa has the highest concentration of echinacoside and acteoside among cultivated Cistanche species, and it's the species used in the most rigorous human clinical trials — including Memoregain®, a prescription cognitive drug approved in China. It's also sustainably farmed, not wild-harvested.
Dosage & Usage
Yes. Cistanche is not a male-specific supplement — its benefits for energy, cognition, immunity, and gut health apply broadly. However, it is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data in those contexts.
Yes. Cistanche stacks well with complementary adaptogens: Tongkat Ali (complementary testosterone pathways), Ashwagandha (added cortisol reduction), Shilajit (traditional synergy), and probiotics (enhanced gut-mediated benefits). No known negative interactions with common supplements.
Safety & Quality
Five things: (1) Species identified as C. tubulosa, (2) standardized echinacoside + acteoside content, (3) third-party Certificate of Analysis available, (4) no proprietary blends or undisclosed fillers, and (5) clear dosage per serving. Avoid products that don't specify species or lack third-party testing.
Yes. Cistanche is legal as a dietary supplement in the United States. In China, it holds dual food-medicine status and is listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2005, 2020 editions). In the EU, it was reviewed under the EFSA Novel Food assessment in 2021.
