Product Description

Cistanche Tubulosa (Schenk) R. Wight is a plant that parasitizes the roots of Tamarix. Since it has no root or chloroplast, it cannot photosynthesize. Therefore, it
grows by absorbing the nutrition out of plants it parasitizes. In China, Cistanche Tubulosa is known as a rare Panax ginseng found in deserts and used as a pharmaceutical to cure Alzheimer's disease. In Japan, Cistanche Tubulosa has been
categorized as a food after its food/pharmaceutical classification was revised by the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry in ***5. It belongs to Cistanche, Orobanchaceae,
same as the parasitic plant Cistanche salsa used in Chinese herbal medicine. According to the Chinese Comprehensive Pharmaceutical Dictionary, it supplements renal function,
increases sexual power, and smoothes the intestines. The dictionary also states that it treats impotence, infertility, menstrual disorder, and psychroalgia of the back and knees.
Cistanche salsa has been widely used clinically as a prescribed drug for supplementing renal function and nutritional fortification in China.
