Phenylethanoid glycosides

Phenylethanoid glycosides are the compounds researchers study in Cistanche tubulosa, led by echinacoside and acteoside. Our extract is standardised to 60% phenylethanoid glycosides, 20% echinacoside and 8% acteoside, and it’s tested for its active ingredients, heavy metals and microbiology.

The evidence

What the research says

Cistanche tubulosa has been studied for testosterone support, hormonal protection, hair density and cognitive function. These studies are linked for transparency and aren’t specific to our product. Individual results vary.

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2016 & J. Ethnopharmacology, 2020 — Animal studies

Testosterone Support from Cistanche Tubulosa Supplement

Early research suggests that cistanche tubulosa may support healthy testosterone levels. In animal models, supplementation with cistanche led to increased testosterone and greater activity of enzymes involved in steroid hormone production [study 1, study 2].

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2016 — Animal study

Cistanche Tubulosa and Hormonal Protection from BPA

A separate study in rodents found that cistanche tubulosa reversed testicular damage caused by BPA, a common chemical in plastics. BPA is known to interfere with hormone function. Cistanche appeared to restore testosterone synthesis in the affected animals [view study].

Clinical Nutrition Research, 2015 — Randomised controlled trial

Hair Density and Scalp Health

A clinical trial in 2015 evaluated the effects of a cistanche tubulosa supplement combined with Laminaria japonica. The 16-week protocol led to measurable improvements in hair density, thickness, and reductions in dandruff and scalp inflammation [view clinical study].

Evid. Based Complement. Alternat. Med., 2017 — Animal study

Cistanche Tubulosa and Cognitive Function

In preclinical research, cistanche tubulosa was shown to reduce the activity of monoamine oxidase, an enzyme that breaks down dopamine and serotonin. This mechanism is often targeted by medications used to support mental health. Further studies indicate cistanche may also help protect against neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s [view study].

Amazing

I bought this product with “Tongkat Ali” and use both as per the label instructions, 5 days on the 2 days off. Very very happy with the results after 3 weeks. Definitely helping in the gym. I was training 4 days a week, but have now gone to 5 days. Recovery seems to better and my overall volume has increased. Extremely impressed so far.

My number 1 supplement TONGKAT Ali

Hi,
This product has been a live changer for me and have been taking 1 capsule daily for 2 years - first thing in morning with a full glass of water. In the first 2 weeks I did not notice anything. I was turning 70 years old and noted early ED symptoms. Before taking this I listened intently to Dr Rachel a Urologist on Facebook on this complex topic. I addressed my already good diet but started taking nitric oxide boosters like watermelon and beetroot etc and RED TONIK.
After 2 weeks on TONGKAT ALI I noticed I felt EDGEY as in sexually alert. Later I noticed a weird occurrence - to my touch my balls felt marginally bigger as in more fluidity. I later learnt from Dr Rachel that 90% of testosterone is produced by the testes. Dr Rachael said that gently squeezing your testes expels testosterone which causes an erection. It worked. I never got blood tests to evaluate testosterone levels as I felt the supplement increase it! Also, I noted after many months later morning wood returning and general penis sensitivity returning. This complex topic also needs to address Kegel Excercises. I also take other testosterone producing supplements like Fenugreek, ASHWAGANDRA and MACA .
I believe all of these have different biochemical pathways to produce and increase testosterone levels in different ways. However, I belief TONGKAT ALI is the most important of all of these supplements.
I also found I am increasing my muscle mass for this age group.

Got questions?

Common questions

Real answers to the questions we get the most.

Does Cistanche Tubulosa increase testosterone?

Animal studies suggest Cistanche may promote testosterone synthesis by stimulating key enzymes involved in hormone production. While human data is still emerging, its testosterone-supportive potential is gaining attention among health-conscious users.

Is Cistanche Tubulosa safe?

Cistanche is generally well tolerated when taken in recommended amounts. However, due to limited long-term human studies, it’s advisable to consult your healthcare provider before starting if you have any medical conditions or are taking medication.

Is Cistanche a steroid?

No, Cistanche Tubulosa is a natural plant extract and not a synthetic steroid. Its effects are linked to naturally occurring bioactive compounds that may influence hormone pathways without the same risks as anabolic steroids.

When is the best time to take Cistanche Tubulosa?

Cistanche is commonly taken in the morning or early afternoon to support daytime energy and hormone function. It’s best consumed consistently, with or without food.

How should I take Cistanche?

For capsule form, follow the dosage instructions on the label, typically 400 mg once daily with food and water.

Can you take Cistanche and Tongkat Ali together?

Yes, many users combine Cistanche Tubulosa with Tongkat Ali to support testosterone and overall vitality. These ingredients may complement each other, but cycling and moderation are recommended. Consult a practitioner before stacking supplements.

What’s the difference between Cistanche tubulosa and Cistanche deserticola?

They’re two different species, and both are official sources of the traditional herb Cistanches Herba in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The pharmacopoeia sets a higher minimum level of echinacoside and acteoside for C. tubulosa than for C. deserticola, and research on one species doesn’t automatically apply to the other (source).
