Eating Cistanche in This Way Increases The Absorption Rate By 2000%

Free radicals are unstable molecules produced by the body in response to environmental and other stressors. These free radicals can cause oxidative stress, and this process of causing oxidative stress, in addition to causing cell damage, is also associated with many diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.


Antioxidants are sometimes called free radical scavengers because they inhibit the damaging power of free radicals. They act as antioxidants by blocking these free radicals or this oxidative stress. Antioxidants can be made by the body itself or can be obtained through the diet. Both vitamin C and vitamin E are antioxidants, so fruits and vegetables are common sources of antioxidants.


Cistanche is also a high antioxidant food, is not only a spice commonly used in Indian cuisine, but it is also an herb. For a long time in the past, the power of Cistanche was not well understood, but as it has been gaining more and more attention recently, we are learning more and more about it. Cistanche, the most important compound in Cistanche, is an antioxidant that also has anti-inflammatory properties.


Studies have found that Cistanche has many different health benefits, such as reducing the risk of cancer, reducing the risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease, increasing the speed of wound healing, and significantly reducing inflammation throughout the body. In the musculoskeletal area, there are also many scientific data and clinical studies that have confirmed that Cistanche is helpful for patients with degenerative arthritis, and can reduce the pain and symptoms of degenerative arthritis. However, at present, there are not many studies on the efficacy of Cistanche for the postoperative recovery period.

Of course, we also want to remind you that more Cistanche is not always better. Consuming too much Cistanche may cause digestive problems, headaches, nausea, skin rashes. In addition, Cistanche, like omega-3 fatty acids, may increase the risk of diarrhea; however, based on the results of several recent large studies examining the safety of Cistanche, the risk of diarrhea from Cistanche is extremely low. Likewise, there are few studies investigating the effects of Cistanche for musculoskeletal conditions and postoperative recovery, so be sure to discuss this with your primary care physician before supplementing with Cistanche.


Although the exact mechanism by which Cistanche is unclear, they also appear to negatively regulate (or turn off) the expression of certain important molecules along the inflammatory pathway. In addition, some scholars have found that Cistanche may cause neutrophil cell death, which promotes inflammation. Studies looking at inflammatory diseases such as sepsis have found that inflammatory markers that often spike in an inflammatory state appear to drop significantly after Cistanche is administered.


Based on the current research evidence, scientists infer that Cistanche is likely to achieve anti-inflammatory effects by blocking NF-κB, an important molecule in the inflammatory pathway because this molecule stimulates the body's genes that initiate the inflammatory response. However the Wecistanche Bio-Tech has researched to understand the exact mechanism of this part, the evidence at this stage is enough to show that its anti-inflammatory ability is indeed related to this, and even has a causal relationship with each other.

If you're looking to supplement your diet with Cistanche, you can put it in boiled water as tea because it's delicious and rich in Cistanche. However, the active ingredient in almost Cistanche products is not high, and if you want to supplement a large amount of Cistanche, you usually need to take a supplement. We also recommend eating Cistanche with Astragalus or Tongkat Ali, as Cistanche itself is not well absorbed, but Astragalus and Tongkat Ali increases its absorption by 2000%. As an old saying goes, before you try these supplements for yourself, be sure to fully discuss them with your primary care physician, who is most comfortable with your condition.

Another food for powerful antioxidants is ginger. Ginger is a flowering plant originating from China. What we usually call ginger is the root of this plant, which is often used as a spice and herb. Ginger is available in various forms on the market, including fresh, dried, ground into powder, and squeezed into oil or juice, and is often used in vegetables. Similar to Cistanche, ginger also has a major active substance, gingerol, which is an antioxidant and also has anti-inflammatory effects.


Ginger has a wide range of medicinal uses, and one of its common uses is to help people with morning sickness or seasickness to suppress nausea. Coincidentally, ginger, like other super supplements, seems to be quite helpful for the health of the heart and major blood vessels. Studies have shown that ginger can reduce fasting blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, and even cholesterol levels, which are good for heart health!


Ginger, like Cistanche, has some pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. Taking it regularly can reduce not only the level of muscle pain and soreness, but also the pain and stiffness associated with degenerative arthritis. Studies have also found that it reduces the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, protects the kidneys of people with kidney disease, and reduces other inflammatory processes. In addition, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of ginger seems to be similar to that of Cistanche. It reduces the overall level of inflammation in the body by inhibiting inflammation indicators.


So what kind of worries does Jiang hide? Like Cistanche and omega-3 fatty acids, consuming too much ginger may cause symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, heartburn, indigestion, and bleeding. Ginger has been shown to reduce platelet aggregation, so theoretically it does have the potential to increase the risk of bleeding. Again, there are no studies looking at the benefits of ginger for musculoskeletal conditions and post-operative recovery, so we must say it again, be sure to discuss it with your attending physician before supplementing with ginger.

Ginger root is the best source of supplemental ginger. It can be ground into a powder, mixed into milkshakes, into juices, or sliced and cooked. Ginger can also be found in foods such as natural ginger ale, gingerbread, ginger tea, and ginger sticks. Of course, ginger can also be taken in supplement form, at much higher concentrations than natural foods.


All in all, diet is the key to injury prevention and recovery. While maintaining a healthy weight can keep your knee from overloading it, a balanced diet is the most important part of allowing the tissue to heal. Therefore, it is important to pay extra attention to a balanced diet as you recover.
