Cistanche deserticola is a precious and rare parasitic medicinal herb that has the effects of nourishing kidney yang, nourishing essence and blood, moistening intestines, and promoting bowel movements. It is commonly used to treat male impotence, female infertility, blood avalanche, vaginal discharge, lower back and knee cold pain, muscle and bone weakness, and blood stasis and constipation. It is known as "desert ginseng". Modern research shows that it can improve renal function, enhance memory, fight against senile dementia, anti-aging, anti-fatigue, and regulate immune function.

Enhance memory, prevent and treat senile dementia

With the aging of China's population and the continuous increase of cerebrovascular diseases, the incidence rate of Alzheimer's disease is on the rise. Coupled with the fierce competition in modern society, everyone is under great pressure, which leads to the rapid growth of the incidence rate of memory loss and fatigue syndrome. How to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease in the early stages, and how to prevent memory loss have become topics of concern for scientists around the world. After more than ten years of research, our company's researchers have found that Cistanche deserticola has a significant effect on improving learning and memory, and has a significant therapeutic effect on memory decline and senile dementia.

It mainly improves memory and prevents senile dementia in four ways:

1. Protect nerve cells and inhibit their apoptosis;

2. Promote the growth and repair of nerve cells;

3. Increase the release of neurotransmitters in the brain;

4. Improve cerebral circulation.

A large number of animal experiments have shown that the extract of Cistanche deserticola has a significant effect on improving learning and memory abilities in normal animals, elderly animals, and various model animals. Nowadays, we have made a series of extracts from the active ingredients of Cistanche deserticola, which can be used as raw materials for health products or food supplements. Cistanche deserticola not only serves as a neuroprotective agent and brain circulation improver but also has anti-fatigue effects. It is very useful for mental workers as well as patients with memory loss and early-stage dementia.

Relaxing the stool does not harm the body

effects of cistance-treat constipation

Another important function of Cistanche deserticola is to moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, which can be used to treat intestinal dryness and constipation. And its laxative effect is very obvious. Generally, taking it for 1-2 days for constipation can take effect. Modern research indicates that the laxative effect of Cistanche deserticola is mainly achieved through two pathways:

Firstly, increase intestinal osmotic pressure, reduce water absorption, and make stool softer;

Secondly, promote intestinal peristalsis and shorten defecation time. This makes the laxative effect of Cistanche deserticola different from other laxative traditional Chinese medicines such as rhubarb and senna leaves. It is not to laxize, but to moisten and soften the intestines, making it easier to excrete. So Cistanche deserticola can facilitate defecation without harming the body, especially suitable for elderly people with constipation, postpartum women, and those with weak and sickly conditions. Of course, it is also suitable for constipation in the general population.

Anti-aging, stay away from sub-health

Poor renal function can affect lung health

Pharmacological studies have shown that Cistanche deserticola has significant anti-aging effects. Cistanche deserticola extract not only significantly reduces the content of lipid peroxides (LP0) in the human body, but also has a significant inhibitory effect on the generation of lipid peroxides in rabbit blood and mouse liver, and can significantly prolong the lifespan of fruit flies. The polysaccharides and mannitol in desert deserticola can increase the content of hydroxyproline in mouse skin and delay skin aging. The aging model mouse experiment showed that Cistanche deserticola extract has a significant improvement effect on the volume of liver cell ultrafine particles and the ultrafine particles in the cerebral cortex.

Why can Cistanche deserticola have antioxidant and anti-aging properties? Japanese scholar Shigeru Menda has confirmed through research that the phenylethanol glycosides contained in the extract of Cistanche deserticola are free radical scavengers. The active ingredients of antioxidants.

Protecting the liver and being a great tonic for the body

Morita Shigeru and others also found through research that the active extract obtained from Cistanche deserticola has hepatoprotective activity. Further research by Chinese scholar Zhang Hongquan has confirmed that polysaccharides from Cistanche deserticola can significantly improve appetite loss and weight loss in mice, reduce excessive levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, and combat liver damage caused by carbon tetrachloride.

Among the kidney tonifying formulas of all dynasties, Cistanche deserticola has the highest frequency of use. Modern pharmaceutical research has shown that Cistanche deserticola extract can significantly prolong the freezing time of Yang deficient animals, increase the mating frequency and ejaculation rate of stress-induced sexual dysfunction mice, and also significantly increase the weight of the seminal vesicles and prostate in rats with testicles removed. The effective ingredients in Cistanche deserticola that have the function of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang are phenylethanolamine glycosides, such as echinoside and piloside.

It mainly works through two pathways:

Firstly, enhances the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal gland, promotes the release of relevant neurotransmitters and hormones in the body, and increases sexual desire;

Secondly, it has the function of anti-fatigue and improving physical functions.

In addition, the kidney-tonifying effect of Cistanche deserticola is different from other kidney-tonifying drugs such as Suoyang, Epimedium, and Morinda officinalis. The difference lies in two points.
