Based on folk medicine and modern scientific experiments, many pharmaceutical researchers have done a lot of work on the anti-fatigue aspect of traditional Chinese medicine and explored its chemical composition and mechanism of action. Through extensive pharmacological research, it has been confirmed that Cistanche deserticola has strong anti-fatigue and physical enhancement effects, making it highly regarded in the fields of medicine and health products.

Yang Hongxin et al. observed Yang deficient mice taking decoction of Cistanche deserticola and found that their weight, number of independent activities, and swimming time increased. At the same time, the accumulation of blood lactate and urea acid after exercise was reduced, and the serum urea nitrogen content was significantly reduced, fully demonstrating that Cistanche deserticola has the effects of enhancing physical strength and anti-fatigue. Research has shown that Cistanche deserticola can protect the liver and promote physical recovery by reducing LDH5 (lactate dehydrogenase) activity, upregulating NOS3 (nitric oxide synthase) expression, and promoting liver glycogen synthesis. In addition, it can also exert anti-fatigue effects by reducing LAC (lactate) and BUN (blood urea nitrogen) after exercise. Cistanche deserticola can also alleviate the impact of high-intensity exercise on blood testosterone and maintain it at normal physiological levels; At the same time, it can also have an anti-fatigue effect by promoting protein synthesis, inhibiting amino acid and protein breakdown, increasing hemoglobin content, and glycogen reserves. Through experimental research, serum creatine kinase levels were measured in mice after load exercise, and the increase in the Cistanche deserticola group was significantly lower than that in the control group, indicating that Cistanche deserticola can reduce the high increase in serum creatine kinase levels in mice after load exercise. Observation of the skeletal muscle ultrastructure in mice after 90 minutes of load exercise showed that the cell membrane permeability remained normal, and there was no significant damage to the muscle fiber structure, confirming that Cistanche deserticola has anti-figue effects.
