Ultra-High Purity

Our purity levels are greater than 99%, ensuring our commitment to bringing you as high-quality of a product as possible. These purity levels are further confirmed by third party lab tests.

Standardized, Natural Compounds

Our Fermented Cistanche Tubulosa Extract is an all-natural vitality enhancer. Each 500mg capsule of our proprietary formulation is standardized to; 60% Echinacoside (300mg), 15% Acetoside (Verbsacoside) (75mg), 5% Tubuloside A (25mg), 5% Cistanoside A (25mg), and 15% Polysaccharides (75mg). We don't use any additives, synthetics, or fillers.

Consumption Safety

Research has shown that Cistanche Tubulosa is well-tolerated by the body.
