Cistanche Tubulosa Reviews
Cistanche Tubulosa grows in the Takla Makan Desert in Hsinchiang Uighur Autonomous Region, China. It has a very strong vital energy to flower and fruit under severe desert conditions. Its host tamarix grows to 6 meters tall and has small, dark pink flowers. This plant is used to protect against wind and sand (prevents the spread of yellow sand) in desert regions. Cistanche Tubulosa is now considered to be the key to greenification of deserts and prevention of global warming and the Chinese government recommends the incubation of Cistanche Tubulosa to stimulate local industries.
Cistanche Tubulosa (Schenk) R. Wight is a plant that parasitizes the roots of Tamarix. Since it has no root or chloroplast, it cannot photosynthesize. Therefore, it grows by absorbing the nutrition out of plants it parasitizes. In China, Cistanche Tubulosa is known as a rare Panax ginseng found in deserts and used as a pharmaceutical to cure Alzheimer's disease. In Japan, Cistanche Tubulosa has been categorized as a food after its food/pharmaceutical classification was revised by the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry in 2005. It belongs to Cistanche, Orobanchaceae, same as the parasitic plant Cistanche salsa used in Chinese herbal medicine. According to the Chinese Comprehensive Pharmaceutical Dictionary, it supplements renal function, increases sexual power, and smoothes the intestines. The dictionary also states that it treats impotence, infertility, menstrual disorder, and psychroalgia of the back and knees. Cistanche salsa has been widely used clinically as a prescribed drug for supplementing renal function and nutritional fortification in China. However, collecting the valuable crude drug Cistanche salsa has become difficult recently. Therefore, there is a growing awareness about Cistanche Tubulosa which belongs to the same family and has been reported to have similar effects and functions as Cistanche salsa.
Chemical Constitution of Cistanche Tubulosa Extract
The main effective ingredients of Cistanche Tubulosa extract are phenylethanoid glycosides, especially echinacoside and acteoside. Although echinacoside is known as the main component of the herb Echinacea, Cistanche Tubulosa contains a higher amount of echinacoside than any other plant. Acteoside (a type of polyphenols) has an extremely strong antioxidative property which is reported to be 15 times stronger than resveratrol (polyphenols contained in grapes) and 5 times stronger than vitamin C1). In recent study, new compounds (kankanoside and others) have been isolated and vasorelaxing activity has been reported as a pharmacological action of the new compounds, echinacoside, and acteoside.
