Cistanche Tubulosa Extract FAQs

Q1. Can women safely use this extract for hormonal balance?

Absolutely. Cistanche supports endocrine regulation in women without androgenic effects, commonly aiding menstrual regularity and stress resilience at 200-400mg daily doses. Discontinue during pregnancy.

Q2. How long before noticing improved energy levels?

Most users report reduced fatigue within 2-3 weeks. Optimal vitality benefits emerge after 6-8 weeks of consistent use as glycosides accumulate in tissues.

Q3. Will it interact with blood pressure medications?

Potential mild hypotensive effects exist. Consult your physician if using antihypertensives like ACE inhibitors, as synergistic effects may require dosage adjustments.
