Cistanche tubulosa is a plant species that grows in the northwestern desert regions of China and similar arid regions of countries such as Iran, India and Mongolia. It lacks chlorophyll and is known as a parasitic herb - meaning it obtains nutrients and water from host plants whose roots it attaches to.
Cistanche is used as a Traditional Chinese Medicine and is known as the "ginseng of the deserts". In Traditional Chinese Medicine, cistanche is prescribed for a range of conditions including chronic renal disease, impotence and female infertility.
More than 100 compounds have been isolated and identified from cistanche. The major active compounds responsible for cistanche's hormone regulation properties are called phenylethanoid glycosides (PhGs).
