The formula of Standardized Cistanche contains the plant extracts of Cistanche to support health aging factors and longevity. The echinacosides in this plant extract promote optimal immune senescence protection.
Standardized Cistanche provides powerful support against immune senescence. One characteristic feature of this age-related deterioration of the body's defense system is an imbalance of certain immune cell populations.
Scientists have discovered that echinacoside, a compound found in Cistanche plant extracts, can create a more balanced immune response. Echinacosides can stimulate the development of naive T cells and lead to a lower amount of memory T cells. The activity of NK, natural killer cells, another type of immune cells, is also enhanced by Cistanche, which results in a 15% lifespan increase in animal research.
A human study of a dietary supplement containing standardized Cistanche showed impressive gains in immune factors after supplementation for 12 weeks. Subjects experienced significant improvements, including an increase in natural killer cell activity by 11,7% and a 20,2% improvement in the ratio of CD4 to CD8 cells. An increased CD4/CD8 ratio is considered to indicate healthy, youthful immune function.
Life Extension® has created this standalone Standardized Cistanche for those seeking the effects of Cistanche only.
