Desert Cistanche Drops
Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs
Overview
The effectiveness of Desert Cistanche Drops is based on preclinical studies and traditional use. While Cistanche deserticola shows promise in areas like neuroprotection and cognitive support in animal models, human clinical trials are limited, making definitive statements about its efficacy in humans challenging. The use of a proprietary extract formula also makes it difficult to ascertain the exact concentration of active compounds per serving.

The Bad
