Nootropics Depot Cistanche Supercritical CO2 Extract Capsules | 20% Echinacoside + 20% Verbascoside (Acetoside) | 60 Count

Great product! Thanks

I use supplements to help close the gap between modern nutrition levels in our food and the levels that were there when I was young. But, in my opinion, the supplement industry has both some of the highest integrity companies, and some of the lowest. So I try and give a detailed enough review to get to know the company and product better, to help you determine for yourself whether or not you want to try this one out.This small bottle comes entirely encased in plastic. Normally I don't like that, but at least it keeps Amazon from putting their label on top of the bottle's label, usually right over the information I need to read. It comes about 2/3 full.If used as directed it will last two months.The "best by" date on mine (THANK YOU for not printing it on the bottom!) is Sep 2027.The capsules have a slight herbal (?) scent and taste, though I'm not sure if that's the capsules or the residue inside the bottle.I like my supplements to say organic, non-GMO, GMP-certified, 3rd-party tested, and made in the USA. This says none of those. The product page says GMO free, Made in Arizona, GMP certified, and 3rd party lab tested.I look into the supplement companies I use because I've come across so many questionable ones. Their nootropicsdepot site is functional and informative. I like the website to have a phone number, or at least a chat feature; this has a version of the latter. It also introduces you to their medical advisory board, their 3rd party lab, podcast, blog, and has a guide to help you determine which supplement may or may not benefit you.I seem to take longer than most to see results when starting a new supplement, but I am impressed by the company and the ingredients, including the lack of fillers that many companies say they need to use, but the manufacturers of the highest quality supplements that I am aware of refuse to. They also offer certificates of analysis and other certificates for their products.The price may seem high, but it's for two months' worth, not just one, and from an established company.Thank you for reading, I hope it was helpful.

I added this to my pre-workout stack and have been taking it mid-morning on an empty stomach on non-training days. After around three weeks, I feel like it is doing something, but it's hard to say for sure. I do feel more energy and clarity of mind, particularly on non-training days when I'll have some coffee but not other supplements. I really like Nootropics Depot and I love the idea of this supplement. Again, I am definitely liking taking it as well. Unfortunately, it's not changing my life to the point where I will pay fifty bucks per month to take it. I wish I had that kind of cheddar; I would keep this in my arsenal for sure.

Nootropics Depot is a highly rated company with a great reputation. This goes a long way when selecting supplements. I would look to them as one of the top option for any supplement. I wasn't even familiar with this and only looked into it after ordering this. It certainly has a lot of claims that everyone would benefit from. As I've gotten older, most supplements look good and should be good for me but I can hardly notice any difference. This was a little bit of an exception. I would say that I did notice a difference in energy. It wasn't a significant difference but something I noticed early on. I'll find out soon when the bottle is used up (2 month supply) if I see a decline once I stop.Anyway, I also like that these are 1 small capsule each day and is a 60 day supply. I have not experienced any side effects with these.

I completed a two-month trial of the Cistanche supplement. Capsules from the Nootropics Depot Store are small and easy to swallow. While the supplement may seem costly, it provides a two-month supply. The combination of Echinacoside and Verbascoside delivers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that go beyond what mainstream antioxidants like Resveratrol or Vitamin C do. I like the results, and despite the cost, I will order this supplement again for next year's winter.

The ingredients in this supplement, echinacoside and acetoside, are touted as having anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunity benefits. There has also been some research that enchinacoside may have neuro-protective properties. I have used products from Nootropics Depot in the past, and I have found them to be a reputable company. I have only used the supplement for a short period, and I cannot assess whether I have seen benefits yet, but I have not experienced any side effects and will continue to use. A serving size is one capsule – and there are 60 capsules per bottle.

This seems to be a decent quality quercetin/bromelain blend so far.- Capsules are easy to swallow- No odd aftertaste or ill effects- Price is VERY high for a Cistanche product- Label has GMP stamp and claims 3rd party lab tested (however I haven't seen the COA yet)I haven't had any problem taking these, but I'm only giving 3 stars for now due to high price and until I have a chance to view a COA from the company for this product. If/when I receive that, I'll revise my review accordingly.

Cistanche has been used as traditional medicine for centuries for its health benefits to support cognitive function, improve immune system, boost libido and energy level. The supercritical CO2 extraction is a technological method used to extract the bioactive compounds, such as Echinacoside and Acteoside, from the Cistanche plants.The supplement is from a known brand that I do have positive experiences with their other products.This small supplement bottle comes double-sealed. The serving size is one capsule per day. The capsules are small and very easy to swallow, with no bad aftertaste. It is made in Arizona, with third party lab tested. The expiration date on the bottle is about three years from now. Hope the information is helpful.
