I just had some questions about the "new cistanche stack." Will this be a new extract focusing in on more targeted effects of cistanche (testosterone, GH, stress reduction) or will it be a traditional stack offering a value way to purchase a combination of products?
I really loved the cistanche extract but the main issue I have with it is that I'm trying to lose weight but cistanche is only helping me put on weight and size. Yes, I'm more muscular but I have a desire to lose fat, but unfortunatly cistanche is spiking my hunger to an absurd level. It would be nice if nootropics depot could have an extract with the benefits of testosterone production without the ravenous hunger sides.

Thanks, I didn't realize the GH mechanism was similar to MK677, it seems hunger and GH are tied together closely. This explains my ravenous hunger during my teenage growth spurt.
What constituents will the new extract standardize for? (Trying to build more hype ;) )

Yes, very similar to MK. It's going to contain our existing Cistanche with non-extracted whole Cistanche powder. Since the science is not settled yet, we want to get any of the actives that are being lost in the extraction process. Whole Cistanche powder is the way to do that. Our partners have been able to still standardize the plant to a specific % actives, though. So even though it is not extracted, each batch will be standardized; very similar to our tiger milk mushroom. We're going to be doing more of that, because sometimes people say we go too potent in extraction, and lose some of the entourage effect compounds in the whole plant. Then we are also putting in the world's first supercritical CO2 Cistanche extract. There are a lot of volatile compounds in the Cistanche plant that are easy to lose in processing. Using supercritical CO2 allows us to make a concentrated extract, but keep those volatiles in. Then of course we are including other compounds that work synergistically with Cistanche. I actually ran out of my beta test samples, and I am sad. It works way better than our existing extract. Emiel said the same thing. It's one of the first times that he has gotten sad because he used up all his beta test sample. I was just waffling on whether or not people wanted one this advanced, or if they wanted a slightly less advanced one at a lower price. However, after really thinking about it, we love the effects too much to water it down just to lower the price a bit. So I green lit the production of the full on formula! Now we are moving on to beta testing our enhanced Tongkat Ali!
