This is why we are releasing optimized versions of things like Tribulus and Cistanche before we go to the full testosterone stack. We are getting more data and feedback on new ingredients before we go all out for the com

Cistanche deserticola is an endangered species, and is on the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) Appendix 2. This means that international trade is more restricted. Also, the strain of Cistan

The one you bought is more potent for actives, but some customers have said that we sometimes go too potent and standardized with our products. Because of that, we are making an effort to bring out more non-extracted and

I do not find it energizing in the traditional sense. The one main thing I have noticed with CistaMAX that I have not with the other two Cistanches on their own in an increase in hunger. It very much had a hunger effect

The non-extracted Cistanche is nice. It feels more rounded than our original Cistanche extract, but CistaMAX is absolutely the more potent and acutely effective of the three. It contains all three extracts, but with shia

I've gone back and forth on it. It's a very very expensive we designed ourselves based on reading some research. We are still working on some science with it. The main reason we made it is because some studies found that

I would love that, but we have to be strategic about what we spend on right now. We are in the process of designing a placebo-controlled clinical trial of Erinamax first. I was also wanting to do Cognance. I wouldn't be

We went back and forth on a lot of names. We couldn't come up with anything better for an optimized Cistanche that would be recognizable.

Yep! I have to be careful with Longvida if I am on a very AMPK heavy stack, or I get anxiousness.

So the reason we are starting to offer more non-extracted whole spectrum versions of things is multi-fold. For one, some customers have said that our products are too potent, and would prefer to have a tested and trusted

MK-677 is likely stronger at the ghrelin receptor, based on my personal experience with its effects. I get more hungry on MK-677 than I do on CistaMAX. However, I am not sure on GH release, since they have never been com

Memory and mood in healthy subjects, which are difficult endpoints to reach statistical significance in placebo-controlled trials.

I've actually switched to taking CistaMAX in the evening for that reason, and I like that regimen. I don't wait till bed, but in the evening before dinner. I also take it with 1,000mg GABA, and the GH effects are VERY st

AMPK over-activation can cause anxiousness, yes. This is a good paper discussing AMPK, and the various things that activate it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4855276/ That's interesting to hear about the

Yes, we have a focus stack planned, along with memory, longevity, mood, etc.

Glad to hear you are getting such great results! It's really awesome when you finally find that stack that works for your individual body/brain chemistry. Our 9% reishi is really so much more potent than anything else on

Sometimes, but only slight. When combined with CistaMAX it is a much stronger flushed feeling. When I used to inject CJC-1295 and ipamorelin, I would get that flush if I also took a dopaminergic with it. Increased dopami

We'll have a third negative control group for you, where we just give you Xanax, but tell you we gave you Cognance! LOL

Most people don't want to shut their natural production down, and testosterone is only a small part of the mechanism behind that stack. There is a lot more than just increasing testosterone.

GH is only one of the mechanisms of Cistanche, so you would be getting all the other benefits by taking CistaMAX.

Tongkat ali doesn't shut down your body's natural production of testosterone like TRT does. Some people cycle it, but others use it daily. The biggest issue I see is that some people can have their estrogen drop with Ton

>but the new cistanche is just a whole plant extract and not zoned in on a particular compound? Correct. This is a non-extracted full spectrum whole Cistanche powder. It will include all the compounds naturally found in

Mood is difficult to modulate for some people. It's also one that is tough from a formulation perspective, as not everyone reacts the same to each supplement. We are going to try to hit on multiple mechanisms to ensure a

I have not seen any data showing Tongkat or Cistanche lowers testosterone production over time. I have seen Tongkat lower estrogen too much, though. That's something that needs to be balanced out in a Tongkat stack.

I have not done any blood testing, so it is hard to say for certain. However, I'm getting really strong GH flushing effects with CistaMAX taken with GABA, as strong as I remember when I was taking CJC-1295/Ipamorelin.
