This is an old thread … but I wanted to say that I have been supplementing with Cistanche Deserticola Extract recently, with good results
Cistanche seems to be the ONLY herb that will boost my 5AR.
I tried sorghum, but its seems that I’m allergic to sorghum in someway. I’ve had no adverse affect to Cistanche Deserticola so far.
I read somewhere that Cistanche can ‘increases gene expression of 5ar in the liver’…
Anyone else tried Cistanche tubulosa or Cistanche Deserticola ???
