Cistanche Tubulosa vs Cistanche deserticola
Due to Hetian Cistanche's low sugar content and high content of active ingredients, like echinacoside and verbascoside (ergoside) in fresh cistanche tubulosa ,varies from 1.5g to 4g in 100g, it is widely used in pharmaceuticals. The exported Cistanche is also made from that species.
Others, such as Cistanche desert, have a lower effective content of echinacoside and verbascoside (ergosteroside), which generally contain about 0.3g in 100g, so it is difficult to extract, and they are mainly sold in traditional pharmacies in the form of slices;
