How much is a catty of cistanche deserticola
Deep in the vast desert, the precious medicinal material Cistanche deserticola, known as "Desert Ginseng", grows. This strange plant parasitic on the roots of Haloxylon ammodendron has attracted much attention in the Chinese herbal medicine market in recent years due to its unique growth habits and excellent medicinal value. With the rise of the health craze, more and more people are beginning to explore the market price and practical value of this mysterious plant. Analysis of Cistanche deserticola market situation price differences between soft and hard grades In the market, Cistanche deserticola deserticola is divided into two forms: soft Cistanche deserticola and hard lignification. Due to its high content of active ingredients, the oily soft cistanche can sell for as much as 300-400 yuan per catty, while the price of sun-cured and hardened varieties drops to the range of 40-100 yuan. This price difference is mainly due to differences in the content of active ingredients. The content of active substances such as polysaccharides and echinacea in Cistanche soft is usually 3-5 times higher. Relationship between origin and quality The desert cistanche deserticola produced in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia, is regarded as a top grade. The temperature difference between day and night in its growth environment reaches more than 20℃, which is conducive to the accumulation of secondary metabolites. Cistanche tubulosa in the (X-J) production area is relatively affordable because of its mature artificial planting technology. Consumers can identify quality by observing chrysanthemum patterns in cross-section, smelling special medicinal scents, and testing texture elasticity. Analysis of the core efficacy of Cistanche deserticola and anti-aging health mechanism Modern research has confirmed that the phenylethanide glycosides in Cistanche deserticola have the effect of scavenging free radicals, and its antioxidant capacity is 20 times that of vitamin C. Clinical trials have shown that continuous taking for 3 months can increase SOD enzyme activity by 35%, effectively delaying the process of cell aging. Echinacea, which has unique immunoregulatory properties, activates macrophages and enhances immunoglobulin production. Epidemiological surveys show that the incidence of influenza among people taking it for a long time is reduced by 42%, making it particularly suitable for conditioning among sub-healthy people. Scientific purchase and use suggestions suggest selecting genuine products with scale-like protrusions on the surface and brownish radial texture on the section. For daily health preservation, you can use 3-5 grams of slices and soak in water, or mix it with medlar and angelica stew. It should be noted that people with yin deficiency and excessive fire should be combined with nourishing yin medicinal materials such as Ophion japonica to avoid taking large amounts alone.

The current market has formed a complete industrial chain from planting, processing to sales. While pursuing health benefits, consumers should pay more attention to the legal source and quality certification of products.
