TEMPE, Ariz., Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nootropics Depot has announced a major leap in the standardization and affordability of Cistanche supplements, establishing its product line as the most cost-effective and potent source of key bioactives such as echinacoside and verbascoside available today. Recent independent lab analyses reveal that Nootropics Depot's Cistanche extracts deliver 2.2 times more echinacoside and 13 times more verbascoside per dose than leading competitors, all at a significantly reduced cost per milligram.

These results stem from comprehensive testing of retail Cistanche products in Q2 2025, including ND Ultra Potent Extract, Supercritical CO2 Extract, Full Spectrum Tablets, and Cistamax Optimized Cistanche. Nootropics Depot's Supercritical CO2 Extract contains 53.1mg verbascoside per dose—13 times more than any competing product—while maintaining a cost of just 1.4 cents per milligram, six times lower cost than alternatives. Similarly, ND Ultra Potent Extract delivers 110.5mg echinacoside per dose for around half a cent per milligram, decisively outperforming the market in both purity and price. These ultra-high potency formulas pair standardized extracts with full-spectrum powders to ensure broad-spectrum bioactivity, giving consumers access to verified levels of the most valued compounds in the Cistanche genus.

Cistamax, a flagship blend, exemplifies this commitment to innovation and quality. By combining a high-potency extract with supercritical CO2 extract and full-spectrum powder, each serving offers a comprehensive profile of Cistanche's bioactives. Enhanced with Primavie shilajit, pregnenolone, and DHEA, the formulation supports hormone balance, mood, and vitality, while rigorous third-party lab testing ensures verified potency and safety.

"As a company, we are dedicated to advancing the standards of potency, affordability, and verified quality in the supplement industry," said Paul Eftang, CEO of Nootropics Depot. "Through innovative extraction methods and rigorous ISO-accredited laboratory testing, we ensure that every product delivers the precise bioactive profile stated on our label."
