What people say about Cistanche and appetite
“The OG cistanche lowered my anxiety with consistent use, but too much, made me dull and tired after a week or so.”
“I started with cistamax and overtime that gave me big hunger issues and then anhedonia afterwards...Overall I feel this is great for recovery and for non-cortisol related stress but I don't recommend taking it constantly.”
“It is from cistanche, I guarantee you. I have noticed it suppress appetite as have many others!”
