Description

Cistanoside C CAS NO 120406-34-0 is a bioactive phenylethanoid glycoside compound isolated from the traditional medicinal herb *Cistanche* species. This high-purity reference standard is critical for ensuring the quality, efficacy, and consistency of herbal extracts and finished products. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and researchers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and botanical extract industries for product development and analytical applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of Cistanche-based drugs and herbal medicines.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient Standardization: Serves as a key marker compound for the quality control and standardization of dietary supplements and health products containing Cistanche extracts.
• Bioactivity Research: Employed in preclinical studies to investigate its potential pharmacological effects, such as neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fatigue properties.
• Herbal Extract Authentication: Acts as a chemical fingerprint to authenticate Cistanche species and detect adulteration in raw materials and finished botanical products.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing and validating robust analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) in quality control laboratories.
• Cosmeceutical Formulation: Incorporated into high-end skincare formulations for its purported antioxidant and anti-aging benefits, requiring a pure standard for efficacy testing.
