A
Botanical Product Containing Cistanche and Ginkgo Extracts Potentially Improves
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms in Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and
Placebo-Controlled Study - Front Nutr 2021 Nov 26 -
"A total of 190 subjects (35-60 years old, non-obese) with CFS were randomized
to receive one tablet of a low dose (120-mg ginkgo and 300-mg cistanche), a high
dose (180-mg ginkgo and 450-mg cistanche) or a placebo once daily for 60 days.
Blood samples and responses on the Chalder fatigue scale (CFQ 11), the World
Health Organization's quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL), and the sexual
life quality questionnaire (SLQQ) were collected at baseline and
post-intervention. CFS symptoms of impaired memory or concentration, physical
fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and post-exertional malaise were significantly
improved (p < 0.001) in both of the treatment groups. The botanical intervention
significantly decreased physical and mental fatigue scores of CFQ 11 and
improved WHOQOL and SLQQ scores of the subjects (p < 0.01). Levels of blood
ammonia and lactic acid in the treatment groups were significantly lower than
those of the placebo group (low-dose: p < 0.05; high-dose: p < 0.01). In
addition, the change in lactic acid concentration was negatively associated with
the severity of CFS symptoms (p = 0.0108) and was correlated with the change in
total physical fatigue score of the CFQ" - [Nutra
