In Moiynkum District due to climatic features there are saxaul forests, but few people know on the roots of what shrubs parasite plant cistanche that takes all the nutrients from the roots of the host plant.

Cistanche has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, estrogenic, immunomodulatory, anticancer and other properties, it is an active component of many dietary supplements and vitamin complexes.

"There is steadily increasing demand for this vegetable raw materials in China, Japan and South Korea, there are processing plants with the release of the product and its wide use - says Sergazy Kylyshbaev. - In Kazakhstan, there was no domestic production ever, 100% raw materials are exported to China, and harvesting is severely restricted by the Red Book there. Kazakhstan has all chances to become a world leader in the export of cistanche".
