Benefits of Dendrobium

What is Dendrobium 

Dendrobium belongs to the orchid plant family. This type of orchid is found in Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, India, and other temperate and tropical regions. Dendrobium plants have been traditionally used in Chinese medicine. They are among the extensively cultivated orchids as their extract is known to nourish the stomach, enhance mood and improve the functioning of lungs and kidneys.

Dendrobium extracts can be taken in the form of dietary food supplements. These supplements must be incorporated into our diets to keep our bodies healthy.  Interestingly, these supplements are also being used by bodybuilders to boost athletic and physical performance.

Health Benefits

Dendrobium extracts can treat diseases linked with:

• Kidneys 
• Stomach

The extract also treats:

Research has proven that dendrobium extracts possess analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (anti-fever) properties. Dendrobium extracts can perform all these functions due to the presence of multiple alkaloid compounds in their extract. These include dendroxine, dendrobine, denframine and derivatives of phenylethylamine (or PEA). PEA is known for improving mood.

Uses in Bodybuilding

Besides the multiple benefits of dendrobium, it is also being used by bodybuilders. However, the benefits of dendrobium remained unidentified for a long time. But now that the uses of this plant’s extracts are known virtually to the bodybuilding industry, dendrobium supplements are widely used by bodybuilders as pre-workout supplements.
