Description

The King of the Yin Tonic Herbs

Dendrobium is a member of the orchid plant family and is one of the 50 fundamental herbs used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it has the name Shi Hu. Dendrobium has been used in China for over 1000 years with the reputation of “The King of the Yin Tonic Herbs”.

This rare and precious Chinese herb usually grows atop the perpendicular cliff walls and is exposed to the moisture of dew and rain as well as to the essence of the sun and moon throughout the year. Thanks for that, TCM believes that it owns such rich and balanced pharmaceutical ingredients that it can be used clinically in the treatment of a variety of disorders, such as chronic pharyngitis, gastrointestinal disease, eye disease, thrombotic occlusive disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and so on.

Ultimate Caffeine-free Energy Booster in Pre-workout Supplement

Today, Dendrobium extract is found in a number of sports supplements. Mainly as a pre-workout aid to boost energy and performance. In fact, many experts predict that this supplement might become one of the next replacements for the stimulant DMAA which is being targeted by the FDA .

Dendrobium extract is an effective pre-workout supplement. This is currently being used by athletes from weight lifters and body builders to runners and cyclists. One of the best things about this supplement is that it does not restrict blood flow, which is oftentimes a side effect of many pre-workout formulations (especially those which contain caffeine).
