Why does the exact product matter?

OPSS warns that dendrobine can affect breathing, heart rate and blood pressure at sufficient doses. It also documents a product sold with dendrobium that was removed over stimulant adulteration; that finding does not show that the orchid naturally contains that stimulant. 1

For information, not individual medical advice. Ingredient studies do not establish the effectiveness of these products.
