Dendrobium

What human studies say about dendrobium

• Oral mucositis · Randomized controlled trial · 2025
  Salivary flow rate and oral mucosal scores improved more in the Dendrobium group than in the control group using vitamin B12 rinse alone (P < .05). Serum IL-10 rose from baseline, and oral bacterial composition differed. Limitation: Small single-hospital sample; the Dendrobium group also used the B12 rinse, and the abstract does not say whether the control group received a placebo drink. PubMed 39811879
• Vaccine antibody response · Randomized controlled trial · 2023
  The extract was associated with preserved immune cell homeostasis and more anti-inflammatory gut flora. Neutralizing antibody levels were lower than in the placebo group, and the authors advise against consuming it during vaccination. Limitation: The abstract does not state the sample size, dose or duration, and it reports few quantitative results. Extract use may not reflect dietary intake. PubMed 37062221
• Saliva secretion · Randomized controlled trial · 2011
  Salivary secretion was about 65% higher in patients given the extract than in the control group. Labial gland biopsies showed higher aquaporin-5 labeling indices in the extract group. Limitation: Very small sample and only 1 week of follow-up. The abstract does not describe the control intervention or blinding. PubMed 20655712

Most studies used extracts or doses that differ from home cooking. Full details in the Nourilo Research Library.
