What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: raw orchic concentrate, derived from bovine (cow) testes. The capsule also includes inactive ingredients — cellulose, gelatin, and vegetable stearate — which serve as fillers and binders to hold the supplement together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Orchic Extract product and its label doesn't state a use — see Orchic Extract's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for raw orchic concentrate in our data, so the evidence for what it may or may not do is not established here.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Orchic Extract

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Safety data for raw orchic concentrate is very limited. Because it's made from animal tissue gathered from slaughterhouses, there's a risk of contamination from sick or diseased animals.

There's also a theoretical concern about bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE) in countries where it has been reported; however, there have been no confirmed cases of BSE transfer to humans from orchic extract products. There is no safety data for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so the safety data advises against it in both cases.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Ora-M Raw Orchic Concentrate is generally well tolerated with no documented medication interactions. However, safety and effectiveness data are very limited, and animal-tissue products carry real concerns about contamination.
