Cordyceps Powder Extract:

    Cordyceps, one of the better-known traditional Chinese medicines, consists of the dried fungus Cordyceps sinensis growing on the larva of the caterpillar. It is commonly used in China for the replenishment of general body health. Cordyceps has a broad range of pharmacological and biological actions on the liver, kidneys, heart, and immune system. One of the known pharmacological effects is its anti-oxidation activity. Cordyceps sinensis, a well-known and valued traditional Chinese medicine, is also called DongChongXiaCao (winter worm summer grass) in Chinese.

     In Chinese, Cordyceps means "summer plant, winter worm." Cordyceps grow by infecting insect larvae or mature insects with spores that germinate, often before the cocoon is formed. The traditional and modern applications of Cordyceps include bronchial asthma, insomnia, anxiety, adrenal hypofunction, hypertension, impotence and bacterial infection. Cordyceps has properties similar to ginseng, being used to strengthen and rebuild the body after exhaustion. The female Chinese long-distance runners surprised the sports world by winning all the distance events at the World Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Germany. Their coach attributes their amazing performance to hard training and a special diet containing cordyceps. Today, a number of athletes are taking Cordyceps for endurance. In addition, Cordyceps is a great tonic for anyone who leads a very busy life and needs extra energy.
