| In Chinese medicine Cordyceps fungus
is described as a very effective herb for treating circulatory, respiratory ,
immune system , sexual dysfunction, as well as a host of other health problems.
It was also classified as a general health tonic because of cordyceps capability
to improve energy, stamina, appetite, endurance, and sleeping patterns. In
tradition Chinese medicine cordyceps is used for the kidney and lungs meridians.
Cordyceps fungus has the ability to increase the ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate)
production in human cell's mitochondria and thus increasing the energy levels
of people using it. Especially, good for people who are involved in
athletics or enjoy vigorous sports.
Compounds found in cordyceps are classified as HDP "Host
Defense Potentiators". These compounds include: hemicellulose,
polysaccharides, polysaccharide-peptides, nucleosides, triterpeniods, complex
starches, and other metabolites. Combinations of these compounds are now
believed to target the human immune system as well as aid in neuron
transmission, metabolism, hormonal balance and nutrient and oxygen
transport. They help your body regulate the development of lymphoid stem cells
and other important body defense responses.
Chinese athletes who used Cordyceps in their athletic training
program surprised everyone including sports authorities when they broke the
10,000 meter World track record in 1993.
Cordyceps can only be found in isolated places in southwestern
China and because of the harsh environment and very small production amounts,
thus wild cordyceps is usually very expensive up to $1000 for 100 grams.
Cordyceps fungus is also known as:
Cordyceps sinensis , Caterpillar Fungus, Dong Chong, Xia Cao
Tochukas, Deer Fungus
