| 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.
