Cordyceps has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional cultures.

Healers in Sikkim India used cordyceps to treat everything from cancer to asthma, tuberculosis, diabetes, hepatitis, and even the common cold.

Known as the mushroom of energy and stamina, Fruiting Body’s Cordyceps is hailed as the “Fountain of Youth”. Cordyceps will have you starting your day with a long-lasting feel of natural energy and endurance needed for daily routines, cognitive health, and mood.

Cordyceps is known throughout the mushroom kingdom for its unique ability to help boost oxygen flow and increase ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which allows for an increase in energy and stamina support that will help you function at your peak performance level.

 

1. Boost Exercise Performance

 

As a functional mushroom Cordyceps contains compounds called cordycepin and adenosine, which have been found to have a stimulating effect on the body. They may help to increase energy levels and improve physical performance, making them a great supplement for athletes and active individuals.

Cordyceps has been found to improve the body’s ability to utilize oxygen, which can lead to increased energy levels and improved athletic performance.

2. Anti-Aging Properties

 

Cordyceps contains antioxidants, which can help to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. These harmful molecules are produced naturally in the body and can contribute to aging and age-related diseases. Cordyceps has been found to have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation has been linked to aging and age-related diseases, such as cancer and heart disease.

Cordyceps benefits also include improving immune function. It does this by stimulating macrophage (invader-fighting cells) activity.

3. Anti-Tumor Effects

 

Induce apoptosis: Apoptosis is a natural process by which cells self-destruct when they become damaged or abnormal. Studies have found that cordyceps may be able to induce apoptosis in cancer cells, leading to their death and slowing down the growth of tumors.

Cordyceps has been found to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, which can help to slow down the growth of tumors. Studies have found that cordyceps may be able to suppress angiogenesis, which can help to slow down the growth of tumors.

4. Manages Type 2 Diabetes

 

In type 1 diabetes the body can produce only very little insulin and you may require insulin injections to keep blood glucose levels under control. It occurs most frequently in children and adolescents. Type 2 diabetes is more common in adults. In this type, the body does not make good use of the insulin it produces. It accounts for 90% of diabetes cases.

Cordyceps is of high medicinal benefit as it contains a unique type of sugar that may help to combat diabetes. Cordyceps has been proven to be most effective against type 2 diabetes. Cordyceps keeps blood sugar levels within a healthy range by mimicking the action of insulin. Insulin as we know is the transporter hormone that transports the sugar glucose from the blood to the cells to produce energy.

5. Benefits for Heart Health

 

Heart health refers to the overall well-being of the heart and the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood. A healthy heart pumps blood effectively, providing oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells and organs.

Cordyceps is a type of fungus that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. There is research suggesting that cordyceps may have potential health benefits for the heart. For example, cordyceps may help to improve blood circulation, which can help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Additionally, cordyceps may help to lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, which are both risk factors for heart disease.

6. Helps to Fight Inflammation

 

Inflammation is a natural response of the body’s immune system to injury or infection. However, chronic inflammation can contribute to the development of various diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Cordyceps have been shown through research to have anti-inflammatory properties, studies have shown that cordyceps may help to reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory molecules called cytokines. It is also shown to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes that are involved in inflammation, such as COX-2 and iNOS. It has also been suggested that cordyceps may help to boost the activity of anti-inflammatory molecules, such as IL-10 and TGF-β.

Growing up in a quaint village in Ontario, Canada, I was always a “fun-guy,” filled with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a fierce desire to explore the world around me. It’s been quite the journey for me, as I embarked on a less traveled path, and found myself living in places such as; Australia, Taiwan, China, and finally settling down in the “Land of Smiles.”
