Cordyceps Mushroom
(Cordyceps, like many other medicinal mushrooms, contains complex sugars (especially beta 1,3
glucan) and other nutrients (nucleosides, triterpeniods) which seem to strongly nourish and
activate various components of the immune system, useful in treating cancer, chronic fatigue and
other immune disorders.
Cordyceps can be a powerful stimulant for macrophage activity, strengthening your immune
system's ability to fight against bacterial and viral infection.
Human clinical studies indicate that Cordyceps can be effective for treatment of high cholesterol,
poor libido/impotence, arrhythmia, lung cancer, and chronic kidney failure. It is also reported that
Cordyceps causes smooth muscle relaxation. This can make it especially helpful for treating
chronic coughs, asthma, and other bronchial conditions.
It also seems to have value in treating nephritis, may help the immune system recognize tumors
that otherwise might escape immune surveillance, and has positive effects on the cardiovascular
and nervous systems, and an anti-aging effect.)
