Cordyceps sinensis has very high potential, is a native of the high Himalayas, and has been known and used in China for nearly two thousand years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) due to its properties in assisting to restore normal levels of energy, longevity and improving overall quality of life.

Cordyceps sinensis is a mushroom now being used as a health supplement amongst more informed consumers seeking alternatives to the conventional treatments for a wide range of health issues. Cordyceps is considered a "Superfood" by a growing number of researchers.

Medicinal mushrooms are extremely high in both beta-glucans and polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are long sugar chains with many oxygen sections within them. As the body breaks down these sugars, the oxygen molecules are released and absorbed on a cellular level. It would seem that this more efficient use of oxygen improves the internal balance mechanism. These properties may account for the overall physical enhancement, the extra endurance and anti-fatigue effects seen in people using Cordyceps. The list of medicinal mushrooms also includes Reishi (Ganoderma) - rich in beta-glucans that are known sources of oxygen.

Ancient Chinese records claim Cordyceps is beneficial for the heart, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, hormonal and urinary system, liver, kidneys, increase of physical stamina and restoring normal sexual functions.

Active ingredients include:Cordycepic acid, Cordycepin (effective against all sorts of bacteria that have developed, or are developing, resistance to more common antibiotics) Glutamic acid, Beta-glucans, Polysaccharides, Amino Acids, Vit B12 and more.

Cordyceps, due to its antioxidant properties, is often used in conjunction with Ganoderma to assist with immune system problems and is also often used by athletes for endurance and stamina, due to its properties to help boost energy, assist in improving memory and concentration.

The best-known medicinal action of Cordyceps is in the increase of physical stamina. In 1993 the Chinese National Games brought this mushroom to the attention of the world's sporting authorities. A group of women athletes who had been taking Cordyceps shattered nine world records. There have been many reports of amazing improvements in performance in various sports due to the intake of Cordyceps.
