Cordyceps Sinensis

Cordyceps sinensis is an annual Ascomycetes fungus closely related to the mushroom. Although not actually a mushroom taxonomically, it has been a staple in eastern medicine for a millennia.

Cordyceps sinensis is used for strengthening the immune system, improving athletic performance and supporting cardiovascular health. It is known as an aphrodisiac, which increases the libido in both men and women. Consistent use of Cordyceps can help strengthen the skeletal structure, and specifically the lower back region, the knees and ankles.

Cordyceps is considered to be one of the most powerful athlete’s tonics. It is known to improve performance, muscle building capacities, strengthen respiratory power and is a yang tonic.

Wild Cordyceps sinensis is rare and extremely expensive nowadays. In the wild cordyceps take over a body of a caterpillar or other insects and uses them as hosts to grow.  The Chinese developed vegan method of growing cordyceps any animal or insect bodies. Liquid fermentation method is much more superior compared to cheap grain based cultivation. The vegan mycelium method produces a pure potent product.

A large body of research has demonstrated that this has a similar profile of active compounds and actives as wild Cordyceps.
