Cordyceps sinensis (Cordyceps, Dong Chong Xia Cao), a herbal medicine also known as Chinese caterpillar fungus, is one of the most commonly used ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The properties of cordyceps, the ’miraculous fungus’, have been known in Chinese medicine since ancient times. The most recent scientific research confirms these claims by pointing to numerous qualities of Cordyceps that boost natural defense, body functions and overall well-being.
BENEFITS:
UNIQUE FEATURES
The traditional and modern application of Cordyceps includes bronchial asthma, insomnia, anxiety, adrenal hypofunction, hypertension, impotence, and bacterial infection. Cordyceps has properties similar to ginseng, being used to strengthen and rebuild the body after exhaustion.
Compounds found in Cordyceps are classified as HDP “Host Defense Potentiators”. These compounds include hemicellulose, polysaccharides, polysaccharide-peptides, nucleosides, triterpenoids, 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 support the development of lymphoid stem cells and other important body defense responses.
Tests show that there are no traces of hormones or stimulants in these ingredients.
