Organic Cordyceps mycelia

Organic Cordyceps mycelia is a type of fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine that is touted to be anti-aging and pro-vitality. Cordyceps is known as an adaptogen, which is used to increase energy, enhance stamina, and reduce fatigue. Cordyceps might improve immunity by stimulating cells and specific chemicals in the immune system, fight cancer cells and shrink tumor size. Some people even believe that cordyceps may have anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. Cordyceps has been studied for its use in improving athletic performance, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and other health conditions.

The benefits of Organic Cordyceps mycelia might include:

• Increased exercise performance
• Boosted immunity
• Reduced inflammation
• Improved heart health
• Lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes

There are concerns that fungi in the wild have been overexploited in recent years, so many manufacturers use lab-grown forms of C. militaris in most supplements. The recommended dosage of Cordyceps is 1,000-3,000 mg per day. When taken by mouth, Cordyceps is generally safe but it may cause mild side effects such as diarrhea, constipation, stomach discomfort, upset stomach, nausea and dry mouth in some people. It is possibly safe for most people when taken in doses of 3-6 grams daily for up to 1 year. There is a possibility that mycotoxins or toxins that grow on fungi could be present in Cordyceps, so more safety studies should be conducted on natural and synthetic Cordyceps to prove or discredit these claims.

There are several case studies on the benefits of Cordyceps:

• Cordyceps might improve exercise performance
• Cordyceps can regulate testicular testosterone production
• Cordyceps is possibly safe for most people when taken in doses of 3-6 grams daily for up to 1 year
• Comparisons of fermented Cordyceps mycelia in natural Cordyceps sinensis in treating 30 patients with renal failure showed a significant improvement in kidney function
