The origin of Cordyceps sinensis
The caterpillar fungus (Cordyceps sinensis) is a rare, naturally occurring medicinal mushroom found mainly in the high Himalayan plateau and in the snowy regions of Tibet and China above 3000 metres. It has been recognised for thousands of years in traditional East Asian and Chinese medicine for its special medicinal properties and is used to treat a wide range of ailments.
Natural immune system booster
A growing body of clinical research is confirming the health benefits of medicinal mushrooms, most famously their immune-boosting, antioxidant, and anti-tumour properties. Did you know that medicinal mushrooms are a source of bioactive polysaccharides that can both stimulate and balance our immune system? This makes them an effective weapon not only against viruses (flu, herpes, HIV, etc.) but also against cancers.
Polysaccharides contribute to the restoration of weakened immune functions, and phospholipids are essential for healthy cellular function as a building block of the cell membrane. In addition to their immune-boosting effects, polysaccharides can also play an important role in the body’s energy use, for example in regulating blood sugar levels.
Vitality and balance from a natural source
In addition to its anti-tumour and anti-viral properties, Cordyceps sinensis is known for its energising and tonic properties. This special and rare medicinal mushroom has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to increase overall energy levels, improve quality of life, and strengthen the body weakened by various diseases. Its beneficial, harmonising effects on the nervous system can reduce fatigue caused by stress and increase resistance to anxiety and depression. These properties make it an excellent aid in cases of age-related weakness, stressed nerves, or for people recovering from illness.
Cordyceps sinensis can improve blood circulation, increase the body’s use of oxygen and supplies energy to the muscles, making its extract an excellent performance-enhancing supplement for athletes. It has both a vitalising and calming effect, which can help to restore balance to the body.
For which diseases is Cordyceps sinensis recommended?
Diseases of the cardiovascular system
Cardiovascular diseases are recognized as a major cause of death worldwide. Several factors (e.g., excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, unhealthy diet) may be behind their development. In addition to risk factors, researchers have identified elevated lipid levels (e.g., cholesterol) as a major cause of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. The active ingredients in Cordyceps sinensis may play an important role in regulating fat metabolism. In other words, it can reduce abnormally high levels of blood fats and total cholesterol, dilate blood vessels, help blood flow, and prevent cholesterol from being deposited in the arteries. Cordyceps can therefore be an excellent aid in the prevention or supplementary treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Type 2 diabetes
Diabetes has now become a worldwide problem. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or does not respond to the hormone that optimally transports sugar to cells for energy. If glucose cannot get into cells, it can accumulate in the blood and cause serious health problems. Therefore, for people with diabetes, proper control of blood glucose levels is crucial. Research has shown that Cordyceps sinensis extract can significantly contribute to lowering blood glucose levels by enhancing glucose metabolism and can protect against kidney disease as a complication of diabetes.
Inflammatory diseases
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to an infection or irritation. However, if inflammation becomes chronic, it can be the cause of many serious diseases or complications. Several studies have shown that Cordyceps sinensis can play a key role in the treatment of inflammation due to their anti-inflammatory properties. Its therapeutic value is also confirmed by its other positive health effects. In respiratory diseases (e.g. pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma), it can improve respiratory function, relieve bronchial spasms and help clear congested mucus from the airways. It can reduce irritation of the intestine in patients with inflammation of the colon and prevent further cartilage degeneration in patients with arthritis.
Immune deficiency (cancer)
Cordyceps sinensis is an excellent immunomodulator. It boosts the body’s suppressed immune responses by increasing the activity of natural killer cells, so it is well suited to any immune deficiency condition (recovery from illness, weakened body due to stress). It can also help restore immune function in cancer patients, increasing the chances of recovery. In some cases, the mushroom can also slow down or prevent the formation of tumours.
Chronic fatigue, stress, depression
Stress is a common disease in our time and the cause of many health complaints. In the long term, stress can lead to serious problems (nervous exhaustion, burnout, depression), which can be helped by lifestyle changes and natural vitalising products. Did you know that Cordyceps sinensis mushrooms can increase cellular oxygen uptake by up to 40% and cellular energy by up to 55%? Furthermore, by stimulating the adrenal glands and modulating the nervous system, Cordyceps can increase resistance to fatigue, stress, or anxiety.
