More Information
CORDYCEPS - The Chinese Longevity Mushroom
CORDYCEPS is a small, dark, blade shaped fungus found in the highlands
of China, Tibet, and Nepal where it is highly valued food and tonic
herb. 1500 years ago the local herdsmen of Tibet noticed that when
their cattle and sheep grazed where cordyceps grew, they became very
strong. Even old yaks showed signs of being younger, and had increased
natural vigor and vitality. This rare mushroom became a very sought
after substance in the Chinese herbal tradition for its profound
effects on energy, stamina, sex drive, longevity, and overall physical
health and well being.
Usage And Benefits
Improves Utilization of OXYGEN
Several scientific studies have
demonstrated the benefits of CORDYCEPS in improving the amount of
oxygen the body's cells can assimilate. CORDYCEPS has been shown to
increase cellular Oxygen absorption by up to 40%. This may partly
account for the overall increases in respiratory function, physical
energy, endurance, and anti-fatigue effects which are seen in humans
using the CORDYCEPS supplement.
Helps Maintain Healthy Cholesterol Levels
Studies have
demonstrated that CORDYCEPS helps maintain a balanced cholesterol level
and actually increases HDL-cholesterol (�good cholesterol�) by 27 to
30%.

Controlled studies which show that elderly
patients suffering from fatigue and senility related symptoms reported
92% improvement in the reduction of fatigue, 89% improvement in feeling
cold and 83% improvement in dizziness, after supplementing CORDYCEPS
for 30 days. Patients with respiratory/breathing problems felt
physically stronger and some were able to jog for 600 ft. (Cao A, Wen
Y. J Applied Traditional Chinese Med 1993;1:32-33)
Protects Against Free Radical Damage
Several studies have
shown that CORDYCEPS is a powerful antioxidant, protecting the cells
against the damages caused by free radicals.
Reduces Fatigue
Several studies with animals have
demonstrated that CORDYCEPS increases the cellular energy production
and oxygen supply. A double blind, placebo controlled investigation
showed a marked reduction in fatigue in elderly patients when they were
given three grams of Cordyceps daily.

Three different Chinese double blind, placebo-controlled studies with
over 200 men with �reduced libido� showed remarkable results. An
average of 64% of the Cordyceps-users reported significant improvement
by the end of the experimental period compared with 24% of the placebo
group. In another double blind, placebo controlled study conducted with
21 elderly women with similar complaints, 90% reported improvements
following the use of Cordyceps, compared with none in the control group
(Wan F, Guo Y, Deng X. Chinese Traditional Patented Med 1988;9:29-31.
Another double blind study by the Institute of Materia Medica in
Beijing, China showed an 86% increase in women's libido and desire.

CORDYCEPS is completely safe even at very high dosages. Good results
have been achieved with one gram per day. However, best results are
achieved with a daily dosage of three to five grams. CORDYCEPS is great
in smoothies, soups, stews, or cooked into savory dishes.

super-food for dietary supplement use only. It is not a drug, it is not
a medicine, it is not a therapy or a cure for anything! It does nothing
except supply the body with a broad spectrum of rare nutrients it can
use to operate at peak levels of efficiency. Modern nutritional science
recognizes that people who are deficient in certain nutrients may
experience dramatic effects from supplementing the nutrients they were
missing.
