Cordyceps is a very expensive Chinese medicine for nourishing and tonifying health in folk, a superior delicacy with very high nutritional value, far surpassing ginseng. Its appearance is very unique, looking like a small insect in winter and turning into grass in summer.

1. Adjusting the immune system function The immune system is like the army in the body, which resists tumors internally, eliminates weakened and necrotic tissue, and externally resists infections by microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. The body may produce mutated tumor cells every day. A body with normal immune system function can escape the misfortune of tumors, but a person with an immune system function problem may develop into tumors. The effect of cordyceps on the immune system is like tuning a voice, making it the best. It can not only increase the number of immune system cells and tissues, promote the formation of antigens, increase the number of phagocytes and cytotoxic cells, and improve their function, but also reduce the function of some immune cells.

2. Immediate antitumor effect The cordyceps extract has a definite inhibitory and destructive effect on tumor cells outside the body. Cordycepin, which is contained in cordyceps, is the main component responsible for its antitumor effect.

3. Enhancing cellular metabolism, cordyceps can enhance the activity of the membrane protein of the human energy factory, improve the body’s ability to withstand low temperatures, and alleviate fatigue.

4. Adjusting cardiac function, cordyceps can improve the heart’s tolerance to oxygen deficiency, reduce the oxygen consumption of the heart, and prevent arrhythmia.

Cordyceps can have such comprehensive health-preserving effects on the body, which is incredibly wonderful and deserves the title of ‘the immortal grass’ from ancient times to the present.
