CORDYCEPS SINENSIS MUSHROOM 20:1 DUAL EXTRACT TINTURE (20 TIMES MORE POTENT THAN REGULAR TINCTURES!) 60 ML. / 2 ounces Historical Uses As more time passes and more studies are done, more of cordyceps benefits continue to come to light. This medicinal fungus is unique in the way it grows, as well as the beneficial chemical compounds contained within. And I’m sure that in the near future, more insights will come to light regarding the benefits of cordyceps. Cordyceps benefits were first recorded in ancient China. In that time, wild cordyceps sinensis was rare and only consumed by the rich and by royalty. After being harvested, it was cooked and served with duck, meat, and other poultry as well as being cooked into soups. Along with ginseng, it was considered a useful tonic for increasing vitality and overall well being. Olympic Athletes Break World Records The Chinese team made an impressive showing at the 1992 Olympics. They broke several world records by wide margins. Right away everyone suspected steroids, but the Chinese claimed that cordyceps were the key to their success. These results have been replicated with lesser results. It is suspected that any benefit may come from more effecient use of oxygen, and increased blood flow to the organs. One of the newest on the long list of cordyceps benefits is that of an immune modulator. While certain compounds in cordyceps significantly boost immunity, there are others that appear to modulate the immune system so that the body doesn’t attack healthy tissue. This could be a huge breakthrough in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Cordyceps is truly a miracle fungus.
