Cordyceps is a fungus originally from the high mountain regions of China. It dilates the lungs airways, providing more oxygen to the blood. Every cell is enriched by this process, enhancing energy levels and causing the body’s cells to work better. It has been shown to improve the functioning of the respiratory system and is beneficial for people suffering from cough, asthma and bronchitis due to its anti-inflammatory properties and its action of relaxing the bronchial walls. It strengthens the immune system by increasing the amount of the body’s natural killer cells. These defend the body against bacteria and viruses.

Cordyceps benefits the entire vascular system by regulating blood pressure, strengthening the muscles of the heart and improving circulation. It protects the kidney and liver by improving blood flow to these two organs and others, which in turn helps to defend more effectively against diseases such as Hepatitis.

This herb is very popular with athletes as it can help build muscle and improve performance. Chinese Olympic athletes are known to consume it while training and competing as it is purported to increase noticeably physical strength and stamina.

Cordyceps is also a testosterone booster that stimulates the production of testosterone and, in turn, boosts energy, intensifies workouts, increases endurance, improves sexual performance and builds lean muscle. Since this herb contains powerful antioxidants, it is often taken for its anti-aging properties.
