General information about cordyceps: Besides vitamins and trace elements, the Cordyceps contains highly valuable amino acids as well as polysaccharides. The many positive effects of the Cordyceps onto the human organism have been proven by numerous studies. A study at the medicine faculty of Beijing proved the improving effect on the libido; the mushroom is known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an aphrodisiac for men and women. 31% of the tested persons who received extracts from the fruiting body of Cordyceps experienced a considerable improvement of sexual activity. Among another group who received the extracts from the Cordyceps mycelium, 65% reported a significant improvement. The extract of this mushroom is also taken by athletes, due to its tremendous performance-enhancing effects. The athletes in the Chinese Olympia teams have been taking it all along, to recover faster after exhaustion and, above all, to increase their performance in competition effectively. Scientists assume that the positive effect of Cordyceps on the respiration organs and the heart, are one reason for the increased performance and stamina of the athletes. Cordyceps has an inhibiting effect on the enzyme MAO, which proves its anti-depressant effects. MAO inhibitors are also used for medicine against depression. In traditional Chinese medicine it is also used in the treatment of anaemia. Extract can usually be purchased in capsule form (note: some suppliers offer powder in capsule form!!). The fruiting body is dried and powdered. Then, the powder is extracted via hot water extraction; that means that all water-soluble ingredients dissolve in the water and are then retrieved as powder when dried. All not-water-soluble ingredients are washed out and are not contained in the extract. For more information about the effect of Medicinal Mushrooms – please click here!
