More than 1,500 years ago in the Himalayas of Tibet, local shepherds noticed that when their cattle and sheep chewed a particular mushroom, Cordyceps sinesis, they became very strong.

For over a thousand years, Cordyceps sinensis, or Chinese cordyceps, has been the most widely consumed “tonic food” in Asia, particularly in China.

Cordyceps sinensis is a very rare mushroom in its native habitat; today, it is mostly cultivated. Among its most important active ingredients are cordycepin and deoxyadenosine, two molecules responsible for many of Cordyceps' beneficial properties. Clinical studies have shown that the use of Cordyceps increases energy availability Like ATP, it increases oxygen utilization. This property justifies its general use in physical enhancement, additional endurance, and anti-fatigue effects.

The use of Cordyceps is associated with the following properties:

• antioxidant
• increases energy and muscle oxygenation
• relieves tiredness
• sexual tonic
• relieves symptoms of many respiratory disorders
• maintains healthy cholesterol levels
• improves circulation
• improves liver function
• modulates the immune system
• reduces the secretion of pro-inflammatory molecules IL1 and IL6

Deoxyadenosine may have a role in tumor prevention, as it appears to slow DNA replication.
