More than 1500 years ago in the Himalayas of Tibet, local herders noticed that when their cattle and sheep chewed a particular mushroom, Cordyceps sinesis, they became very strong.

For more than a thousand years, Cordyceps sinensis, or Chinese cordyceps, has been the most consumed "tonic food" in Asia and particularly in China.

Cordyceps sinensis is a very rare mushroom in its habitat; today it is mostly cultivated. Among the most important active ingredients we find cordycepin and deoxyadenosine, two molecules that are responsible for many beneficial properties of Cordyceps. Clinical studies have shown that the use of Cordyceps increases the availability of energy as ATP, making the use of oxygen more effective. This property justifies its general use in physical strengthening, additional resistance 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 numerous respiratory disorders
• maintains healthy cholesterol levels
• improves circulation
• improves liver function
• modulates the immune system
• reduces the secretion of IL1 and IL6 pro-inflammatory molecules

Deoxyadenosine could have a role in tumor prevention, as it seems to slow down DNA replication.

Considering the limited knowledge still available regarding the identity and activity of mushrooms, our company guarantees a high safety profile of the raw materials based on medicinal mushrooms used in our supplements.
