Cordyceps Extract
Latin Name: Cordyceps sinensis
Specification:Polysaccharides 10%,20%,30%,40% UV
Appearance:10% ~40% polysaccharide
Introduction:
Cordyceps is a genus of ascomycete (Sac Fungi) fungi that includes about 400 described species. All Cordyceps species are endoparasitoids, mainly on insects and other arthropods (they are thus entomopathogenic fungi); a few are parasitic on other fungi. The best known species of the genus is Cordyceps sinensis, first recorded as yartsa gunbu in Tibet in the 15th Century. Cordyceps sinensis, known in English commonly as * fungus is a precious ingredient in oriental medicines, such as Traditional Chinese Medicines and Traditional Tibetan Medicine.
Cordyceps extract nourishes the lungs and kidney, and tonifies the essence and the vital enery. It can be used in the treatment of resisting arrhythmia,relieving inflammation,nourishing the kidney and preserving the lung-yin. Used for atria premature or ventricular premature beat, chronic nephritis and chronic renal insufficiency. Cordyceps polysaccharide is the most abundant content and the most important biological active substances in the body of Cordyceps, Experiments show that Cordyceps polysaccharide can improve the body's immune function, elevated white blood cell, clinical has been used in the treatment of malignant tumor.

9.Promote the immune system
Applications:
1. it can be used in all kinds of health care products;
2. It also can be used in capsule and tablet processing.
Scientific support:
Although a number of studies have been conducted on cordyceps in China, relatively little information is available from U.S.-based scientists. A few animal studies have shown cordyceps feeding to increase the ratio of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the liver by 45-55% - an effect that may be viewed as beneficial in terms of energy state and potential for performance enhancement. Furthermore, mice fed cordyceps and subjected to an extreme low oxygen environment, were able to utilize oxygen more efficiently (30-50% increase), better tolerate acidosis and hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and live 2-3 times longer than a control group. A number of Chinese clinical studies, primarily in elderly patients with fatigue, cordyceps-treated patients reported significant improvements in their level of fatigue, ability to tolerate cold temperatures, memory and cognitive capacity and sex drive. Patients with respiratory diseases also reported feeling physically stronger. Overall, the efficacy rate for cordyceps in alleviating fatigue in elderly subjects was 80-90%. In addition to its effects on energy levels - possibly due to the adenosine content of cordyceps, the mushroom extract can also induce sex steroid-like effects (in mice) - which may account for the increased libido reported by elderly subjects in several studies. Recently, a small study presented at the American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting (1999), showed that a cordyceps-based supplement (CordyMax, Pharmanex) significantly increases *oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold, which may lead to improved exercise capacity and resistance to fatigue.
Safety:
Dietary supplements of Cordyceps sinensis are not associated with any significant side effects.
Dosage:
2-4 grams per day of cordyceps sinensis has been associated with increased energy levels, reduced fatigue and an enhanced ability to use oxygen.
Cordyceps mycelia has almost the same active ingredients as cordyceps bodyfruit, but with more amino acids.
