Cordyceps Mushroom Powder

What is Cordyceps Mushroom Powder?

Cordyceps is a type of fungus. Its name comes from Greek and Latin words that mean "club" and "head," respectively. There are about 400 different types of cordyceps, and most of them grow well in warm areas. The fungus gets its food from insects and sometimes other fungi. It has been used for a long time in traditional Tibetan and Chinese healing methods. In traditional Tibetan medicine, cordyceps was used as a tonic to boost energy and endurance. It also helps the immune system and its defenses to keep you feeling your best.

Our cordyceps powder is made from the mycelial material of Cordyceps militaris that has grown on natural oats. Cordyceps in their natural state are rare and expensive, so a type that was separated from them is now grown and widely used. The kind that Alive Herbals sells is grown in the United States in a healthy way. The dried fungus that grows on organic oats is what makes up our Cordyceps. In Chinese medicine, it is usually made into a soup, but it can also be used as an extract, a tea, or in pills.

How to use Cordyceps Mushroom Powder?

Similar to desiccated mushrooms, cordyceps tea can be prepared using our Organic Cordyceps Mushroom Powder. Simply steep a half-teaspoon in water that is heated (but not scalding) for several minutes. Alternatively, the powder can be placed in an empty tea bag and brewed as one would a standard cup of tea.

Cordyceps Mushroom Powder benefits:

But cordyceps has been a popular ingredient in vitamins and other items that claim to be good for your health long before it became popular in Hollywood. Some of these benefits include anti-fatigue, anti-aging, and anti-cancer qualities that could help improve energy, sex drive, and even heart health.

◉ Enhances Sexual Function: People of both sexes used to take tonics made from cordyceps to boost their libido and improve their ability to reproduce. Based on studies with animals, it seems that cordyceps vitamins can help the body use oxygen better and improve blood flow, which is important for both physical health and sexual function.  Cordyceps may also improve fertility and libido because it makes you stronger, gives you more energy, and reduces inflammation. So, they can be used as a natural treatment for both infertility and erectile dysfunction.

◉ May Help Fight Inflammation: Cordyceps is thought to help the body fight congestion. Even though a little bit of inflammation is good, too much can cause heart disease and cancer. Researchers have found that when Cordyceps is added to human cells, certain proteins that cause inflammation in the body are shut down. Researchers think that Cordyceps might be a good anti-inflammatory food or drug because it may have these benefits. In fact, Cordyceps have been shown to lower inflammation in the lungs of mice, which makes them a possible treatment for asthma. But the fungi don't seem to work as well as the drugs that doctors usually give to calm down swollen parts of the body. Cordyceps could also be used on the skin. When it was put on the skin of mice, one study found that it decreased inflammation, showing again that it is anti-inflammatory. Cordyceps may be able to reduce inflammation, but this hasn't been seen in people yet.

◉ Supports Heart Health:- Recent research has found a strong link between cordyceps and heart health. Studies have shown that cordyceps could help protect the heart from damage and lower cholesterol levels to avoid coronary heart disease. For example, a study done on rats with kidney disease and published in the journal Acta Pharmacologica Sinica showed that cordyceps substance helped reduce damage to the heart and liver. Plus, study done on animals shows that cordyceps could help lower levels of bad LDL cholesterol to avoid arteriosclerosis, a disease that causes plaque to build up in the vessels and raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. Other tests on animals show that they may also lower high triglycerides, which are another big risk factor for heart disease.

◉ Promotes Restful Sleep:- A study in Asia looked at the benefits of cordycepin, which is found naturally in cordyceps, to see if it would help rats sleep more naturally. Researchers found that cordycepin makes rats sleep more without rapid eye movement.  Not only that. "This experiment can give basic evidence that cordycepin may help people who have trouble sleeping," the authors wrote.
