ZOYA CORDYCEPS Cordyceps powder ORGANIC for tone and energy x 60g
Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) is highly valued in Chinese medicine and culture. Due to its rarity, in ancient China, cordyceps was reserved for use only by the emperor and his family. An adaptogen, it is used as a tonic to support health and vitality and to prevent premature aging of the body. In Chinese medicine, cordyceps is used to treat yin and yang deficiency in the kidneys caused by excessive physical exertion or chronic illness. According to this, the kidneys store jing (vital essence) and control not only the metabolism of fluids (along with the Chinese spleen and lungs), but also the proper functioning of the reproductive system, good bone condition and hearing. In the 1990s, two unranked Chinese athletes broke world records in swimming competitions, and Chinese runners won six out of nine track and field events at the world championships in Germany. All of these athletes took cordyceps as a supplement to their regular training regimen and attributed much of their success to the herb. Cordyceps colonizes the larvae (caterpillars) of moths of the genus Thitarodes. After infecting and completely engulfing the host insect, the fungus grows a stalk that sheds new spores to start the process over again. The remainder of the caterpillar and the fruiting body (fungus) are collected for use. They are carefully cleaned and dried, and when cooked, they have a mushroom-like flavor without any hint of the original insect. In the wild, cordyceps is relatively rare and is over-harvested due to its increased popularity, which threatens its survival. In commercial cultivation, the mycelium of the fungus is grown in boiled soybeans or rice. Our cordyceps powder is obtained through a cultivation process that includes water extraction, filtration, concentration, drying and sieving. Directions for use: The recommended daily dose is 1-2 grams (1/2-1 tsp), up to three times a day. It can be dissolved in water, juices and smoothies. It is recommended to avoid the use of cordyceps by people taking immunosuppressive medications such as cyclosporine, as the mushrooms may interfere with the action of the drugs.
