Cordyceps Extract
Cordyceps are a group of parasitic fungi that live off certain types of insects and grows primarily in Asia. Before cordyceps could be cultivated, they were rare and expensive medicine that had to be hand collected through wildcraft. This health-boosting mushroom has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Today, two types of cordyceps, Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris, are getting attention for how they can potentially help people....

Helps Enhance Performance.
Cordyceps could be a new tool for athletic minded people in the search for self improvement. In a study performed on 30 healthy adults, coryceps sinensis improved VO2 max (a determination of fitness level) by 7%. Research showed these improvements in both young adults and older adults, but supplementation may not be as effective in top trained athletes. In studies using athletes already in peak condition, cordyseps did not appear to make a difference in their performance levels.
Exhibits Anti-aging Properties.
Hundreds of years ago, cordyceps were carefully gathered and used to help reduce the effects of aging, and to improve sex drive in older people. Although its amazing cancer fighting powers have taken center stage, it turns out cordyceps miltaris also has significant anti-aging properties. Researchers looked at short lived animals such as fruit flies and mice in order to understand the effects of cordyceps militaris on anti-aging. They found that these animals lived much longer compared to a control group when fed cordyceps. Sex drive was also measured in castrated rats in one study, and there was some evidence that cordyceps did boost sex drive.
Has Cancer Fighting Properties.
As of now, research for the anti-tumor properties of cordyceps have only been completed in test tubes. We don't yet know how well it works in real patients, but what research has been done is very encouraging. Several studies have shown that in test tubes, cordyceps militaris was effective against lung cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, and skin cancer. Research is beginning in mice, and so far these findings have been replicated. That's very promising for humans, but more research still needs to be done to confirm this potentially life saving aspect of cordyceps.
Aides in Reducing High BP.
Cordyceps sinensis contain cordycepin, which helps relax blood vessel walls. It may also help improve blood circulation and reduce blood pressure, which is in turn good for heart health. Many studies have shown that when used as part of a heart health program, cordyceps were a powerful tool in improving the heart health of patients with high cholesterol and blood pressure.
SOME COMMON QUESTIONS.
Cordyceps might improve immunity by stimulating cells and specific chemicals in the immune system. It may also have activity against cancer cells and may shrink tumor size, particularly with lung or skin cancers.
Namaste's Cordyceps Extract is much less expensive than the packaged ones. I used to take Cordyceps in capsules and they have gotten to be so expensive. I switched to Cordyceps by Namaste Supplements and reduced my expense by at least 50%, and the Namaste Supplements brand is just as good as the other brand to help me to have less cold or flu. - Juliana T.
At 63 with a low kidney filtration rate, I'm more careful about supplements I consume. From articles I've read, this product is suppose to be good for kidney health. Been taking cordyceps with coffee before my morning workout for over a year now. It seems in combination with the caffeine there is a little added boost. Recovery time appears to be aided with this and the astaxanthin I consume. Last couple of blood tests show filtration rate constant. - Steven N.
I've been adding less than a teaspoon of Cordyceps to my morning coffee with other mushroom powders (Chagas, Reishi, and Lion's Mane) and am very pleased with the taste and consistency, as well as the benefits which are cummulative. I've realized the power of adaptogens, and their anti-aging benefits. I am very pleased with the quality of Bulk Supplements Cordyceps powder. - Elizabeth T.
After a week of two teaspoons per day I noticed a positive effect on cardiovascular function and oxygen utilization during running and biking - even for someone already at a fairly decent fitness level! Now I can understand why this supplement is popular among mountain climbers and those who must operate in high altitude environments. - Charles B.
