What it is:
Cordyceps Extract (Dong Chong Xia Cao Jiao Nang) is an all natural concentrated single-herb supplement extremely popular for its beneficial effects on invigoration and qi/energy enhancement. Cordyceps has been an important Chinese herb for thousands of years and is considered in America as one of the rarest and most precious adaptogenic herb which can tonify both Yin and Yang in the body.
Modern studies suggest Cordyceps may enhance the immune function of our body, may stimulate progesterone production, boost energy and endurance. Traditional views of the Chinese hold that consuming Cordyceps can strengthen the kidneys and lungs and regulate their normal function. Kidneys are the natural filters of our body. They help regulate blood pressure, produce hormones and absorb the good things our body needs: water, glucose and amino acids. When kidney health is poor, the symptoms are normally felt throughout other organs as well. Fatigue, joint and back pain, high blood sugar levels and impotence are all symptoms.

What else you need to know:
Cordyceps has been used for the general health well being by Chinese for centuries, but remained unknown for the rest of the world until in the 1992 Olympics when the Chinese women's track team athletes broke multiple world records and attributed their success in part to Cordyceps they took as an herbal dietary supplement. The support and strengthening which Cordyceps provide for the lungs are particularly esteemed by athletes and those who engage in endurance sports.
Suggested usage:
- Take 2 to 3 capsules, 3 times a day, with warm water.
- Use single Chinese herbs or herbal extracts with caution. In TCM, Chinese herbs are mostly combined in formulas to enhance each other's desirable action and to minimize any potential side effect.
