Origin and characteristics of the Cordyceps mushroom
The Cordyceps fungus is a parasite in nature, attacking the body of a caterpillar of a certain species of moth Thitarodes, and forming its fruiting bodies on it. The shape of the fungus resembles its host, which is why it is called the “caterpillar fungus” or “Chinese caterpillar”. Cordyceps is a genus of about 400 different species of parasitic fungi.
The most famous species of the genus - Cordyceps sinensis /Cordiceps sinensis has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries as one of the most valuable and sought-after natural therapeutic agents. It occurs naturally in the mountainous regions of Tibet and Nepal at altitudes of 3,500 to 5,000 meters.
An ancient legend tells that the Cordyceps mushroom was discovered by Tibetan yak herders. They noticed that the animals that grazed on this mushroom were healthier, more vibrant, and even more fertile. When the shepherds themselves began consuming the “strange” mushrooms, they noticed the same effect on themselves. Word of the mushroom’s health benefits quickly spread, and Cordyceps has been used in Chinese medicine ever since.
The collection of Cordyceps sinensis mushroom from natural habitats is limited in quantity. Due to the increased demand, this fascinating medicinal mushroom is cultivated on a special nutrient medium, from which the mycelium is obtained. The cultivated variety is called Cordyceps CS-4, and contains all the active substances found in the wild Cordyceps mushroom.
What does Cordyceps mushroom contain?
Cordyceps sinensis is a medicinal mushroom rich in nutrients and biologically active substances, such as:
- Cordycepin - a nucleoside, the most characteristic compound of this type of mushroom. Responsible for improving oxygen transport at the cellular level and inhibiting uncontrolled cell growth and division of tumor cells.
- Cordycepin acid - a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and slows down cell aging. It has a pronounced diuretic effect - stimulates the excretion of excess fluids and purification of the body. The ability to inhibit the replication of viruses determines cordycepin acid as a powerful natural antiviral agent.
The biologically active ingredients cordycepin and cordycepin acid have antidiabetic activity. Therefore, they can be used to prevent diabetes in people genetically predisposed to the disease.
- Adenosine is a nucleoside responsible for the beneficial effects on coronary and cerebral blood circulation, the prevention of cardiac arrhythmias and the optimal functioning of the nervous system.
- Polysaccharides - a complex type of carbohydrate that contains 1,3/1,6 beta-D-glucans - the main active substances in the mushroom. Beta-glucans activate the body's natural defense mechanisms when necessary and are known as natural regulators of the biological response.
- Triterpenes - some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory substances found in nature, which are a natural and effective alternative to steroids. They help balance hormones, reduce blood viscosity and prevent blood clots.
- Melatonin - a powerful antioxidant that contributes to improving sleep and restoring the body.
- Vitamins B1, B2, B12, K are important for energy production, reducing fatigue and exhaustion, proper formation of red blood cells and functioning of the immune system.
- Sterols: including ergosterol (a component of the cell membrane of fungi and a precursor of vitamin D2).
- Vitamin E - a powerful antioxidant, with an important role in the reproductive function of the body, called the "fertility vitamin".
- Minerals - potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, selenium, boron, iodine, chromium, phosphorus, each of which has a different role in the health of organs and systems in the body.
- Others - polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acid), ergosterol, all essential amino acids, fiber, etc.
