Why cordyceps?
Used in traditional Chinese medicine since 1694 when it was first documented as an aphrodisiac, cordyceps are consumed for their immuno-modulating and performance enhancing properties. They are traditionally consumed to promote blood flow and increase energy. The mechanisms being studied for this outcome involves the primary active compound, cordycepin, and other secondary metabolites. These compounds are believed to increase ATP production and agonize adenosine on all adenosine receptors in the human body from sleep regulation to organ tissue repair.
Cordycepin is an anti-metabolite and is currently being studied for its anti-cancerous properties due to this. It is also for this reason that some extractors are beginning to investigate the bio-viability of cordycepin itself, thus leading many to believe that other secondary metabolites are having the most effect on human biology.
Potential benefits from cordyceps consumption could include:
· Anti-inflammation
· Supportive kidney and respiratory health
· Increased oxygen utilization, lower oxidative stress, and increased blood flow
· Increased ATP production
· Blood pressure regulation
· Blood sugar regulation
· Balanced circadian rhythms
· Increased libido
· Stronger immune system
· Repairing damaged bodily tissue
How to use:
Cordyceps mushrooms are commonly consumed by steeping in hot water to make a tea, extracting with an alcohol soak, and/or using other fungi to break down the fungi. These extraction methods are all valuable on their own or in combination. The mushroom itself is can also be eaten after the extraction application. Choosing your preferred extraction method is based on your desired ease of use and preferred efficacy.
What are cordyceps?
Cordyceps is a parasitic fungus in the natural environment, known to infect insects from caterpillars, beetles, ants, wasps, and more. When they infect their host, they take over the nervous system and control the insects’ movements guiding them to a convenient place for the mushroom to fruit, spread its spores, and reproduce once more.
On our farm, we do not grow on insects. Instead, we grow on U.S. grown gluten free grains, most of which are produced here in the state of Colorado. We often use various nutrients and minerals curated to mimic the critters they inhabit in the wild to improve growth conditions and potency.
The cordyceps are then dehydrated after harvest and packaged to ensure freshness.
Disclaimer: These claims have not been evaluated or approved by the FDA; however, it is approved by the FDA as a dietary supplement and is actively being promoted by pharmaceutical companies as the key ingredient in a cancer treatment drug. Other claims are based on scientific papers concerning cordyceps and reported experience.
