Cordyceps CS4 400mg 150 capsules

Cordyceps Sinensis | JHS Natural
For Energy and Endurance*    

Cordyceps Sinensis Cs-4 is one of the most valued medicinal fungi in all of Classical Chinese Medicine. Once reserved exclusively for emperors, this versatile mushroom is now the tonic of choice among world-class competitive athletes.*

Cordyceps attracted public attention when a group of Chinese runners, who reported using Cordyceps extract to enhance endurance and recovery, broke nine world records in the World Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Germany. Modern clinical applications and research closely mirror those uses described in Classical Chinese Medicine.*

Clinically, Cordyceps is used to build and support immune function in various immune compromised conditions including chronic fatigue, cancer, and respiratory conditions, especially asthma.*

Cordyceps Extracts and Stress

Because of the adrenal support Cordyceps extracts can provide, they may be especially useful for people dealing with excessive psychological or physical stress.* Cordyceps sinensis extracts help to balance the HPA axis. By helping to balance the HPA axis Cordyceps extracts may also help with other manifestations of stress such as reducing fatigue, anxiety and insomnia, helping to promote better sleep.

Like the other medicinal mushrooms, Cordyceps must be prepared as a hot water extract to be effective for supporting immune health. Hot water extracts are the only supplemental form of Cordyceps ever used in TCM or tested in the scientific research. The beta glucan rich polysaccharides that provide the immune health benefits are locked up inside the indigestible cell walls of the mushrooms and mycelium. The only way to break these active compounds out into a bioavailable form is through hot water extraction or hot water/alcohol extraction.*

Extraction Information
Wild Cordyceps fruit bodies and cultivated Cordyceps mycelium have demonstrated equal levels of immune activity,* neither being superior to the other.6 Most of the modern clinical research has been conducted with hot-water extracts of the cultivated mycelium. The optimal preparation for both is a hot-water or hot-water/ethanol extract.

Our product is a hot-water/ethanol extract from the Cs-4 strain. The mycelium is grown on an all-natural chemical-free nutrient base. This process yields all of the active constituents that make Cordyceps one of the most highly prized medicinal mushrooms.

Description
Latin ... Cordyceps sinensis
Chinese ... Dong chong xia cao
Common Name ... Caterpillar Mushroom

Cordyceps is found in the highlands of China, Tibet, and Nepal, above 10,000 feet. In China it is called "winter worm, summer grass" and the "caterpillar mushroom." In the wild, Cordyceps infects insect larvae and mature insects with its spores. The myceliuim then grows inside the body of the host, eventually killing it. A mushroom then fruits from the body of the dead host, always growing from the insect's head. The small slender fruit body resembles a blade of grass and is a half inch to one and a half inches long.
