Cordyceps mushrooms contain many active substances, including mannitol, cordycepin, nucleosides, ergosterol, aminophenol, and trace elements. These mushrooms have broad therapeutic effects, and their immune-regulating properties play an important role in cancer prevention and the prevention of kidney, liver, and heart disease.
The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2005) notes that Cordyceps mushrooms have a positive effect on kidney and lung function. They can be used to treat persistent cough caused by asthma.
In nature, Cordyceps sinensis (also known as “caterpillar fungus”) grows as a parasitic fungus on caterpillars (Zhu, Halpern, & Jones, 1998a; Zhu et al., 1998b), making it very rare. Cordyceps militaris has similar properties to Cordyceps sinensis and is often used by athletes – it increases blood flow while improving oxygenation of body cells, which translates into increased endurance in sports. It also acts as a natural antioxidant.

This mushroom is known in traditional Chinese medicine for its beneficial effects on kidney and lung function.
