Cordyceps Mushrooms Benefits

Cordyceps mushroom supplements, Wang, Qu and Zhang - what exactly is the link? These names probably mean nothing to you. But if you were told that Wang, Qu and Zhang were the three Chinese athletes who introduced the west to cordyceps mushrooms - in a somehow indirect way - you'll say "aha!" Yes, these three Chinese females caught the world's attention at the Beijing National Games in 1993 by being the top runners of the race. At first there were rumors that they were on steroids but after they were examined, they were eventually cleared of all steroids charges. So if they weren't on steroids, what made these athletes excel on the track and field? Their coach revealed to the press that they were taking cordyceps mushroom supplements regularly before the competition. And that's how cordyceps mushrooms made it to the consciousness of hundreds, if not thousands of people. People who were looking to take a natural energy booster and to eliminate their chronic fatigue and exhaustion were suddenly looking to cordyceps mushroom supplements as a potential savior.

What are Cordyceps Mushrooms? What are Adaptogens?

Cordyceps mushrooms are natural adaptogens. Over 70 years ago Soviet scientists were researching natural herbal remedies that could improve health without causing harmful side-effects. In 1947, one of these scientists,
Dr. Lazarev came up with the term 'adaptogen' to describe a natural remedy that improves the body's resistance to trauma, fatigue, anxiety or stress. In 1968 adaptogens were defined by Israel I. Brekhman, PhD, and I.V. Dardymov as:

1. Non-toxic.
2. Producing nonspecific response in the body by improving the resistance to various physical, chemical or biological stressors.
3. Has a normalizing influence upon the physiology of the person taking the adaptogen.

So, basically, an adaptogen is non-toxic and has few or no side-effects and must increase the resistance of the individual taking it. Scientists have known for many years that mushrooms are good for health and mushrooms barely contain any calories.

Natural Cordyceps Mushroom supplements make it easy to assure you are getting pure natural adaptogens on a daily basis. Take it from the UK Mushroom Bureau itself: mushrooms are a superfood and contain very little fat and sodium. People who know about mushrooms associate it with weight control. The question is: are people aware that some mushrooms are actually classified as medicinal and that some of these medicinal mushrooms have other benefits apart from weight control? That's where cordyceps mushroom supplements come in. People buy cordyceps supplements and add them to help boost their energy and resistance. Cordyceps mushrooms are often compared to ginseng. As everyone knows, one of ginseng's many advantages is its ability to fight fatigue.

Cordyceps Mushrooms: Relief for Exhaustion and Chronic Fatigue

Symptoms of exhaustion and chronic fatigue include feeling worn out or constantly tired. Mental exhaustion can cause numerous problems and prevent us from a fully satisfying life. Exhaustion can affect our relationships, work and recreation. If we don't take these warning signs seriously exhaustion can lead to serious consequences such as overwhelming stress, 'burnout', anxiety, depression and a weakened immune system.

Chinese traditional practitioners believe that cordyceps mushrooms have the inherent ability to restore energies that are wiped out due to chronic stress. One cause of chronic fatigue is the body's lack of oxygen and an erratic respiratory system. Chinese herbalists say that cordyceps mushrooms re-balance the Yin and Yang forces, giving back lost energy to our bodies. Fatigue can also be caused by chronic illnesses like asthma, tuberculosis and bronchitis. The Chinese look to cordyceps mushrooms for alleviating the symptoms of respiratory disorders and lung weakness. A study in 1986 by Lou et al showed that mice that were kept in a place with low levels of oxygen were able to use and absorb oxygen with 40% more efficiency when fed cordyceps mushrooms. A Chinese study conducted in the early and mid 90s also showed that cordyceps mushroom supplements provide relief for the negative effects of old age. When the elderly easily get tired, they become more susceptible to all kinds of disorders like frequent dizzy spells, flu, insomnia or amnesia but older people who consumed cordyceps mushrooms regularly showed a significant rate of improvement. Athletes - because of strenuous physical activity - can be subject to burnout or fatigue. Some coaches recommend cordyceps mushrooms, particularly after the Chinese athletes revealed their "secret formula for stamina." Track and field runners take formulas containing Cordyceps to improve aerobic levels.  

Cordyceps Mushrooms and Adrenal Fatigue

Hypoadrenia - or adrenal fatigue - is a common condition characterized by lack of sleep, dizziness, frequent tiredness, flu, anxiety, panic attacks, lack of concentration and other symptoms related to general fatigue and exhaustion. Not all people exhibit the same symptoms and at the same degree, because adrenal fatigue "wears" many faces. One common thread is that the symptoms lead to feelings of weakness. The culprit that takes the most blame is stress. But why is it that some people are able to manage inordinate amounts of stress and others can't? Diet, exercise and lifestyles can probably account for these differences, but instead of running to the doctor, people should consider taking health supplements that are safe and natural. Cordyceps mushrooms, being a plant, are natural supplements that can help reinforce the immune system to help our bodies fight adrenal fatigue symptoms. Cordyceps are grown in high altitudes in China, Tibet and Nepal and have earned the name "winter worm, summer grass." Cordyceps in the summer have brown stalks that grow when winter is over, and the benefits associated with Cordyceps are derived from these brown stalks.

Other Benefits of Cordyceps Mushroom Supplements

Here are some of the other benefits of cordyceps mushrooms:

• Supports the immune system in fighting cancer, and renal and respiratory illnesses
• Increases hemoglobin and decreases blood urea nitrogen
• Promotes muscle relaxation
• Helps fight free radicals
• Helps relieve aging disorders
• Brings about lower levels of cholesterol
• Stimulates sperm production and sexual health
• Helps reduce stress
• Promotes a stable central nervous system
• Improves athletic skills, stamina and endurance

Manufacturers of cordyceps supplements or formulas say that the harsher the environment in which cordyceps mushrooms grow, the better their quality. This plant thrives in high elevations in China, Nepal and Tibet as we mentioned earlier. Environments at 15,000 feet above sea level are harsh with little oxygen supply. Living organisms that survive these conditions are said to be hardier and sturdier with a high capacity for adaptability and survival - just like the cordyceps mushrooms that grow in these conditions. To highlight the benefits of cordyceps mushrooms, we have borrowed an extract of a testimonial from a Mary W of Albuquerque, New Mexico which we read from an online article. Mary said, "Today, after three months on Cordyceps, my energy level is greatly improved, my mental clarity is enhanced, and my physical dexterity is better overall. I am free of the pain that I suffered with for so long."
