Cordyceps sinensis

This medicinal mushroom has been used in China for thousands of years as a natural tonic against the aging process and to increase vitality.

Since the Cordyceps sinensis is in great demand as a medicinal mushroom and is rarely found in nature, it has to be cultivated with great effort. As a result, the Chinese core leg in particular was one of the most expensive mushrooms in the world.

In addition to polysaccharides, the nutrient-rich mushroom contains many trace elements and vitamins. In addition, it has active ingredients such as cordycepin and galactomannan, which have an antibacterial effect and can strengthen the immune system.

The Cordyceps was used successfully by Chinese athletes in the 1990s to increase their endurance and performance.
