Cordicepin also has antitumor, anti-aging, antiviral and antlaycemic effect.
Benefits
Increased production
Cordyceps increases the production of adenosine trifosphate (ATP) molecule by the body - a universal energy source for all biochemical processes in the body.
Anti-aging action
According to many researchers, the high content of antioxidants in Cordycepsus explains his opposition to aging.
Imunomodulator
The main immunomodulating effects of polysaccharides obtained from Cordyceps Militaris include lymphoproliferative response, activation of natural killers, interleukin-2 products and tumor necrosis factor.
Overwhelming
Cordyceps suppresses the growth of many types of human cancer cells, including lung cancer, colon, leather and liver.Cordyceps also improves beam and chemotherapy tolerability, prevents the development of side effects in the treatment of various forms of cancer.
Reduction glycemies
