The main chemical components and health care functions of Cordyceps militaris are similar to those of natural Cordyceps sinensis, and it is even more rare that its effective components are more than those of Cordyceps sinensis. The safe and controllable cultivation method of Cordyceps militaris fundamentally avoids the problems of unsustainable mining, sitting on the ground and starting at a high price, and unable to ensure the safety of ingredients.

The National Collection of Chinese Herbal Medicine clearly points out that Cordyceps militaris can be used as Cordyceps sinensis.
