Ten major effects
Cordyceps sinensis is not a "worm" in winter and a "grass" in summer, but a fungus-Cordyceps sinensis of ergotaceae. Modern science has discovered more and more magical effects of Cordyceps sinensis. Generally speaking, Cordyceps sinensis not only has the function of regulating various organs of human body, but also has some direct disease-resistant functions.
First, regulate the immune system function
The immune system is equivalent to the army in the human body, which resists tumors internally, removes aging and necrotic cells and tissues, and fights against microbial infections such as viruses and bacteria externally. The human body may have mutated tumor cells every day. People with normal immune system function can escape the bad luck of tumors, but people with problems with immune system function may develop tumors. The effect of Cordyceps sinensis on the immune system seems to be adjusting the volume to make it in the best state. It can not only increase the number of cells and tissues in the immune system, promote antibody production, increase the number of phagocytic and killer cells, enhance their functions, but also lower the functions of some immune cells.
Second, direct anti-tumor effect
Cordyceps sinensis extract has a clear inhibitory and killing effect on tumor cells in vitro. Cordyceps sinensis contains cordycepin, which is the main component of its anti-tumor effect.
The clinical use of cordycepin is mostly for adjuvant treatment of malignant tumors, and the symptoms are improved by more than 9 1.7%. Mainly used for patients with nasal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, brain cancer and other malignant tumors. The content of cordycepic acid in Cordyceps militaris is 3.09 grams, and that in wild Cordyceps militaris is 5.54 grams. Cordycepic acid is a D-mannitol, which can increase the osmotic pressure of plasma, lead to water in tissues entering blood vessels, thus reducing tissue edema and replenishing plasma.
Third, improve cell energy and resist fatigue
Cordyceps sinensis can improve the energy of mitochondria, the energy factory of human body, improve the cold tolerance of the body and reduce fatigue.
Fourth, regulate heart function
Cordyceps sinensis can improve the hypoxia tolerance of the heart, reduce the oxygen consumption of the heart and resist arrhythmia.
V. Regulating liver function
Cordyceps sinensis can reduce the damage of toxic substances to the liver and resist the occurrence of liver fibrosis. In addition, it plays a beneficial role in viral hepatitis by regulating immune function and enhancing antiviral ability.
Six, regulate the function of respiratory system
Cordyceps sinensis has the functions of dilating bronchi, relieving asthma, eliminating phlegm and preventing emphysema.
Seven, regulating kidney function
Cordyceps sinensis can alleviate the renal pathological changes of chronic diseases, improve renal function and reduce the damage of toxic substances to the kidney.
Eight, regulating hematopoietic function
Cordyceps sinensis can enhance the ability of bone marrow to produce platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells.
Nine, regulating blood lipids
Cordyceps sinensis can reduce cholesterol and triglyceride in blood, increase high-density lipoprotein beneficial to human body and alleviate atherosclerosis.
X. Others
Cordyceps sinensis also has the functions of direct antivirus, regulating the function of central nervous system and regulating sexual function. Cordyceps sinensis can play such a comprehensive health care role on the human body, which is amazing and worthy of the reputation of "Xiancao" since ancient times. In modern society, taking Cordyceps sinensis is not only a guarantee of one's own health, but more importantly, it brings the ultimate healthy quality of life. The anti-fatigue effect of Cordyceps sinensis is a very common phenomenon. It can be divided into two types: disease fatigue and non-disease fatigue. Generally speaking, as long as non-disease fatigue can be eliminated by sleep, exercise, entertainment and so on. However, the disease fatigue is not good, and we can only eliminate the symptoms by drug treatment. However, the discovery of Cordyceps sinensis not only plays a preventive role in disease fatigue, but also plays a preventive role in non-disease fatigue-a lot of lactic acid and metabolites will accumulate in muscle tissue after exercise or fatigue. Cordyceps sinensis can regulate human endocrine, accelerate the blood flow, further promote the metabolic activity in the body to be normal, and quickly remove lactic acid and metabolic products, so that all serum enzyme indicators can quickly return to normal, and achieve the effect of rapidly restoring body function. Therefore, Cordyceps sinensis has anti-fatigue effect.
