Like other members of the Cordyceps genus, C. militaris produces the pharmacologically active compound cordycepin. Cordycepin is a nucleoside analogue of adenosine-differing by only a single hydroxyl group. It has been shown to induce apoptosis, reduce inflammation, and inhibit RNA transcription in cell cultures.
Cordyceps, a genus of more than 400 species within the order Hypocreales, are commonly known as vegetable caterpillars, or caterpillar fungi. C. militaris parasitizes insects. It forms a small, 3- or 4-centimetre (about 1.3-inch) mushroomlike fruiting structure with a bright orange head, or cap.
6 Benefits of Cordyceps, All Backed by Science
Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi that grows on the larvae of insects.
When these fungi attack their host, they replace its tissue and sprout long, slender stems that grow outside the hostâ??s body.
The remains of the insect and fungi have been hand-collected, dried and used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries to treat fatigue, sickness, kidney disease and low sex drive.
Supplements and products containing Cordyceps extract have become increasingly popular due to their many purported health benefits.
Of the more than 400 species of Cordyceps discovered, two have become the focus of health research: Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris.
However, much of this research is limited to animal or lab studies, so health experts currently canâ??t draw conclusions about their effects on people.
However, their potential health benefits are promising.
This article highlights 6 potential benefits of Cordyceps, based on science.
1. May Boost Exercise Performance
2. Anti-Aging Properties
3. Potential Anti-Tumor Effects
4. May Help Manage Type 2 Diabetes
5. Possible Benefits for Heart Health
6. May Help Fight Inflammation
Dosages
Due to limited research in humans, there is no consensus on dosages.
The dosage commonly used in human research is 1,000â??3,000 mg per day. This range is not associated with side effects and has been found to have certain health benefits.
Side Effects and Safety
No studies have yet examined the safety of Cordyceps in humans.
However, a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests they are nontoxic.
In fact, the Chinese government approved Cordyceps CS-4 for use in hospitals and recognizes it as a safe, natural drug (32).
