Cordyceps, which was initially discovered growing on caterpillar larvae in high altitudes in the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau, has a long history of use in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to improve vitality, fight fatigue and increase longevity. Cultivated Cordyceps militaris, the commercially viable analogue of the wild Cordyceps sinensis, is now providing the same incredible benefits, at a sustainable, cost-effective price.
Using state of the art biotechnology, Azoth Biotech grows and extracts Cordyceps militaris to manufacture consistent, high-cordycepin extracts to the sports nutrition, nutraceutical and functional food market.
The Bioactive Compounds in Cordyceps Militaris.
Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) - the bioactive marker, associated with energy, immunity, and anti-tumor activity.
• Adenosine - helps maintain the heart and the use of oxygen.
• Beta-glucans - immune-modulating polysaccharides
• Ergosterol - a precursor of Vitamin D2.
• Mannitol - offers antioxidant and renal protective properties.
Best Cordyceps Militaris Benefits.
The first one is improved athletic performance and VO2 max.
Several clinical trials demonstrate that Cordyceps militaris supplementation profoundly enhances maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) which is one of the key measures of aerobic fitness. Cordyceps improves oxygen flow to muscles and aid in the production of ATP, thus enabling athletes to train more, recuperate more quickly, and perform more intensely.
This renders it a more and more well-liked part of pre-workout, endurance, and sports recovery formulations.
Anti-Fatigue and Energy Amplification 2.
Cordycepin has a direct effect on the work of mitochondria - energy-producing organelles in cells. Clinically, Cordyceps militaris decreases fatigue, increases physical recovery following strenuous activity by elevating ATP production and decreasing oxidative stress in muscle tissue.
3. Immune System Modulation
Cordyceps beta-glucans and cordycepin stimulate natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages - which are essential parts of innate immunity. Cordyceps is an immune modulator unlike the simple immune stimulants and it boosts the immune system of the body only when required and balances it to avoid over-stimulation.
4. Sexual Health and Libido Support.
Historically Cordyceps has served as a natural aphrodisiac with contemporary scientific evidence backing its effectiveness as an aphrodisiac, testosterone level modulator, sexual dysfunction and sperm quality enhancer in men and women. This will put it in a good position to develop men's health and fertility supplement formulations.
5. Lung Function and Respiratory Health.
The history of Cordyceps use in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic bronchitis is long. Research indicates that it dilates bronchial smooth muscle, decreases airway inflammation, and overall lung performance, which is useful in populations in high-pollution areas.
6. Blood Sugar Regulation
Preclinical and early clinical studies indicate that Cordyceps militaris has the potential to be used to manage blood glucose levels by imitating the activity of insulin and enhancing insulin sensitivity - it is a promising addition in metabolic health formulations.
7. Anti-Aging and Antioxidant Properties.
The Cordyceps compounds show strong free-radical scavenging properties, such as Cordycepin. Cordyceps militaris lowers oxidative stress, one of the main causes of cellular aging, and promotes healthy longevity and possibly alleviates age-related cognitive and physical impairments.
8. Liver and kidney Protection.
The use of Cordyceps in traditional TCM was very much concerned with the kidney and liver tonic effects. Current studies indicate hepatoprotective (liver-protective) and nephroprotective (kidney-protective) action, especially with regard to supplement preparations aimed at metabolic detoxification and kidney well-being.
9. Anti-Tumor and Immunotherapeutic Potential.
Much research attention has been given to cordycepin because it can prevent the growth of cancer cells in a variety of ways, such as causing cancer cell death (apoptosis) and suppressing the movement of tumor cells. Although this is not a medical product, this study is the basis of Cordyceps in high-end wellness and longevity products.
Cordyceps Militaris vs Cordyceps Sinensis: The Brands Lose to Militaris.
Cordyceps sinensis: Wild-harvested, very rare, highly expensive, variable quality, ethical issues of over-harvesting.
Cordyceps militaris: Grown in controlled environments, uniform cordycepin-standardization, much cheaper, more sustainable and scalable to commercial preparations.
The Cordyceps militaris extract produced by Azoth Biotech is a constant producer of high-grade cordycepin over many other wild Cordyceps sinensis products of equivalent cost.
