Cordyceps

The use of cordyceps dates back to ancient China and has primarily been used to treat kidney, lung and liver conditions.  It has also been used in modern times as an anti-cancer, anti-tumor agent. There has been extensive research conducted in China on the benefits of Cordyceps.   Cordyceps helped improve Creatinine, BUN and hemoglobin counts in a clinical study of chronic renal patients.  In another study, Cordyceps helped to not only improve kidney function but acted to protect against damage from certain potentially harmful toxins.  Another study showed the Cordyceps was beneficial for patients with hypertension.  Cordyceps is routinely used by Chinese Physicans for the treatment of various kidney diseases and hypertension.

Cordyceps is thought to possess anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties as well.  It has been shown to boost depressed immune function by increasing natural killer cell activity.   The inhibition of cancer cells by Cordyceps is primarily due to polysaccharides that stimulate the defenses of the immune system.  In China, it has shown outstanding results with lung cancer and lymphoma patients.  It has also been helpful in a study on chronic heptatis B patients where blood albumin levels and overall protein metabolism was improved using Cordyceps.  Also, patients with heart and lung conditions with difficulty breathing have found Cordyceps helpful because it enhances bronchodilation.

If you have a pet with respiratory issues, it would certainly be worth giving Cordyceps a try.  It has been used routinely for lung diseases, asthma and other respiratory conditions and considered a lung “tonic”.  Research has also shown that Cordyceps has anti-inflammatory properties which would be especially helpful for lung congestion.

Overall, this is a wonderful herb that has been time-tested and used for a variety of conditions.  The manufacturer of this product uses the highest quality controls and manufacturing standards.
