Ganodermashop.net presents:6 Cordyceps Secrests You probobly never heard...
You've
probably heard about how cordyceps worth even more than gold. But what is the
real attraction of this hardy herb that makes it so highly prized?
1.
Animals can get high on cordyceps
Even
animals recognise the value of cordyceps. Himalayan yak herders first
discovered that their animals became remarkably energetic and invigorated after
grazing on an unidentified brown grass-like mushroom, growing from the head of
a caterpillar.
2.
Your survival chances with cordyceps improve greatly
Being
stranded in a storm, your chances of survival look bleak. Yet a certain lucky
Tibetan shepherd narrowly escaped the clutches of death, after finding and
eating cordyceps. Cordyceps had helped him regain his energy and escape the
storm. Marvelled villagers then named the sprout 'Yartsa Gunbu' - 'Winter Worm,
Summer Grass', for its life-giving properties. Then therapeutic effects of
cordyceps were first recorded in the oldest Tibetan medical dictionary in 710
AD.
3.
Cordyceps increases the energy currency (ATP) in our body
While
money is transacted in dollars and cents, energy is transacted in
Adenoise-Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is high-energy molecule present in every
single body cell and stores the energy we need to do just about anything and
everything. It is also responsible for other essential body functions like
muscle contraction, metabolism and cell growth. When our body systems are
imbalanced (hormone disorders, improper nutrition, stress-related discomfort
etc). ATP levels can be depleted at faster rate than they can be replenished.
Energy levels drop and fatigue sets in. Cordyceps acts like a shot of caffeine
to our lifeless bodies by increasing ATP levels which in turn translates to
more energy throughout your day. And unlike caffeine which wears off shortly,
the effects of cordyceps are longer-lasting, which means you can enjoy a
constant state of vitality.

Cordyceps was reserved as an exclusive treat for only royalty in past
As
cordyceps typically grows 10,000 square feet in the pristine wilderness of the
mountainous regions of China, Tibet and Nepal, the harvesting of cordyceps
involves precarious situations of scaling high altitudes and braving sub-zero
temperatures. Due to its scarcity and highly treasured properties for healing
and longevity, in ancient China, Cordyceps was exclusively set aside for
consumption by emperors.
5.
Surprise! Cordyceps is neither a worm nor a grass
Despite
cordyceps' literal translation from its Chinese name - 'Winter Worm-Summer
Grass', cordyceps is neither a worm nor a grass. Instead, it is a unique fungus
that feeds on a worm (Ghost moth larvae). In a somewhat cruel fashion, the
fungus slowly replaces the host tissue of the hibernating worm during the winter
months, making this completion during the summer months, where a grass-like
shoot erupts from the head of the fungus, thus giving the name 'Winter
Worm-Summer Grass' a symbolic significance.
6.
Cordyceps is the 'extraordinary secret weapon' behind many world medals
At
the Chinese National Games in 1993, a group of female athletes from Northeast
China won a series of medals and broke no less than 17 world records! Shocked,
disbelieving outsider raised suspicion, claiming the athletes' excellent
performance was owed to steroid abuse. Truth be told, the 'big secret' was
simply a cordyceps drink which their coach revealed was taken regularly as part
of the training regime.
