Q: What can you tell me about a Chinese
mushroom that is supposed to be good for energy, vitality, immune strengthening
and athletic performance?
A: Cordyceps was originally
used exclusively by the court of the Chinese emperors for restoring energy,
promoting longevity and improving the quality of life.
Ten thousand feet up on the mountain slopes of western China,
native Tibetans methodically search out one of the most unique and treasured
herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. Cordyceps sinensis is one of the most
valued and potent natural products in all of Chinese medicine. It has long been
used as a tonic for longevity, endurance and vitality for both men and women. It
is a very rare mushroom found in the high-attitude plateaus of China and Tibet.
Cordyceps has received little attention in the Western world. However, Chinese
athletes who used Cordyceps in their athletic training program surprised
everyone recently when they broke numerous world records and attributed their
performance in part to daily supplementation with Cordyceps.
The rare Cordyceps sinensis mushroom is small - usually less than
an inch high - and the annual harvest worldwide is less than 660 lbs. There are
more than 300 kinds of Cordyceps sinensis - but none compare to the Cordyceps
sinensis found in Tibet. The Tibetan Plateau, which is approximately 15,000 feet
above sea level, is home to some of the purest and highest-quality plants and
herbs in the world. Few plants survive in this environment - with high winds and
snow, intensive sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations and low oxygen levels
- but the plants that do survive, are extremely potent.
Noevir uses only the highest-quality Tibetan Cordyceps sinensis
mushrooms, harvested in May and June, before the snow is completely melted. And
with the help of Noevir's double-extraction technology, the final product is
pure, potent and provides maximum efficacy.
Noevir's
Cordyceps Sinensis
comes conveniently packaged in 30 single-serve doses.
Recommended daily dose is one stick. Dissolve in a cup of hot water (or a glass
of cold water) for a highly bio-available power drink. (Can also be taken in its
powder form with a sip of water, or it may be used in place of mushroom stock
when cooking.)
