Cordyceps Mushroom Powder
In 1993 Chinese women distance runners won six of nine medals at the World
Championships in Stuttgart, Germany in the 1,500, 3,000 and 10,000 meter
races. They were suspected According to their coach, Ma Junren,
they had been running 25 miles a day and had been using cordyceps
mushrooms.
Mike Brown jokingly refers to these as
"biceps mushrooms."
Here are some examples of what
cordyceps mushrooms did for people we used as "guinea pigs."
A man, age 35, told us that after
taking the cordyceps mushrooms he actually felt like getting up in the
morning for the first time in years. This same man was usually huffing and
puffing after 20 reps in the squat. After taking the cordyceps mushrooms
for several weeks, he finished doing 20 reps with 270. His two training
partners told him, "You're not even breathing hard!"
They insisted he put 315 on the bar.
With that weight he could do 20 more reps.
A woman, age 37, who is a marathon
runner, cut 2 minutes off her usual 50-minute morning run.
A woman, age 54, found doing full
extension leg lifts with 20 reps and assisted chin ups using her usual
setting much easier.
Not just any mushroom is going to have
this effect. There are 80,000 known species of mushrooms. That is only 5%
of what is actually out there.

How to take powdered cordyceps mushroom

Cordyceps is particularly protective
of the kidneys and is an effective treatment for
renal disease.
The herb exhibits protective
effects against aminogylcoside nephrotoxicity in geriatric
patients and protects against cyclosporine A-induced
nephrotoxicity in rats. Cordyceps has been shown to
increase
hemoglobin
and stimulation of
reticulocytes
in the blood count and also decrease
blood urea nitrogen
(BUN). It is antiasthmatic, assists
smooth muscle relaxation and can potentiate the effects of

Excerpt from
, pp. 61-62:
Cordyceps (short for Cordyceps sinensis) is a rare Chinese
mushroom that grows naturally on certain species of
caterpillars. Fortunately, the cordyceps that are used
today are cultivated through fermentation--that means,
without caterpillars! For thousands of years, cordyceps
have been used by Chinese healers as tonic for sexual
vigor and overall vitality. It makes sense that cordyceps
would be an effective aphrodisiac. Similar to ginkgo and
other sex-enhancing herbs, cordyceps increases arterial
blood flow, which sends more blood flowing to the pelvic
area.
According to Chinese studies, cordyceps
can also improve athletic performance. A recent
double-blind crossover study performed at St. Cloud State
University in Minnesota confirms that, when combined with
other tonic herbs, including Asian ginseng, enoki
mushroom, green tangerine peel, reishi mushroom, and
Siberian ginseng, cordyceps can speed recovery in
athletes. . . .
In the study, twelve well-trained
college athletes were either given a placebo or 950 mg. of
the combination herbal formula for five weeks. At
the end of the five weeks, the athletes cycled intensely
for twenty minutes, rested for twelve minutes, then
completed cycling. There was little difference in
performance between the two groups, although those who
took the herbs finished slightly faster than the placebo
group.
The real difference, however, was in
the accumulation of lactic acid postexercise. Those
who took the herbs had significantly less lactic-acid
build up. As many of you know, lactic acid is a
byproduct of glucose that builds up in muscles during
anaerobic exercise (high-intensity exercise like
weight-lifting or sprinting).
Lactic acid buildup is what makes
muscles sore after a hard workout. From this study,
it's reasonable to assume that cordyceps may help speed
recover after intense exercise. Given its long-standing
reputation as a tonic herb, it may also help relieve
fatigue. Given its long-standing
reputation as a tonic herb, it may also help relieve
fatigue.
Possible Benefits
Reduces lactic acid buildup in muscles. May enhance
energy and stamina.
