CORDYCEPS ; NATURES SUNSHINE Cordyceps [Circulatory, Immune, Respiratory, Glandular] is perhaps best known as the supplement that members of the Chinese women’s track and field team used in training before they broke several records in 1993 and 1994. Team members tested negative for using illegal substances, and their coach revealed that the athletes’ diets were supplemented with a Chinese “caterpillar fungus.” Fungi supplements—like reishi and shiitake mushrooms—are growing in popularity in the U.S. Another important species, Cordyceps sinensis, is also gaining recognition. Cordyceps has properties similar to those of ginseng and is traditionally used to help the body build strength and endurance. In traditional Chinese medicine, cordyceps has been used to benefit the glandular system in both women and men. In addition, cordyceps supports the kidneys, aids the upper respiratory tract and helps the body maintain proper blood viscosity. CAUTION: Cordyceps is safe for adults, but people using immune-suppressing drugs, anticoagulant drugs or bronchodilators should consult their health care practitioners before using this product. Pregnant or lactating women should avoid using this product. Store in a cool, dry place. Take 2–3 capsules with a meal three times daily. The NSP Advantage NSP is one of the first companies to make this product available in Western society. Our Cordyceps provides a higher level of purity and more consistent quality and standard than Cordyceps grown in the wild. This is due to the controlled environment and the cultivation processes NSP utilizes. The natural strain of Cordyceps we offer (CS-4) most closely matches that of the wild-crafted Cordyceps sinensis so highly prized that grows atop the high plateaus of Tibet. Other forms of Cordyceps on the market may be different species or strains of Cordyceps and may not offer its complete benefits.
