Herbal Remedy Mushroom For Cholesterol and More

Think Tibetan yak herdsmen have anything in common with cholesterol?

In a clinical alternative medicine study on the Cordyceps Sinensis, a medicinal mushroom first discovered in Tibet, Cordyceps was found to lower cholesterol. The study was conducted at nine hospitals, with more than 250 patients participating. The fungus was given daily for two months. It not only lowered bad cholesterol, but raised the levels of "good" cholesterol.

This interesting "herbal medicine" became a respected TMC (Traditional Chinese Medicine) drug centuries ago to generally improve strength and circulation.

Tibetan herdsmen saw their yak growing stronger when eating this "grass" growing on the snowy fringes. The grass was actually a combination of a parasitic fungus and caterpillar. The fungus grows inside the caterpillar and kills it. Whatever is left of the caterpillar, decomposes and feeds this fungus. The Tibetans harvest it in strands and dry it, to sell later as a remedy for reducing high cholesterol, improving male sexual function, and now, improving sports performance.

Further studies published in Alternative Medicine Review showed cordyceps sinensis was highly effective in preventing the recurrence of lupus nephritis, an inflammation of the kidneys.

Cordyceps Sinensis does not cause any known side effects (in at least 1000 years). And you need no more than about three to 10 grams a day, to reap its benefits.
