"Is a blend of cordyceps sinensis and Hepialus armoricanus from the high elevation regions of China. This ""Chinese Caterpillar"" fungus has been used as an adaptogen (for ch'i) in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Its use in this country has been primarily confined to energy production dynamics with applications in athletic enhancement and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS*). Research has shown an increase in liver ATP:Pi (inorganic phosphate) ratio indicating more energy within the liver for metabolism. Other areas of benefit are increasing SOD (an overall antioxidant) activity, strengthening immune function, kidney function and improving glucose metabolism.* "

Amazing stuff!Jan 26, 2012
By sceptical shaman This is some very potent stuff. After chemo, I felt weak and my memory went down. I started taking Cordyceps from MRM and I suddenly noticed that I was much sharper at work than before and I have much more energy. I do take up to 6 capsules daily, though. I am subscribing for 2 pack offer from Amazon. I tried cordyceps from other brannds and never saw any effect before.

Not worth the moneyDec 31, 2009
By swords's girl This product upset my stomach for days. It didn't matter whether I took it with a meal or not, whether I took the recommended dosage or less. It also made me burp, and it left a nasty taste in my mouth. To top it off, I didn't lose an ounce. Don't waste your money on this product.

Overview and history, use in medicine:Oct 09, 2005

"echep2-trekkie"
ok, chinese catarpillar is another name for the 1 active ingredient listed, but it is not clear that that is what it is referring to-- it is a nickname for the Cordyceps sinensis mushroom, also called (Sphaeria sinensis, Dong Chong Xia Cao). "Cordyceps is used for a wide range of conditions including fatigue, sexual dysfunction, coughs, and as an adaptogen or immune stimulant. Cordyceps was originally a rare herb derived from a fungus - Hepialus armoricanus Oberthuer - found growing on caterpillar larvae. Recently researchers have developed fermentation processes to produce large quantities of pharmaceutically pure cordyceps that is identical to the wild variety. Traditional Chinese Medicine Cordyceps is an absolute superstar of the Chinese tonic herbal system, and is an extremely effective and powerful life-enhancing agent, equal to Ginseng and Reishi. Cordyceps is said to build sexual and physical power, mental energy, the immune system and is universally believed in Asia to prolong life... used daily as an anti-aging agent and for the purposes of rejuvenation. As a sexual tonic, Cordyceps is considered to have a profound long range strengthening capacity. It is commonly used for impotence, sexual malaise, frigidity and infertility. Consistent use of Cordyceps helps to strengthen the skeletal structure, and specifically benefits the lower back region, the knees and ankles. It is used for backache due to injury, fatigue, stress or simple aging. Cordyceps is also a major Lung tonic. recovering from an illness or an operation, or after giving birth. In these cases, the Cordyceps helps the patient recover their physical power, to improve their appetite, and to protect the body from infection. Many studies now indicate that Cordyceps can help the body resist a wide range of pathogenic bacteria, fungi and viruses... and possibly cancer." -from:(...)
....Oh, and by the way, another product/ mushroom called agaricus blazei is a misnomer for agaricus braziliencis, so says Dr. Paul Stamets, the mushroom guru and researcher, in his catalog for mycomedicinals series by newchapter & other stuff he sells. It is also called himemsutake in Japan and God's Mushroom, and apparently is the same as Royal Agaricus [?]-- it seems to cost less under this name, but has long been heralded in Brazil for its energizing and healing properties.
