The Effective Way to Reduce Fatigue, Improve the Immune System and Regulate Sexual Function

Please note: GrownUps is not a health professional.  We provide product information from companies. We are not making recommendations and we accept no responsibility for decisions made as a result of using the information provided.

Nowadays, medicine pays great attention to the relationship between human health and diet, which is not only an energy source but also a significant factor in the normal function of all the body’s systems and its resiliency to various adverse environmental effects.

Comprehensive research on the diet of a modern society shows widespread inadequate intake of essential nutritional components. Changes in our lifestyle and the environment in which we live have had a decisive influence on the structure of the diet in all economically developed countries.

An unbalanced diet often leads to malfunction of the body, resulting in the so-called ‘diseases of civilisation’ such as obesity, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, cancer, allergies and diabetes.

A balanced diet can not be achieved simply by increasing the consumption of organic food – it requires new approaches. Most nutritionists and scientists recommend dietary supplements as a solution. According to the World Health Authority, 80 per cent of the world’s population relies on holistic medicine as their main form of healthcare.

Vegetables and fruit can serve as a reliable source of only two vitamins: ascorbic (vitamin C) and folic acid and carotene. The main sources of B vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins A, E and D are high-calorie foods such as meat, liver, kidney, eggs, milk, butter and cooking oil, bread, cereals, buckwheat, oats, millet and brown rice – but in quantities that far exceed people’s current habits and needs.

The popularity of dietary supplements is growing rapidly – today, we can observe a huge variety of vitamins, minerals and other supplements sitting on the shelves of supermarkets.

Research shows that most promising product that currently exists in the market is Cordysen™, which is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, more than 80 types of enzymes (including CoQ10) and polysaccharides. Cordysen™ owes it healing quality to the extract of Cordyceps sinensis.

Comprehensive research has been done on the effect of Cordyceps on the functions of the body. Some of the studies were published by the New Zealand Herald and BBC World.

The range of therapeutic uses for Cordyceps is very broad. In TCM, Cordyceps has been used to treat a wide range of conditions, including respiratory, immune, renal and liver disorders, cardiovascular diseases and impotency.

The best known effect of Cordyceps is the relief of fatigue. In a placebo-controlled clinical study of elderly patients with chronic fatigue, results showed that most people treated with Cordyceps reported significant improvement in feelings of fatigue, cold and dizziness. Cordyceps increases the cellular ATP level (the molecule that actually releases energy in the cell) and the oxygen utilisation, which results in extra energy and easier breathing.

Various clinical studies have showed that Cordyceps strengthens resistance to infections, colds and flues and generally improves the homeostasis of the individual. Cordyceps effectively alleviates symptoms of respiratory diseases, including chronic bronchitis and asthma.

Research has also shown that Cordyceps helps with male and female sexual dysfunction by affecting the sex hormone system and directly acting on the sexual organs. Studies conducted on people with decreased sex drive demonstrated a 64.8% improvement rate, compared to 23.8% improvement in a placebo group.

In various pre-clinical and clinical studies, Cordyceps perform very well as a blood sugar and cholesterol regulation agent.

Cordysen™ is a 100% organic product and does not contain any synthetic impurities and therefore is better absorbed by the body.

The main difference between dietary supplements and drugs is that the effect of dietary supplements is achieved by stimulating the body's own natural forces – natural dietary supplements are the fastest and efficient way to improve health, reduce morbidity and prolong life.

by barb424 26th October 2011 many people have read this article but no-one has commented. ? has anyone tried cordysen? it is a very expensive product as compared to other supplements. comments would be appreciated. otherwise this article is really just a glorified advt for cordysen. does grown ups get a kickback or payment for clickthru's from this page? it should do.
by AnnK 7th November 2011 Hi Barb I have been taking Cordysen for the past 5 - 6 months and can tell that in general feel so much better. I was looking for a natural product that would help me with my immune system when I heard about cordysen. Normally, I easily catch cold or flu however this winter I did not get sick even once, which I find amazing :-)
