Improves immunity: Both cordyceps and chaga, among many other biologically active polysaccharides, contain beta-D-glucan – a compound with proven immunostimulatory activity. Importantly, it stimulates the production of leukocytes – the white blood cells that protect the organism from pathogenic microorganisms. Noteworthy, C. sinensis activates the primary immune response that occurs when a pathogen enters the body for the first time. It also contains an antibiotic (opiocoridine) and cordycepin (a derivative of adenosine), which is able to damage the genetic material of viruses. The optimal activity of the immune system is supported by I. obliquus. This immunomodulator strengthens the immune reaction whenever there is a decline in immunity, and inhibits it otherwise.

Supports general health: Cordyceps and chaga fruiting bodies are a source of numerous vitamins, amino acids as well micro- and macroelements. All these compounds are required for the proper functioning of the human body. Both mushrooms also contain polyphenols. These ingredients help to manage an excess of free radicals and thus prevent damaging of the fragile cellular structures such as DNA or mitochondria. C. sinensis and I. obliquus also help to regulate the blood lipid profile. Results of scientific studies have proven that the supplementation with the extracts of cordyceps and chaga significantly reduces the level of cholesterol and triglycerides.

Improves physical performance: The inhabitants of the Tibetan Plateau have been consuming cordyceps for centuries to increase their vitality and gain extra energy. Now, results of research studies have confirmed the legitimacy of this choice. For instance, it has been proven that cordyceps significantly improves physical performance and reduces the feeling of fatigue. It contains carbohydrates that limit the accumulation of lactate in the muscles during exercise, and thus prevent the formation of soreness. Chaga also helps to regulate metabolism in muscle fibers thus preventing exhaustion after training.
