Is cordyceps really that miraculous What are the effects of cordyceps
Cordyceps sinensis is a precious Chinese medicinal material in China and has been widely used in medicine since ancient times. However, there is a traditional Chinese medicine called "Jinsuibao Capsule" which was developed by the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Its main ingredient is artificially fermented Cordyceps sinensis mycelium (Cs-4 strain), which has the effects of tonifying the lungs and kidneys, securing essence, and invigorating qi.
1. Cordyceps ingredients:
It can be roughly divided into polysaccharides, proteins and amino acids, lipids, nucleosides, mannitol, ergosterols, trace elements, etc. Among the many active ingredients, cordyceps polysaccharides, cordycepic acid, and cordyceps polypeptides are currently the most studied and pharmacologically effective components.
2. Efficacy of Cordyceps:
1. Anti-tumor activity: Many studies at home and abroad have shown that cordyceps polysaccharides have anti-tumor activity, mainly by directly killing cancer cells, inducing cancer cell apoptosis, or inhibiting cancer cell metastasis.
2. Immunomodulatory effect: The results show that cordyceps polysaccharides increase the quality of immune organs or reduce the drug-induced reduction in the quality of immune organs; cordyceps polysaccharides can cause the activation and proliferation of T cells, NK cells, monocytes and macrophages, and secrete various lymphokines, thereby regulating the specific and non-specific immunity of the body.
3. Hypoglycemic effect: Polysaccharide extracts from artificial cordyceps have been found to have significant effects on various diabetic animal models. The main hypoglycemic mechanisms include: stimulating insulin secretion, inhibiting hepatic glucose output, promoting the activity of hepatic glucose metabolism enzymes, and reducing the content of glucose transporters.
4. Improve learning and memory function: Cordyceps polysaccharides have a certain ameliorating effect on the learning and memory ability of mice with cerebral ischemia injury, can increase SOD activity in the brain, reduce MDA content, and enhance the ability to scavenge free radicals.
5. Liver protective effect: The liver protective effect of cordyceps polysaccharides mainly includes protecting against chemical liver damage, immune liver damage and liver fibrosis.
6. Renal protective effect: The renal protective effect of cordyceps polysaccharides mainly includes its effect on acute and chronic renal failure and renal fibrosis. Cordyceps polysaccharides can significantly reduce serum total protein, urea nitrogen, creatinine and K+ levels, as well as urine protein, urine ketones, urine red blood cells and white blood cell levels, and renal index in rats with acute renal failure, and significantly improve renal pathological damage in model rats.
7. Antioxidant and anti-aging effects: Polysaccharides in cordyceps fermentation broth have good ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radicals. Cordyceps polysaccharides can be used to prepare drugs against skin photoaging. Studies have found that cordyceps polysaccharides have an effect on prolonging the lifespan of fruit flies.
8. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic, antiviral activity: The extract of Cordyceps sinensis mycelium has obvious in vitro anti-inflammatory activity. In addition, some scholars have found that cordyceps polypeptides also have analgesic effects, and the analgesic effect is almost comparable to pethidine.
