Cordyceps - Aphrodisiac Fungus from Tibet
My personal experience with cordyceps has been positive. It usually takes a few days of use to feel an increase in libido, and after a week or 10 days, there is usually an increase in acne on the back and shoulders (also seen with testosterone and DHEA). Most research has focused on two different types of chemicals found in Cordyceps: a circular pentapeptide, and unusual polysaccharides. The circular pentapeptide is a molecule composed of five amino acids, and the chain is closed into a loop. It appears that the pentapeptide is responsible for the testosterone-boosting effects of this fungal aphrodisiac. In addition to its uses in the bedroom, scientists are investigating Cordyceps for fighting inflamation and cancer. The polysaccharides in Cordyceps can modulate different immune responses, and this herb holds promise for a variety of conditions. Although many people have never heard of Cordyceps, supplement manufacturers have, and several offer different extracts. A month's supply of cordyceps typically costs $10 to $20 if bought from a discount supplier online. The high price of Cordyceps has fueled a Gold Rush that Aphrodisiology has written about on another page.
