Many people undergo various surgeries and injections to rejuvenate their facial skin, while some find wonderful anti-aging benefits in nature, such as in Cordyceps mushrooms, which, according to studies, show significant anti-aging benefits.

What is the Cordyceps mushroom?

Cordyceps mushroom is also called the "Chinese caterpillar fungus", is considered a parasite and grows in the high mountains of China, Nepal and Tibet. The unique properties of the mushroom make it expensive and desirable, and it has become a recognized medicinal mushroom in the world of science and research. In China, it has been used for centuries as a medicinal mushroom for the prevention and treatment of various diseases, as it is known for its anti-cancer, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects, a positive effect on the immune system, improved athletic performance, heart activity and is also nature's anti-aging.

The Emperor's Mushroom

There have always been hundreds of varieties of Cordyceps, which are actually fungi that invade the bodies of various insect species and grow on their backs. The fruit body looks like a caterpillar spring and its stem is thin and reaches a length of up to 10 cm. Cordyceps is considered a mushroom with an ancient history, with legend saying that it is the "emperor's mushroom." The mushroom's properties reached the ears of the Chinese emperor, who issued a royal decree that anyone who finds the mushroom must bring it to his palace. Since then, it has been reserved for nobles only, and in the last few decades, everyone has been enjoying its many properties.

In Chinese medicine, Cordyceps is considered nature's anti-aging mushroom and many adults use it daily to blur the signs of aging and prevent frailties in old age. Many studies reveal specific anti-aging properties of Cordyceps, especially in the Cs-4 strain. There is a study that proves that this strain has the ability to fight age-related changes and genes, such as muscle and brain tissue. Two additional laboratory studies have identified the strain's positive effect on healthy lifespan, due to the positive benefits of energy metabolism, fatigue and endurance, and also increased libido.
