Dragon Herbs Cordyceps (500mg x 100caps)

Profound Essence Profound Essence is a powerful primal essence formulation. It is suitable for those who require maximum restoration of essence after extreme or prolonged stress, illness or old age. It is particularly suitable for those women who have been pregnant and for those who have just given birth to a child. Essence Restorative tonifies Kidney essence (Yin and Yang), builds blood, tonifies Qi and purges false fire. The formula is significantly strengthened by combining with Deer Placenta, which is the most potent Jing restorative known to Chinese tonic herbalism. To further enhance the functions of this formula, drink one or two packets of Healer's Tea every day. The Herbs in Profound Essence Yin Jing is easily depleted by excessive stress, over work, and by excessive sexual activity (beyond the body’s actual capacity) and drug abuse. As the Yin Jing becomes depleted, Yang is left uncontrolled and false fire conditions can easily develop, resulting in hyperactive Yang. If the condition is left untreated, severe damage will result. Yin Jing is synonymous with life itself. It protects our youthfulness. When a person runs low on Yin Jing, they age very quickly. When a person runs out of Yin Jing, they die. Therefore, Yin Jing deficiency is very serious and must be avoided at all cost. But if Yin Jing deficiency does occur, it must be treated as quickly and effectively as possible. That is where Tortoise Shell comes in. It is powerful, effective, and quick. If the symptoms of exhaustion do include hyperactive symptoms, such as afternoon fevers, inflammation, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, etc., the Tortoise Plastron is blended with cold herbs like raw Rehmannia, Phellodendron and Anemmarhena. This combination will replenish fluids (Yin) and Kidney Yin (Yin essence). Furthermore, to protect the Jing, “astringent” herbs are important to prevent “leaking” of Jing during the process of restoration. Plastrum Testudinus (Tortoise Plastrum) Plastrum Testudinus (Tortoise plastrum) is an important tonic, used routinely in “restorative” formulas for people who are experiencing exhaustion. It replenishes bodily fluids, and settles unruly wind, which manifests in Yin-deficiency cases as inflammation, pain, cramps, fever, dehydration, insomnia, etc. Due to its Yin nourishing ability and to the fact that it is a cold herb, it is capable of extinguishing false fire conditions anywhere in the body. If some one is thoroughly exhausted but is not yet showing such hot symptoms, or if the hot symptoms have already been overcome but more restorative therapy is required, then Tortoise Plastron and a variety of cooling Yin herbs may be blended with Atractylodes and Poria to create a restorative formula. White Atractylodes Rhizome and Poria White Atractylodes and Poria are excellent Qi tonics that provide strength, boost the immune system and eliminate toxic fluids from the body. Dang Gui is the premier blood tonic of Chinese herbalism. White Peony Root builds blood, cleans blood and beautifies the skin. It has a relaxing effect on the muscles when combined with Licorice Root, as it is in this formula. Eucommia Bark Eucommia is a superb Yang Jing tonic, used to strengthen the back (especially the lower back), skeleton, and joints (especially the knees and ankles). Eucommia is widely used in China as a safe and effective Yang tonic for men and women. It is very well tolerated so it may be used by those in a very weak condition. Eucommia is believed to confer strength and flexibility to the ligaments and tendons. It is used to strengthen the back, knees, and the entire body. Dipasacus and Cuscuta are also excellent Yang tonics that restore the primal power of the body. They are also astringent and help retain Jing so that it is not easily lost. Dragon Bone is a mineral that is both calming to the nerves and an excellent astringent that controls Yang energy. Raw Rehmannia Root Raw Rehmannia confers strength to the Kidney system and relieves false fire. Profound Essence is thus a blend of Yin and Yang tonics designed to build the entire system up from the roots. Again, Jing Formulation is significantly strengthened by combining with Deer Placenta, which is the most potent Jing restorative known to Chinese tonic herbalism. To further enhance the functions of this formula, drink one or two packets of Healer's Tea every day. Traditional Function: Tonifies Yin Jing, Yang Jing, Qi, Blood, has Shen stabilizing and Jing astringent actions Who can use it? It is suitable as a long term "restorative" Jing tonic for those who have been exhausted by overwork, excessive stress, pregnancy, substance abuse, chronic pain or chronic illness. It is also suitable for those who have reached mid-life or old age and who wish to replenish Jing, and who wish to further prevent degeneration.

Supreme Protector Supreme Protector is an ultimate Chinese tonic formulation. It is composed of the four kings of defense in Chinese herbalism: Reishi, Astragalus, Schizandra and Cordyceps. All support the protective functions of the body and the mind in various ways. Each herb supports the immune functions and all support our innate capacity to handle stress. They all have antioxidant action and each herb has been recognized as a potent adaptogen. In addition, this formula powerfully tonifies all three Treasures (Jing, Qi and Shen). The herbs support the liver and the lungs and support the innate abilities of these organs to remove impurities from the body on a moment-to-moment basis, as nature intended. They support the kidneys and the adrenals. Supreme Protector is also an excellent Shen tonic. This is indeed the supreme protector. The Herbs in Supreme Protector Reishi Mushroom Reishi Mushroom is the perfect herb for these times. It is strengthening, protective and calming to the nerves. It is both a potent Qi tonic and the ultimate Shen tonic. It is the perfect anti-stress herb. It helps to center you. When you’re taking Reishi you feel adaptive and you feel protected. Supreme Protector is made with genuine “log-grown” Duanwood Reishi fruiting bodies. Astragalus Root Astragalus Root is one of the most powerful natural agents in the world at regulating the functions of the body. It is a fundamental Qi tonic and should be a part of any adaptogenic, anti-stress formula. In fact it is a quintessential double-directional herb, one that helps support and regulate the immune system. It is a superb adaptogen. Cordyceps Mycelium Cordyceps is one of the superstars of the Chinese tonic herbal system. It is an extremely effective and powerful life-enhancing agent, ranking right up there with Reishi. Because the wild variety from the Himalayas is rare and highly treasured, it is very expensive. The mycelium, which can be cultured, is almost as potent and is quite a bit less expensive. Cordyceps mycelium is a moderately yang primal essence (Jing) tonic of high stature. Cordyceps mycelium is used to support the functions of the body and mind at a fundamental level. An ancient Chinese herbal classic said that Cordyceps is able to support the “primary motive force for life activities.” Because it contains both Yin and Yang it can be used by anyone safely and over a long period of time. It replenishes Yin Jing, restoring the deep energy expended as a result of exertion, adapting to stress and from aging. Cordyceps is thus one of the primary herbal substances used in tonic herbalism as an anti-aging agent and for the purposes of rejuvenation. Cordyceps mycelium is very widely used in Asia for the purposes of supporting the primal Kidney functions, which include sexual functions, brain power and structural integrity. It is a very powerful Yang tonic. As a sexual tonic, Cordyceps mycelium is considered to be one of the best. Consistent use of Cordyceps mycelium supports the skeletal structure. Cordyceps is used to support respiratory power in those who perform physical work (e.g. labor, sports or exercise). Cordyceps is considered in Asia to be a powerful athlete’s tonic. Schizandra Berry Schizandra is a major adaptogenic herb. Schizandra helps keep you relaxed and alert and supports the functions of the nervous system. Schizandra is considered to be one of the premium mind tonics of herbalism. It is used to support concentration, memory and alertness. Yet, unlike caffeine-like stimulants, Schizandra does not produce nervousness. In fact, Schizandra is mildly “calming” while producing wakefulness and mental focus.* Concentration: 8:1 Who Can Use It?: Anyone. Specifications: 100 Capsules 450 mg each Ingredients: Duanwood Reishi fruiting body, Astragalus root, Schizandra fruit, Cordyceps mycelium Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules (non-pullulan based), rice hull extract, organic maize starch. Usage: Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”

Cordyceps is a superior class tonic mushroom. The wild variety used in herbalism grows in very high mountains, primarily in Asia. The most famous and important, Di Tao source of wild Cordyceps is the Himalayas. This wild Cordyceps is very rare and extremely expensive. Cordyceps is famed throughout the world as a major Jing tonic (inner power, sexual, strength, bone marrow tonic) for men and women, as a major immune tonic, as a brain tonic, as a powerful tonic to the lungs and respiratory functions, and more.Mycologists have developed a cultured variety using the Cordyceps militaris species of Cordyceps. It is grown in a super-clean environment on a base of brown rice and other grains - it is 100% vegan. Cultured Cordyceps is an amazing treasure of health. And It is a superb value. Cultured Cordyceps is many multiples less expensive than the wild variety from the snowline of Tibet or Bhutan, yet it is very close in nutrition and herbal potency.In fact, it has a higher content of the established key Cordyceps' component, cordycepin, than the wild variety.Ron Teeguarden personally selected the finest grade freshly-cultured Cordyceps, and Dragon Herbs has had it extracted in our modern GMP extraction facility, using cutting edge technology and special proprietary techniques developed by Dragon Herbs.

Product Details Imperial Cordyceps - Concentrated Multi-Step Dual-Extract Increases ATP (cellular energy) production Increases oxygen absorption & utilisation Enhances physical & mental performance Increases endurance/anti-fatigue Powerful restorative/rejuvenating medicine Increases lung capacity/improves respiratory function Increases focus, determination & mental clarity Anti-stress adaptogen Enhances libido in both men & women Immune system support Helps regulate blood sugar Antiviral & antimicrobial Supplement Facts Ingredients: Organic CS-4 Cordyceps Sinensis Liquid-Fermented Mycelium, Organic Cordyceps Militaris Fruiting Body Contains: 100g Serving Size: 1g (half a teaspoon) Servings Per Container: 100 Imperial Cordyceps is a concentrated extract that has been produced to the highest specifications currently possible. The extract comprises both liquid-fermented Cordyceps sinensis mycelia and Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies from silkworm larvae, mirroring the overall composition of wild Cordyceps that has been an important medicine in the East for many centuries. Imperial Cordyceps was the name given to the finest quality Cordyceps sinensis species that was reserved for the royalty and nobility of ancient China and Tibet. However, wild Cordyceps is now the most expensive natural medicine on the planet and fetches upwards of $20,000 per kilo. Sadly it is a completely unsustainable industry that is threatening the biodiversity of the high Himalayan regions. Fortunately it is now possible to cultivate Cordyceps species to an extremely high standard that reflects the potency & quality of the famed Imperial Cordyceps of the Himalayas, and at a fraction of the price. A considerable portion of the wild Cordyceps sinensis 'caterpillar body' would be filled with mycelium, where as the club-shaped fruiting body would extend from the head of its caterpillar host, making up the remaining share of the fungus. However, it is not currently possible to cultivate Cordyceps sinensis so that it produces a mature fruiting body. Cultivation of the mycelia on the other hand, does produce an end result that is very similar and more consistent in quality to that of its wild counterpart. For the fruiting body, another, chemically very similar species called Cordyceps militaris is used, as this species yields a medicinally potent fruiting body much more easily. The mycelia of Cordyceps sinensis is cultivated via liquid fermentation (CS-4) while the fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris are grown on a substrate of silkworm larvae. The two species/parts of this fungus are then dual-extracted into pressurised hot water and then ethanol separately - a process which is repeated as many times as necessary to extract everything of therapeutic value. The extracts are then spray-freeze-dried to produce the resulting fine-grain powder as well as remove any residual ethanol/alcohol. The extract powders are then combined and concentrated to be many times more potent by weight than the fungus was originally, prior to extraction. There are absolutely no fillers or additives used in this product whatsoever. This extract is bottled in Miron Violet Glass – the best quality glass in the world – in order to protect and preserve the integrity of this outstanding medicine from ultraviolet degradation. Because the source material is such high quality and the extraction process is so precise and thorough, it results in the most potent & effective Cordyceps product money can buy. This is not exaggerated marketing - it is scientifically provable fact. Take a look at the authorised 'Supplement Facts' label for this product in the image gallery at the top of this page. Like many medicinal mushrooms, Cordyceps contains unique polysaccharides (beta-glucans) that enhance immune function, but unlike other mushrooms (such as Reishi) a high percentage of beta-glucans does not indicate a quality product, because it just shows that it is either a single hot water extract, or a dual-extract where only minimal ethanol has been used. Many of the properties that Cordyceps has become so famous for - such as ATP production, libido enhancement, mental & physical rejuvenation and improved respiratory function - are the result of non-water-soluble compounds such as nucleosides like cordycepin and adenosine etc. Therefore, a thorough and complete dual-extraction where hot water & ethanolic processes are conducted separately, yields an end product that is capable of showcasing the full spectrum of nutrients and beneficial compounds (and their associated health benefits) we are expecting from high quality Cordyceps. If a Cordyceps supplement cannot guarantee the presence and exact percentages of these bioactive markers then we must be skeptical about its value, from a therapeutic perspective.

Product Details Imperial Cordyceps Ultimate Potency: - Highest potency Cordyceps extract with over 5% cordycepin- Increases ATP production and enhances cellular energy metabolism- Increases oxygen absorption & utilization- Increases lung capacity & improves respiratory function- Can enhance both physical & cognitive performance- Anti-stress adaptogen- Supports faster recovery from illness & injury- Modulates immune, cardiovascular and neurological functions   Supplement Facts: Ingredients: Organic C. militaris fruiting body and liquid-fermented C. sinensis pure mycelium. Contains: 60g of pure extract powder Serving Size: 1g (half a teaspoon) Serving Per Container: 120 Directions: Add hot water to create an instant tea, or add to smoothies, desserts or meals.     'Imperial Cordyceps Ultimate Potency' is our newest incarnation of the Cordyceps fungus, standing firmly on the shoulders of the original Imperial Cordyceps product. Our initial product has already established itself as one of the finest quality Cordyceps supplements available, but this upgraded iteration is substantially stronger with five times more cordycepin (the primary active nucleoside) than the original Imperial Cordyceps. This is an industry first - over 5% cordycepin is the highest potency ever in a commercially available product.   Among the numerous therapeutic compounds in this fungus, cordycepin is the primary active compound that is directly responsible for the overwhelming majority of benefits. It also possesses an exceptional safety rating - high doses can be consumed with no significant side effects. This is of particular importance when treating serious illness and recovering from injury, or for people who are placing their bodies and minds under a lot of stress, such as endurance athletes and those in combat sports, surgeons and paramedics, or firefighters and military personnel.   Typically, the highest concentration of cordycepin in even the strongest products is between 1% and 1.5%, just like in the original Imperial Cordyceps. This quantity already has notable pharmacological activity and can be especially useful in increasing ATP production and cellular energy metabolism, for enhancing immune function and for promoting stronger mental and physical performance. However, with such a great safety profile, we felt that it was necessary to create an even more potent extract that was able to deliver under the most extreme conditions.   Imperial Cordyceps Ultimate Potency is a blend of organically cultivated C. militaris fruiting bodies and the liquid-fermented mycelium of C. sinensis, both hot water extracted in a multi-step process that captures absolutely everything of medicinal value. As well as over 5% cordycepin, this product also contains 15% beta-glucans and 0.5% adenosine, amongst other important bio-actives. As there is such a significant, bioavailable presence of cordycepin in this product, let’s take a quick overview of its scientifically proven benefits:   Firstly, the energy enhancing properties of Cordyceps are its most well known benefit, and this effect is almost entirely the result of cordycepin. This is a part of Cordyceps that is routinely misunderstood though, because people commonly believe that Coreyceps causes an increase in energy similarly to the way that caffeine or some other stimulant does, which is not true at all. What actually happens, is that Cordyceps increases our cellular capacity to generate energy, so we are better able to produce more energy for a lot longer. So in an attempt to better understand this process, let’s take a quick overview of exactly how cordycepin affects our energy output: every single cell in the body is powered by a nucleoside called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The powerhouses of every cell - the mitochondria - import nutrients (carbohydrates & fats), and then through a process known as oxidative phosphorylation, these nutrients are combusted to release energy.   Electrons that are obtained from these metabolized nutrients are passed through a series of protein complexes embedded with the membrane of the mitochondria, which produces hydrogen ions that are utilized by an enzyme called ATP synthase. This intracellular process is exactly how nutrients are transformed into ATP, which is the energy currency of every single cell.   So how does Cordyceps play into all of this? Well, cordycepin directly activates an enzyme on the body called AMPK, which is responsible for regulating energy homeostasis. As the AMPK enzyme becomes increasingly activated from cordycepin, it up regulates a genetic protein called PGC-1a - the master transcription factor for mitochondrial biogenesis… but what does this mean exactly?   Well, increased activation of AMPK enzymes causes a corresponding increase in the activity of the PGC-1a protein, which ultimately causes A LOT more mitochondria to be created within the cells. In short, this means that each cell possesses a much higher capacity to generate ATP, which means more energy production. This enhanced metabolism of cellular energy also clears lactate buildup from within the bloodstream after exercise, which means faster recovery and reduced fatigue. This entire sequence of metabolic events is robustly supported by the presence of cordycepin.   This is obviously incredible news from an athletic standpoint - more energy output, more stamina and quicker recovery rate. However, this enhanced energy metabolism is useful for absolutely everyone in terms of cognitive performance (concentration and memory) and immune function etc. Mitochondria production tends to decline significantly as we age towards and beyond mid-life, so cordycepin can help to mitigate many problems associated with age-related deterioration.   Cordycepin has a substantial regulatory effect on pro-inflammatory pathways in the body too (NF-kB, TNF-a, iNOS, inflammasomes, IL-1B etc). It also stimulates the activity of endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. The combination of inflammation and antioxidant management has proven cordycepin as a valuable agent in reducing inflammation within the central nervous system, leading to it being studied as a potential treatment for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury and depression.   Another way in which cordycepin can help to treat neurodegenerative diseases is the influence it has on various signaling pathways in the body including MAPK, mTOR and PI3K/Akt amongst others. This activity also enables cordycepin to positively affect other pathologies that are driven by these signaling pathways including certain types of cancer. Cordycepin possesses tumor inhibiting properties as well as supporting the destruction of malignant cells via the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death). Cordycepin has also shown potential in disrupting stem cell activity in the development of leukemia.   Likewise, by regulating these same signaling pathways cordycepin can also offer a favorable impact on diabetes mellitus, because it can reduce the levels of elevated blood glucose and increase the metabolism of fats within the body. The increase of ATP that is caused by cordycepin can improve the storage and utilization of glycogen within the liver too.   Cordycepin has both anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in the treatment of osteoarthritis. In vivo studies have also proven that cordycepin can help to regulate inflammation of the internal organs - most notably the liver, kidneys, lungs and the brain.   Multiple studies have highlighted an anti-asthmatic effect from cordycepin, as it can inhibit pulmonary inflammation, and again, the increase of ATP can significantly increase oxygen absorption and utilization, which produces a two-pronged mechanism in the treatment of asthma and bronchitis.   Cordycepin is also studied for its fertility properties, improving the production of reproductive fluids and supporting a healthy libido.   ----- Nyishar products and the claims made about them on or through this site have not been evaluated by the MHRA or United States Food and Drug Administration and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
