Cordyceps properties, nauseates, neuroprotective agents, kidney protection agents, sleep regulators and steroidogenesis. Cordyceps is a reasonably potent immune adaptogen. When an immune activity is high, it decreases. If low, it will improve. When taken regularly, when the immune system is under stress like bacteria, the herb properly stimulates the immune system to respond to stressors while reducing or completely inhibiting bacterial-induced cytokine levels and always more.
Active Against
Cordyceps is not primarily an antibacterial but is rather a systemic tonic and adaptogen. Still it does have some antimicrobial actions. It is active against some viruses, a few strongly so — influenza virus (H1N1, H9N2), herpes simplex virus 1, HIV-1 protease, hepatitis B, Newcastle virus — and a number of other microbes such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Plasmodium spp., Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus aureus (resistant and nonresistant), Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans, and various cancers (breast, thyroid, kidney, bladder, prostate, lung, Leydig cell tumor, melanoma). Its antiviral actions make it a perfect immune adjunct for use in treating most major viral infections.
