Properties of selected ingredients
- Cordyceps sinensis extract – one of the most desired plant components in dietary supplements. Its key task is to provide the body with oxygen on the cellular level.
- Cordyceps mycelium – contains many active ingredients: beta carotene, vitamins E and C, B1, B2, B12, zinc, selenium, magnesium, iron, potassium. 77 micro- and macro- elements and unique substances such as cordycepin (adenosine), cordyceps acid (D-mannitol) and immunomodulatory polysaccharides (beta-D-glucan).
According to many authors:
- Helps with depression (inhibitor of the activity of an enzyme known as monoamine oxidases MAO used in antidepressants) and with immune and immunosuppressive disorders, e.g. AIDS.
- Significantly improves immunity and has strong anti-allergy properties
- Removes toxic substances from the body naturally eliminating toxins, medicine residue, radionuclides, heavy metals, salts and others.
- Acts as a natural antibiotic, fights pneumococcal bacteria, staphylococcus, streptococci and many other germs. It also destroys different viruses, including adenoviruses, therefore, according to Chinese doctors, fights diseases such as the flu, hepatitis, herpes, atypical respiratory inflammations. Has a huge impact on protozoa (chlamydia, serum urea, trichomonas etc.), helminthes (worms) and harmful fungi.
- Reduces the symptoms of circulatory system diseases and reduces the risk of blood vessel blockage.
- Reduces side effects of chemo- and radiotherapy.
- Normalises the microflora of the skin, throat and the respiratory tract.
- Normalises renal function. Improves sleep quality and eliminates fatigue.
- Lowers blood pressure.
- Regulates metabolism.
- Increases physical energy (adaptogenic effects).
- Improves physical abilities of athletes.
New World Records
Nobody really understood the endurance benefits of Cordyceps until the Chinese National Games in Beijing. During these games three world records in the 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000-meter events were broken by athletes who were taking Cordyceps. The 1994 winter issue of American Entomologist published an article on the incredible rapid ascendancy of the Chinese women’s track team. Chinese coach Ma Zunren stated that intense, high-altitude training and a stress-relieving tonic (prepared from Cordyceps Sinensis) were the factors responsible for record-breaking performances by the athletes
Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi or Reishi)
Ganoderma has been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine for 4 thousand years to treat liver diseases, dehydration, arthritis, asthma, stomach ulcers and many other problems. GanoCord contains the most precious and valuable Reishi component: crushed spore extract. It contains triterpenes, glucosides, essential oils, as well as Mg, Ca, Zn, Fe ions. It also has high contents of betaine, organic acid (e.g. stearic acid, coconut acid, ergosterol and β-sitosterol) and more than 150 polysaccharides, including glucan (GSG) with healing properties also recognised by European medicine. This is a special mushroom, which used to be more valuable than gold and still today its extracts from the best farms are highly prized.

Maitake is an edible mushroom consumed widely in Asia as food and used in traditional medicine to treat diabetes and hypertension. Its extracts are commercially available as dietary supplements marketed to “enhance immune function” and to treat AIDS and cancer. Beta 1,6-glucan, a protein-bound polysaccharide, has been identified as the active constituent.
In preclinical studies, various formulations suggest protective effects against parasites (1), high insulin and lipid levels (2) (3), and inflammation (4). Antitumor potential (5) (6) (7) (8) (9), enhanced bone marrow colony formation, reduced doxorubicin toxicity (10), and enhanced interferon activity (11) have also been shown. In murine models, orally administered extracts promoted maturation of hematopoietic cells to functionally active myeloid cells, enhanced peripheral blood leukocyte recovery following chemotoxic bone marrow injury (12), and protected against cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression (13).
Data in humans are limited. In a small case series, tumor regression or significant improvements in symptoms were observed in some subjects who took maitake extract (14). In small trials, oral maitake extract appeared to have immunomodulatory effects in postmenopausal breast cancer patients (15), and enhanced neutrophil and monocyte function in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (16). More studies are underway to evaluate maitake’s anticancer potential.
