One of the most important benefits of Cordyceps is its ability to stabilize the heart beat and correct heart arrhythmias. This fungus is on top of the list of choices for this serious condition in China today.
Exact mechanism is only partly understood. One study pointed to the presence of adenosine. Cordyceps contains a significant amount of adenosine, deoxyadenosine and related adenosine type nucleotides. Those compounds have great impact on coronary and cerebral circulation.
Cordyceps doesn't interfere with any other arrhythmia medication. With low toxicity, Cordyceps has become an excellent choice for this condition.
Cordyceps has been used traditionally for many other heart diseases. It benefits the vascular system by improving circulation, regulating blood pressure, and strengthening the heart muscle. As a result, Cordyceps is quite effective in preventing heart attack.
In a long-term study of patients with chronic heart failure, continuous use of Cordyceps in combination with conventional treatments promoted an increase in the overall quality of life. This included general physical condition, mental health, and cardiac function, compared to the control group.
