Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps Sinensis) Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a genus of ascomycete fungi, is found growing in the Tibetan Plateau and neighboring regions, including China, Nepal, Tibet, and India.  This unique species parasitizes mainly on insects and other arthropod needle-like mushrooms often found with its root encased in the exoskeleton of a dead caterpillar. The presence of nucleosides, polysaccharides, sterols, steroids, and other bioactive compounds of O. sinensis make ideal for replenishing kidney function, treating fatigue, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hyposexualities, renal failure, arrhythmias, and other heart diseases, and liver disorders.  The fungus has also provided reliable results in different organ malfunctioning by moderating the cytokines, chemokines, and oxidative stress induced protein levels which are involved in several human malignancies. Extensive clinical tests have shown promising adversarial qualities towards certain cancers.
