It also has antibacterial, antitussive, expectorant, antiasthmatic, diuretic and repercussive effects, reducing intracranial pressure and enhancing the body's resistance to diseases. The content of cordycepic acid is one of the main standards to measure the quality of Cordyceps sinensis. It is generally believed that Cordyceps sinensis with high content of cordycepic acid has high medicinal value. The content of cordycepic acid in Cordyceps sinensis from different habitats and different qualities is different, generally 3-8%. It is reported that experts have detected that the content of high-quality Cordyceps sinensis in Tibet has reached 8.4%.
Alkaloids: The alkaloids detected from Cordyceps sinensis include cordycepin, uracil, thymine, adenine, guanine, uridine, adenosine, hypoxanthine nucleoside and hypoxanthine; Adenosine can improve the blood circulation of heart and brain, prevent arrhythmia, inhibit the release of neurotransmitters and regulate endocrine. Adenosine content is also one of the main indexes to evaluate the internal quality of Cordyceps sinensis. Some experts analyzed the adenosine content of Cordyceps sinensis from different producing areas, and the results showed that the adenosine content of Cordyceps sinensis ranged from142.5 to 396.6 ug/g. Generally speaking, the adenosine content of Cordyceps sinensis produced in Tibet and Qinghai was higher than that in other places, especially in Naqu, Tibet.
Trace elements: Cordyceps sinensis contains more than 30 kinds of trace elements, with the highest content of P and Mg, and the higher ones are Al, Fe, Ca, Na and Zn. Followed by potassium, silicon, manganese, strontium, barium, copper, zirconium and so on.
New immunosuppressant: Experts extracted antibiotic components from Cordyceps sinensis culture solution and synthesized a new immunosuppressant FTY720 through chemical modification. Its chemical structure and function are different from the existing immunosuppressants. The preparation directly acts on lymphocytes, showing immunosuppression. In particular, the inhibitory effect on rejection such as organ transplantation is particularly obvious. In various animal experiments of organ transplantation and skin transplantation, it has a good inhibitory or therapeutic effect on rejection and has no side effects. Moreover, when used together with existing immunosuppressants, the immunosuppressant effect is better.
Other ingredients: Cordyceps sinensis is rich in superoxide dismutase (SOD) with a content of 65mg/g protein. As a protective enzyme of cells, this enzyme has the functions of scavenging oxygen free radicals, protecting cells and tissues from anion damage, benefiting the body and resisting aging; Cordyceps sinensis also contains vitamins B 1, Bl2 and VE. Some experts used silica gel column chromatography to separate eight compounds from Tibetan Cordyceps sinensis, namely palmitic acid, ergosterol, cholesterol, ergosterol peroxide, sitosterol, caffeine, beer sterol and ceramide. Some experts analyzed the polyamines of Cordyceps sinensis by HPLC, and detected 1 3 diaminopropane, putrescine, spermine, cadaverine and so on.
Ten Health-preserving Functions of Cordyceps sinensis
Cordyceps sinensis is a traditional precious nourishing Chinese herbal medicine, which is juxtaposed with natural ginseng and velvet antler as three major tonics. It is mild, edible all year round, suitable for all ages, sick and disabled, and has wider medicinal value than other kinds of tonics. Cordyceps sinensis is not a "worm" in winter and a "grass" in summer, but a kind of fungus-Cordyceps sinensis of ergotaceae. Modern science has discovered more and more magical effects of Cordyceps sinensis. Generally speaking, Cordyceps sinensis not only has the function of regulating various organs of human body, but also has some direct disease-resistant functions.
1, regulating blood lipid. Cordyceps sinensis can reduce cholesterol and triglyceride in blood, increase high-density lipoprotein beneficial to human body and relieve atherosclerosis.
2. Adjust hematopoietic function. Cordyceps sinensis can enhance the ability of bone marrow to produce platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells.
3. Regulate renal function. Cordyceps sinensis can alleviate the renal pathological changes of chronic diseases, improve renal function and reduce the damage of toxic substances to the kidney.
4. Adjust the heart function. Cordyceps sinensis can improve the hypoxia tolerance of the heart, reduce the oxygen consumption of the heart and resist arrhythmia.
5. Regulate liver function. Cordyceps sinensis can reduce the damage of toxic substances to the liver and resist the occurrence of liver fibrosis. In addition, it also plays a beneficial role in viral hepatitis by regulating immune function and enhancing antiviral ability.
6. Adjust the function of the respiratory system. Cordyceps sinensis has the functions of dilating bronchi, relieving asthma, eliminating phlegm and preventing emphysema.
7, improve cell energy and anti-fatigue. Cordyceps sinensis can improve the energy of mitochondria, the energy factory of human body, improve the cold tolerance of the body and reduce fatigue.
8. Direct anti-tumor effect. Cordyceps sinensis extract has obvious inhibitory and killing effects on tumor cells in vitro. Cordyceps sinensis contains cordycepin, which is the main component of its anti-tumor effect.
9. others. Cordyceps sinensis also has the functions of directly resisting virus, regulating the function of central nervous system and regulating sexual function. It is amazing that Cordyceps sinensis can play such a comprehensive health care role on human body, and it is worthy of the reputation of "Cao Xian" since ancient times. In modern society, taking Cordyceps sinensis is not only a guarantee for your own health, but more importantly, it brings the ultimate healthy quality of life.
10, regulating immune system function. The immune system is equivalent to the army in the human body, which resists tumors internally, removes aging and necrotic cells and tissues, and resists microbial infections such as viruses and bacteria externally. The human body may have mutated tumor cells every day. People with normal immune system function can escape the bad luck of tumor, but people with poor immune system function may develop tumor. The effect of Cordyceps sinensis on the immune system seems to be to adjust the volume to make it in the best state. It can not only increase the number of cells and tissues in the immune system, promote the production of antibodies, increase the number of phagocytes and killer cells, enhance their functions, but also reduce the functions of some immune cells.
