Cordyceps: The Anti-aging Herb.
These unique formations contain a strain of pure, cultivated Cordyceps. Known to improve circulation, and function of the lungs, heart, kidneys and liver, Cordyceps is also used to boost general vitality, increase longevity and improve sexual health. Recent research also suggests that it regulates the immune system, fights free-radicals, increases blood flow to the heart and brain, improves liver health, and positively impacts cholesterol levels.- Science-based nutrition

Ultra Cordyceps: Improves Sexual Vitality, Naturally.
Preliminary clinical trials have found that Cordyceps also influences the glandular system, increasing sexual vitality for women and men. Olympic athletes have used it to boost stamina and performance, and eye-opening clinical studies indicate it improves sexual function in elderly people bothered by fatigue.
Immune Response Support
Results of many preclinical studies suggest that Cordyceps promotes balanced immune cell function. Among the most interesting of these studies was one that investigated the ability of Cordyceps to differentially modulate the activities of different dendrite cell stages—key to balancing control of the homeostatic steady-state of the our immune system. These results suggested that Cordyceps bolsters immune function where necessary, yet suppresses over-reactive immune responses. Other immune function results reported by Cordyceps researchers include elevation of natural killer cell activity, intestinal T-cell activation, and activation of signaling molecules that support the production of healthy immune proteins.
While scientists often strive to isolate individual compounds in a naturally occurring complex like Cordyceps to determine which is responsible for certain biological actions, this process can ignore the fact that different components in Cordyceps may have synergistic activity. One group of researchers found that when investigating the immune activity of different components of Cordyceps in mice, some polysaccharides could impact the phagocytic function of monocyte-macrophages, while others could enhance immune response differently. In more recent in vitro work, polysaccharide fraction from mycelia of Cordyceps not only promoted macrophage phagocytic function, but also stimulated macrophage nitric oxide production (another tool used by these immune cells to maintain health).
Antiradical Properties
In vitro studies have demonstrated that the polysaccharide content of Cordyceps is largely behind its free radical scavenging properties. Although not yet clearly understood, the antiradical mechanism of polysaccharides could be the donation of hydrogen to break free radical chain reactions. Studies in rodents, in humans, and in the laboratory have demonstrated that Cordyceps can inhibit formation of MDA (malondialdehyde), a free radical byproduct, in the liver and possibly in the brain. In mice, Cordyceps promoted cerebral antioxidant homeostasis and was shown to safeguarding the integrity of neuronal cells, which influenced neurobehavioral function. As in mice, cell membranes in the human brain are vulnerable to lipid peroxidation because of their high polyunsaturated fat content. Through animal and in vitro models of lipid peroxidation, Cordyceps has shown an ability to support the health and integrity of lipids in the face of free radical oxidation.
Artichoke & Cordyceps Support Healthy Liver Function
Cordyceps research in rodents and humans suggests that it enhances liver cell immunological function, such as acceleration of Kupffer cells (specialized hepatic macrophages), and stimulates liver energy metabolism. The cordyceps polysaccharides are considered the main bioactive compounds that remove harmful cell products.
Artichoke leaf (Cynara scolymus) is not only a popular food—its extract has been used for the liver since the time of the Roman Empire. Artichoke is known to stimulate bile flow and support healthy liver detoxification processes. Evidence that confirms the traditional use of artichoke for liver health was seen in experiments where artichoke extracts aided cultured rat cells in counteracting highly toxic oxidizing agents. Artichoke also shows pronounced antioxidative potential and other properties that support maintenance of cardiovascular health; luteolin and cyranoside are believed to be the active flavonoids in artichoke that can modulate nitric oxide production in the blood.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract: Enhances Healthy Brain Function and Circulation
An abundance of scientific evidence in humans and animals supports the use of Ginkgo biloba extract for promoting healthy circulation, both to the brain and extremities. The stimulation of blood flow through release of nitric oxide and prostaglandins partly explains the cardiovascular advantage from ginkgo. Other molecular mechanisms include ginkgo extract’s ability to affect ion channels, to alter signal transduction, and to interact with smooth muscle cells and modify vasomotor function. Effects have also been recorded in stress modification, mood, memory, and other facets of cognitive function. The main underlying mechanism in most of these actions has been attributed to ginkgo’s ability to directly scavenge numerous species of free radicals and to indirectly inhibit their formation, but studies have also demonstrated many complex interactions, such as that between ginkgo extract and vascular endothelium (cardiovascular effects). In animals, gingko has slowed mitochondrial degeneration and extended lifespan.
The historical use of Cordyceps as an anti-aging herb in traditional Chinese practices dates back to 1700 BCE. During China’s Chin Dynasty, one emperor is said to have paid an ounce of gold for a three-day supply of the precious fungus. Tibetan scholars recorded detailed descriptions of Cordyceps in 15th and 18th century texts. Cordyceps was introduced to Europe at a scientific meeting in Paris in 1726, and was first imported to Japan in 1728.
Due to its wide range of biological actions, it has been used against fatigue, to escalate vitality and sexual health, to promote longevity, and to support the health of the lungs, the kidneys, the liver, and the cardiovascular system. Cordyceps is known as a “kidney tonic” in traditional Chinese practices, where the kidneys constitute a functional organ system that stores vital energy (or “Jing”). This is significant because under this tradition, Cordyceps is regarded as both “Yin-nourishing” and “Yang-invigorating” for a very balancing effect on many facets of human physiology, from sensitivity to cold to respiratory health. Science has confirmed the utility of Cordyceps for many purposes, including its anti-fatigue & anti-stress properties.

FAQ
What do Doctor’s Best products NOT contain?
Milk, egg, wheat, corn, sugar, sweeteners, starch, salt, preservatives, or waxes. Because only natural products are used, taste, color and odor may vary.
If you’re allergic to shellfish, is it safe to take Glucosamine Sulfate?
People who are allergic to shellfish are allergic to the MEAT, not to the shells. The meat is not used to create the glucosamine, it is the ground-up shell.
Why does Doctor’s Best offer Lignisul MSM and not another brand?
Two major reasons for selecting Lignisul were and continue to be: - 1. It is made in the U.S. by using raw materials which are “grown” in the U.S. (pine trees);
- 2. the quality control used in all aspects of Lignisul’s production are the best in the industry.
The facts about Bioperine: Bioperine is a high purity compound extracted from black pepper and practically devoid of other compounds of black pepper which, like safarole, are contributing to the controversy of black pepper being carcinogenic. Piperine is not a carcinogen, and at a purity level of minimum 98% (Bioperine) it should not pose any concerns related to black pepper or black pepper extract.
Doctor’s Best Gelatin capsule information:

Our gelatin is made only from cattle living in non-BSE countries. All Doctor’s Best capsules are in full compliance with the FDA’s guidance for our industry.
What about Veggie Caps?
Unlike ordinary animal-derived gelatin capsules, Veggie Caps are made from 100% pesticide-free plant material. If you’re a strict vegetarian or gelatin capsules present a problem for you, Veggie Caps are right for you.
What is HPLC?
HPLC stands for “High Performance Liquid Chromatography.” this is analytical lab testing method that is used to quantify the active ingredients in herbs. It is considered to be a very sensitive and accurate test. HPLC testing is recognized as a quality benchmark for herbal extracts.
How long should it take for a capsule to dissolve?
Approximately 30-45 minutes. For a 2-piece gelatin capsule, the USP standard for maximum dissolution time is 45 minutes.
How does Celadrin compare with Best Glucosamine?
Celadrin is a complex of fatty acids that can affect the expression of certain cytokines that mediate occasional problems in the joints and other tissues. In this way, Celadrin actually complements the actions of glucosamine, which is a necessary building block for joint and cartilage tissue. Together, Celadrin and glucosamine provide an effective means to maintain the health and integrity of joint tissue.
Why is it important to supplement Calcium with Strontium Bone Maker?
Studies in postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis showed a strong benefit in women taking strontium plus calcium/Vitamin D versus woment taking calcium/Vitamin D plus a placebo. In one such study of 1,442 women, the strontium group had significant increases in bone mineral density and lumbar risk decreased by 41% compared to those given calcium/Vitamin D plus placebo.
NOTE: Should be taken at a different time of day, preferably 2 hours before or after any calcium supplement. It is also extremely important that adequate calcium and Vitamin D is taken, as strontium can compete with calcium uptake into bone.
What is an “ORAC Value”?
Short for “Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity,” ORAC is a widely method which measures the ability of foods and other substances to quench oxygen free radicals. Fruits such as cranberry, strawberry, plum, pink grapefruit, and tomato have very high ORAC values.
