Cordyceps mushroom is one of the stars of the Chinese tonic herbal system.
Cultured Cordyceps is considered to be a Jing tonic of elite stature. Because it contains both Yin and Yang it can be used by anyone safely and over a long period of time. It is renowned as a life-reinforcing tonic.

Cultured Cordyceps has no steroidal constituents but greatly supports performance and muscle maintaining and building capability of normal, healthy individuals. This cultured Cordyceps mycelium was tested for its constituents and has been compared to the component profile of wild Cordyceps, which is much more expensive and rare. The cultured Cordyceps has a component profile that is very favorable, even when compared to wild Cordyceps. Therefore, “cultured” Cordyceps is highly valued and widely used in tonic herbalism. Not all cultured Cordyceps is the same.
Many manufacturers produce cultured Cordyceps, but the resulting product can vary widely in terms of constituents and balance, based on a large number of variables, including variety of fungus used and the substrate (food material) used to produce the culture. Dragon Herbs has studied the matter deeply for over twenty years and has identified the highest quality, vegan cultured Cordyceps.*

Further Information
Dragon Herbs practices Tonic Herbalism, which is based on a 5000 year old system of health promotion, protection, and psychological transformation.
The highest level of health care stresses the promotion of positive health as the primary goal. When sufficiently nurtured, our body is fully capable of regulating its own multitude of independent yet united functions, the way nature intended. Science has not been able to, and will never be able to, match that power of Nature. The herbs used for this approach have traditionally been called the superior herbs, but today they are called the tonic herbs. The utilization of the tonic herbs is called Tonic Herbalism.
The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the Chinese herbal system, the most fully developed herbal system in the world. The Chinese tonic herbs have always held a very special place in Asian culture. These very special natural substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living. The tonic herbs are not harsh and are not specifically medicinal in the conventional sense.
Tonic herbs come from China. They also come from North and South America, Europe, Indonesia, Tibet, Bhutan, Africa, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Russia and almost every region of the world. Tonic herbs are by their very nature safe and may be used for a lifetime.
