Introduction：

Cordycepin is extracted from Cordyceps, the most nutritious active substance in Cordyceps. Its main ingredients are Cordyceps polysaccharides, Cordyceps acid and Cordyceps SOD. Cells, repairing diseased cells, replicating new living cells, and cleaning up necrotic cells are very good for improving immunity, anti-fatigue, and improving body energy.

Cordycepin appears as needle-like or flake-like white crystals. 

●  Cordycepin anti-tumor effect

At present, researchers have summarized the anti-tumor mechanism of cordycepin into two types: direct effect and indirect effect.
Direct action means that the anti-tumor component in cordycepin directly inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells by interfering with the exchange of nucleic acid, protein nucleic acid and glucose of target cells. Cordycepin can act on multiple cell signaling pathways, causing autophagy or apoptosis.
The indirect effect means that the anti-tumor active components in cordycepin can enhance the function of immune cells by promoting the proliferation and differentiation of human immune cells, thereby exerting anti-tumor effects.

●  Cordycepin antiviral effects

Cordycepin was first discovered and studied as a nucleoside antibiotic. It has a wide range of inhibitory effects on various pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses.

●  Cordycepin anti-aging effect

Cordycepin can increase the activity of SOD enzymes in the liver, inhibit the formation of superoxide compounds, and enhance the activity of monoamine oxidase in the brain, which indicates that cordycepin has an anti-aging effect.

●  Cordycepin lowers blood lipids and anti-coagulation

Cordycepin can also increase the weight of the spleen, accelerate the renewal rate of nucleic acid and protein in the liver, resist hypoxia, increase the blood flow of myocardial nutrition and reduce serum cholesterol. It also prevents the formation of blood clots.

●  Cordycepin anti-inflammatory effect, immunomodulatory effect

A large number of literatures show that cordycepin has clear anti-infection, anti-inflammatory, immune regulation and anti-tumor effects, and can also act on oxidative damage, metabolic disorders and nervous system diseases.
The mechanism of action of cordycepin is very complicated, but at least we know that the role of cordycepin in the academic world is undisputed. In addition, cordycepin has the functions of lowering blood sugar, treating and preventing obesity, anti-aging, and improving memory, which means that cordycepin is a rare nutritional product.

●  Cordycepin has the functions of improving human immune function, delaying aging, anti-fatigue, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-virus, lowering blood sugar and blood lipid and androgen-like effects.

●  Cordyceps is an adenosine analog that is easily converted to Cordyceps 5'-triphosphate; available as RNA 3'-end tag

●  Exist in the culture medium of Cordyceps militaris (Cordyceps militaris (L.)Link), and can also be chemically synthesized or biosynthesized
