Approaching Science 16/04/2014: Cordyceps sinensis: the secret of "soft gold"

Video Introduction

The main content of this program: Liu Qiang, 30, has been engaged in the purchase of cordyceps for nearly 7 years. The cordyceps sinensis in 2013 has not gone down in a large area. He has come to Naqu cordyceps market to check the market. All kinds of new things in the market are dazzling, but also confusing. This medicinal fungus, which is inaccessible to ordinary people and known as "soft gold", contains cordyceps acid, cordycepin and cordyceps polysaccharide. Cordycepin has very good effects in protecting the liver, protecting the kidney and moistening the lung, and also has anti-tumor and antiviral effects, but its content in cordyceps is very low. Because a large number of businesses hype the efficacy of cordyceps, and cordyceps cannot be cultivated artificially, the price of cordyceps remains high all the year round.
