5. Cordyceps Has Been Shown to Have Anti-Aging Properties
Some studies have also shown cordyceps to have anti-aging properties. In fact, this is an extremely popular natural remedy among the elderly because it does a lot more than anti-aging on the outside; it also has an impact on improving the skin from the inside as well. One of the current theories is that high antioxidant content cordyceps is one of the reasons why they are so effective in anti-aging.
These benefits are not just based upon appearance or cosmetics; research conducted on aged mice showed that cordyceps helped improve both memory and sexual function. The antioxidants in cordyceps work to eliminate free radicals which are believed to be the major cause of aging. There is also a great deal of anecdotal evidence that it works really well on humans as well although there has been no research conducted on humans yet.
