Liver health: Cordyceps has been used to treat liver disease in humans for thousands of years.
Sexual dysfunction: Cordyceps is sometimes called "Himalayan Viagra" because it's believed to improve sexual performance.
Heart health: Cordyceps may help maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Inflammation: Cordyceps may reduce inflammation in the airways and skin.
