Wild Ophiocordyceps sinensis is a rare and expensive Chinese herb. It consists of a caterpillar and a blade-like mushroom body growing from one end. Its common Chinese name is “Winter worm, summer grass”. Due to the high cost of this herb, the Chinese developed the mycelium of this mushroom and now grow it in liquid fermentation tanks. This pure mycelium product is known as Cs-4.
A large body of research has demonstrated that Cs-4 has a similar profile of active compounds and activities as wild Cordyceps. It is traditionally used for fatigue, general weakness, improved respiratory function and improved sexual function. It is currently used in many athletic performance products.
