**Tincture of Cordyceps**–Cordyceps sinensis–Other Names: Caterpillar Fungus, Caterpillar MushroomCordyceps is a mushroom that was first popularized in the western world after Chinese Olympians set many world records in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This mushroom has been used by humans for far longer than that however, with its first historical mention occurring in 1694. Best known for its effects of boosting energy and endurance, Cordyceps also provides benefits to the lungs, kidneys, adrenal glands, and cardiovascular system as an adaptogen and antioxidant. This tincture is formulated with a 1:5 herb to menstruum ratio using Cordyceps grown in the USA.These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.How to take it?Our tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol in order to preserve the quality of the solution. Since alcohol can have a rather offensive taste, we have a number of suggestions for how to ingest this:Place the drops directly under the tongue and chase with a small glass of water, juice, or any other fluid that may taste more pleasantPlace the drops directly in an ounce or so of water or other fluid and drink thatIf serving to children under the age of 21, or if you want to avoid the harsh taste of the alcohol, you can either let the tincture sit out or heat it up on very low heat, until the alcohol evaporates (alcohol evaporates faster than water)About our tinctures:Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills.
