The active ingredient of Cordyceps is mainly Cordyceps polysaccharide, which is a polysaccharide composed of mannose, cordycepin, adenosine, galactose, arabinose, xylose, glucose, and fucose. Experiments have proved that Cordyceps polysaccharide can improve human immune function and increase white blood cells, and it has been clinically used to treat malignant tumors. In addition, Cordyceps is also used to treat tuberculosis, shortness of breath and cough, impotence, wet dreams, spontaneous sweats, night sweats, waist and knee pain, and it has the effect of lowering blood sugar.

Function
1. Anti-tumor activity
2. Hypoglycemic effect
3. Protect the liver
4. Protect kidney function
5. Immune regulation

Outlook
Research on Cordyceps polysaccharides, although there are differences in the raw materials of Cordyceps mycelium used, and the isolated and purified polysaccharides are different, they all confirm the functions of Cordyceps polysaccharides in immunoregulation and tumor suppression from different angles. Cordyceps polysaccharide is considered to be one of the very good immune boosters in the world. Therefore, cordyceps polysaccharides have broad prospects for use in health foods and pharmaceutical products. With the rapid development of modern biotechnology, artificial fermentation culture has become another new way to obtain cordyceps polysaccharides. Cordyceps polysaccharides will play an important role in human health and longevity.
