Cordyceps is a type of fungus that grows on the larvae of caterpillars. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to improve fatigue, cough, sexual desire, kidney function, and weakness after a severe illness. Today, dietary supplements and other products containing lab-made cordyceps are advertised to help with everything from athletic performance and blood sugar control to immunity.

Health Benefits:

May Improve Athletic Performance:

Kida jadi supplements have become very popular among athletes. This fungus is said to improve athletic performance by increasing blood flow, increasing oxygen utilization, and functioning as an antioxidant. One study examined the effect of a mushroom blend containing Cordyceps militaris on exercise performance compared with a placebo. However, supplementation for three weeks daily improved maximal oxygen intake significantly, an indication of increased training intensity and delayed fatigue when cordyceps are supplemented chronically.

May Benefit Heart Health:

Yarsagumba may benefit heart health by improving blood lipid (fat) levels and treating arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). High levels of fats in the blood, also known as hyperlipidemia, are a key risk factor for heart disease. A 2020 review of studies found that cordycepin, the main bioactive compound in cordyceps, can reduce the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides in animals.

May Help Control Diabetes:

Diabetes is a health condition that results when the sugar level is high in your blood. It is the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S. In animal studies, Himalayan viagra extract has been shown to lower blood sugar by improving glucose metabolism, or how efficiently your body processes sugar from foods you eat. It might also protect the nerves from damage done by diabetes.

May reduce inflammation:

Inflammation is a normal response to injury or infection and a necessary part of the healing process. But chronic inflammation that lasts for months or years can lead to several chronic health conditions, including:

Heart disease:

Autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis
 Irritable bowel disease
 Diabetes
 Depression
 Certain types of cancer
 Asthma

Anti-Aging Properties:

Oxidative stress—the imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body—plays a significant role in aging and the development of age-related diseases, including dementia, arthritis, and cancer. Several compounds in cordyceps, including cordycepin and polysaccharides, are thought to have potent antioxidant properties. Antioxidants interact with and neutralize free radicals, protecting the body from oxidative stress.

Nutritional Facts:

The nutrition content of caterpillar fungus supplements will vary from brand to brand. However, wild cordyceps are considered to be one of the most nutritious mushrooms. They contain various amino acids, vitamins E and K, several B vitamins, and trace elements. Cordyceps are also high in polysaccharides, accounting for 3–8% of their overall weight, and nucleosides like cordycepin and adenosine, which are believed to contribute to most of their health benefits.

Risks of Consuming Kida Jadi:

When consumed as recommended, cordyceps is unlikely to be toxic. However, there are no human studies to establish the safety of cordyceps. Some people have reported experiencing mild to moderate side effects, including:

Nausea
 Diarrhea
 Dry mouth
 Headache
 Bloating
 Throat discomfort
 Allergic reactions
