What\u2019s more, these mushrooms cause no side effects and deliver more permanent results.<\/p>\n
A team of researchers from the University of Nottingham identified that Cordyceps sinensis mushroom can be useful for treating arthritis. <\/p>\n
To test its efficacy, cordycepin, the active ingredient of the mushroom, was given to rats and mice and the effects were observed. <\/p>\n
It turned out that cordycepin was more effective at reducing pain caused by osteoarthritis than most anti-inflammatory drugs. In fact, this compound was found to be helpful even if other drugs and steroids failed to help. Best of all, it seems to have fewer side effects.<\/p>\n
It is not just osteoarthritis that cordyceps is useful for. Many previous studies have shown it to have a wide range of benefits including reduction in risk of developing cancer, stroke, kidney damage, inflammatory lung disease, Type 2 diabetes and even to improve sexual function and mood.<\/p>\n
Now how can you get your hands on Cordyceps sinesis mushroom?<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Cordyceps sinesis is extremely rare and only grows in specific areas in Nepal. You\u2019re therefore not going to get Cordyceps sinesis in your local supermarket.<\/p>\n
However, supplements from Cordyceps sinesis or mushrooms carrying the same active ingredients can be found in most health food stores.<\/p>\n
If you suffer arthritis, I strongly recommend you try Cordyceps sinesis supplement for a month or two and see if it helps you.<\/p>\n
