Cordyceps flowers are rich in protein, amino acids, cordycepin, mannitol, SOD, polysaccharides and other ingredients. Among them, cordycepic acid and cordycepin can comprehensively regulate the internal environment of the human body, enhance the function of macrophages in the body, and play a certain role in enhancing and regulating the body's immune function and improving the body's disease resistance.

The fungus species of Cordyceps flower comes from Cordyceps militaris, and they have many similarities. In some places, Cordyceps militaris is used as a substitute for Cordyceps sinensis. The test results show that the contents of cordycepin, cordycepic acid, cordyceps polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements and other ingredients in the artificially cultivated Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies are similar to those in Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris. Cordyceps flowers also have many similarities with them.

The content of cordycepin in Cordyceps flower is 0.536 grams, while the content of cordycepin in wild Cordyceps is 0.006 grams; cordycepin can be used as anticancer agent, antiviral agent, antioxidant, ribonucleic acid inhibitor, bioactive substance, and antifungal agent.

The mechanism of action of cordycepin is that it has a strong inhibitory effect on the proliferation of mouse tumor cell lines. Cordycepin can penetrate into RNA and be phosphorylated into 3ˊ--ATP in cells, which will inevitably lead to mRNA absorption and maturation disorders, affecting protein synthesis, thereby achieving the effect of inhibiting tumors.

Cordycepin has a strong inhibitory effect on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KD) cells. Cordycepin is mostly used clinically as an auxiliary treatment for malignant tumors, with symptoms improving in more than 91.7% of cases. It is mainly used for patients with nasal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, brain cancer and other malignant tumors.

It can significantly reduce the hypoxia tolerance of mice, increase myocardial nutritional blood flow, maintain arrhythmia in rats, and have a certain protective effect on stress-induced myocardial infarction in rats.

It can lower blood lipids and prevent arteriosclerosis, and has a comprehensive promoting effect on hematopoietic function. Promotes cellular immunity and suppresses humoral immunity. It is considered to be a new type of immunosuppressant with effective elements.

It has a certain inhibitory effect on gastric cancer and lung cancer in mice. The inhibition rate is 30%~50%. Intraperitoneal injection has an inhibitory effect on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma and can inhibit the hyperplasia and carcinogenesis of the forestomach epithelium induced by carcinogens.

It has androgen-like effects. In addition to acting through gonadal endocrine secretion, it may also act through the nervous system or other aspects. Cardiovascular effects: Inhibits platelet aggregation.

Promote the proliferation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (CFU-3), erythroid progenitor cells (CFU-E BFU-E) and bone marrow fibroblast progenitor cells (CFU-E).

Cordyceps sinensis has the effects of resisting fatigue, improving the body's immunity, and killing cancer cells.

Above we introduced what Cordyceps flower is. We know that Cordyceps flower has very high edible value. Cordyceps flower can be used to make various medicinal foods. Eating Cordyceps flower regularly can have very good therapeutic effects.
