It is also a powerful antioxidant and can defend against oxidative damage to our cells and in turn the mitochondria meaning the cells produce more ATP and as a result, we increase the total amount of fuel available to our body. Cordyceps sinensis also helps improve immunity by stimulating cells and precise chemicals in the immune system. It may also have functioning against cancer cells and may shrink tumor size, particularly with lung or skin cancers.
 Cordyceps sinensis is considered to have anti-aging properties because of improving antioxidant enzyme status in the brains of animals with accelerated d-galactose-induced senescence and promoted sexual function. [4] It can regulate testicular testosterone production.
Some studies show that taking cordyceps sinesis supplements during or following chemotherapy can lower symptoms of the treatment and increase the body’s defense mechanisms. There are also facts that they help restore normal fat mobilization and reduce oxidative damage that contributes to almost every chronic disease from heart disease to cognitive decline.

The dosages for different symptoms vary. It is recommended to take Cordyceps sinesis 3 to 6 g/day has been used in patients with long-term renal failure for periods ranging from days to years and for 2 months has been used in conjunction with chemotherapy in clinical studies involving lung cancer.

In clinical trials evaluating effect on physical performance, cordyceps sinesis 3.15 g taken daily for 5 weeks had no effect compared with placebo. However, the total dose range should be between 500 – 1000 mg per day.[5]
