Main Components:polysaccharide,cordycepine,cordycepic acid, adenosine and etc.

Main Function:Anti-tumor, kidney tonic, stronger human body, help to cure chronic nephritis, hepatitis, cough, asthma content： polysaccharides, 20%, 30%, 35% Common name: Caterpillar Mushroom, Cordyceps Sinensis INGREDIENT AND FUNCTION Dried Cordyceps Sinensis Polysaccharide content 25.32% crude protein, 8.4% crude fat, 18.53% crude fabric, 4.1% ash, 10.84%moisture, 28.9%carbohydrate, And12 free amines , including 8 amine acid which are necessary for human body.

In addition, there are some Histidin that is necessary for children’s growth

Nutrition polysaccharides are common sources of energy. Many organisms can easily break down starches into glucose; however, most organisms cannot metabolize cellulose or other polysaccharides like chitin and arabinoxylans. These carbohydrate types can be metabolized by some bacteria and protists. Ruminants and termites, for example, use microorganisms to process cellulose.

Even though these complex to carbohydrates are not very digestible, they provide important dietary elements for humans. Called dietary fiber, these carbohydrates enhance digestion among other benefits.

The main action of dietary fiber is to change the nature of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract, and to change how other nutrients and chemicals are absorbed.Soluble fiber binds to bile acids in the small intestine, making them less likely to enter the body; this in turn lowers cholesterol levels in the blood.Soluble fiber also attenuates the absorption of sugar, reduces sugar response after eating, normalizes blood lipid levels and, once fermented in the colon, produces short-chain fatty acids as byproducts with wide-ranging physiological activities (discussion below).

Although insoluble fiber is associated with reduced diabetes risk, the mechanism by which this occurs is unknown.

Not yet formally proposed as an essential macronutrient (as of 2005), dietary fiber is nevertheless regarded as important for the diet, with regulatory authorities in many developed countries recommending increases in fiber intake.

Definition:Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages and on hydrolysis give the constituent monosaccharides or oligosaccharides. They range in structure from linear to highly branched. Examples include storage polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen, and structural polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin.
