The Legend of Cordyceps
Cordyceps is known as “legendary treasure of the East”. Cordyceps, in Chinese called “Winter Worm, Summer Grass”, belongs to the family of fungus (Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc. Clavicipitaceae). As the name implies, Cordyceps is a caterpillar in Winter which evolves into a “grass” in summer.
The fungus is parasitic on the larva of the bat moth (Hepialus armoricanus Oberthur, Hepialidae). The parasitic fungus invades the body of caterpillar when it is hibernating during winter and consumes its soft tissue. Finally, the caterpillar dies. During summer, the stroma which is about 3-5 cm long, grows from the head of the larva.
It is occasionally found growing on other moth species as well. The normal range of this fungus is above 2000 meters elevation, and it has been found as high as 6,000 meters. There are also many other species of the genus Cordyceps. About 250 species of the Cordyceps are distributed worldwide, about 65 of them in China, 100 in Japan, and about 70 in Korea.

Artificial Cultivation of Cordyceps
i. 1980s :
A sexual reproduction. Production of Cordyceps mycelium, mainly in China, using artificial medium as host. The mycelium is cultivated in huge tanks using liquid fermentation method. It is sold in the market as capsules or wine or drinks only.
ii. Mid 1990s:
Sexual reproduction using silkworm as hosts. Scientists in
Japan and Korea used silkworm puma as host to cultivate
the stroma (or the fruit body) of Cordyceps.
iii. Latest Development :
Direct cultivation of Cordyceps stroma. Involves
sexual reproduction with specially formulated medium
which replaces the bat-moth caterpillar. The fruit
body cultivation is based on organic medium developed
by scientists. This is the most advanced stage of
cultivation which engages the highest level of technology application. Only a small number of quality strains can be successfully cultivated into stroma.
Stroma of Cordyceps
Cordyceps stroma or "fruit body" is the mushroom part of the Cordyceps. The stroma grows from the head of the caterpillar corpse (which has been replaced by organic medium) when the Cordyceps becomes mature. In fact, the stroma is equivalent to the fruit on the fruit tree, and the mycelium of the caterpillar corpse (which has been replaced by the organic medium in our stroma cultivation process) serves to provide nutrition to the fruit. In fact, the most effective and potent elements are concentrated inside the fruit body.
Asia Herbal Biotech Cordyceps Stroma
The high quality strain of AHB Cordyceps Stroma by using latest biotechnology the fungus is cultivated in a controlled environment to produce AHB Cordyceps Stroma containing pharmacologically active components similar to those of the wild Cordyceps. The potency of stroma is, however, more stable and safer than that of wild Cordyceps. AHB Cordyceps Stroma has been internationally tested to exceed the criteria of medicinal grade cordyceps (according to the Chinese Pharmacopeoia) by an impressive 28 times.
Examined by an independent International Testing Group, Lifestream Greenhouse, AHB Cordyceps Stroma consists of 18 Amino Acids, 12 Vitamins, and is rich in Polysaccharides, Cordycepin, Cordycepic Acid (D-Mannitol), Adenosine and Adenine.
AHB Cordyceps Stroma is superior to wild Cordyceps in the following capacities:
It is "caterpillar free", i.e. grown without the use of animal nutrients, resulting in a 100% pure "vegetarian" health product.
It is regularly tested by independent laboratories. The level of heavy metal is far below the stipulated international safety standard.
It is harvested at the most appropriate time. This is crucial in ensuring its efficacy and high potency.
It is much more affordable than wild Cordyceps.
It is instantly prepared.
AHB Cordyceps Stroma is totally natural. It is free from preservatives, artificial coloring, flavor, pesticide and synthetic ingredients. It is a gentle tonic suitable for long-term consumption by all ages and for all seasons with no contraindications and adverse side effects.
Research shows that Cordyceps is beneficial for the heart, liver and immune
system etc;
1. Heart disease: In clinical studies significant improvements were found in stroke volume, heartbeat, cardiac output etc. in the Cordyceps group vs. the control group.
2. Cholesterol: Cordyceps reduces the amount of "bad" LDL cholesterol and increases the amount "good" HDL cholesterol. In one study, Cordyceps lowered total cholesterol levels by over 17 percent.
3. Liver Disease: Cordyceps can improve symptoms and liver-cell structures dramatically. Cirrhosis cells disappeared in 70 percent of the patients.
4. Sexual dysfunction in men: Cordyceps can benefit many men who have problems involving sexual function.
5. Disorder of the immune system: Cordyceps appears to be one of the most adaptive immunomodulators.
6. Fatigue: Cordyceps is used by competitive athletes in the treatment of fatigue and weakness, and to improve endurance and increase energy.

Hexagonal Water Technology (HWT)
Water is formed when two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom combine, thus giving us the
formula H2O. This is known as a Hydrogen Bond. When 6 Hydrogen Bonds come together,
they form an organized pattern in the shape of a hexagon, a crystal-like structure, called
Hexagonal Water (picture a six-pointed star made out of water, i.e.: a snowflake). For a more
in-depth definition of Hexagonal Water, its function,and its ability to positively affect your
health, we encourage you to read Hexagonal Water: The Ultimate Solution, a 55-page
booklet by MJ Pangman, Msc.
Dr. Mu Shik Jhon explains that hexagonal water actually has the capacity to hold more
energy than normal water because of its structure. He states, “100% hexagonally structured
water has a huge capacity to store energy which can be released immediately when it is
utilized by living organism.”
Hexagonal Water Technology is liquid crystalline water. It is able to carry signals and transfer
information with greater efficiency because of its high degree if organization. It has a higher
energy state and appears to be the key to faster hydration, enhanced energy transfer, protein
and DNA stability, and the enhancement of numerous metabolic processes.
Every cell in our body has “docking stations” called receptor sites. For optimum absorption of
nutrients, water molecules need to have a particular molecular shape in order to hook up to
these receptor sites (much like a key that fits the right lock), thus allowing nutrients to be
carried into the cell and toxins to be transported out of the cell. Most types of water (distilled,
tap, filtered, etc…) do not have the correct molecular shape needed to penetrate or “unlock”
our cells in order to remove toxin build-up and to allow nutrients to enter.
