Cordyceps CS-4

Contributes to the normal state of the immune system

Cordyceps CS-4 is a highly concentrated dietary supplement created from a patented extract of the Cordyceps sinensis mushroom in CS-4 form. It contains a pure extract providing 40% polysaccharides in each dose.

The formula is designed to stimulate the body's natural life processes, boosting energy, endurance and immune defense.

The effects of Cordyceps CS-4

• Helps increase energy levels and reduce feelings of fatigue

• Supports the respiratory system and may improve lung capacity

• Stimulates the natural immune response by activating important defense mechanisms

• It has a strong antioxidant effect and helps neutralize free radicals.

• Supports metabolic processes and adaptation to stress

• Promotes recovery after physical exertion or illness

Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi that naturally grow on insect larvae, most commonly in the mountainous regions of Tibet and China. The most well-known and studied species is Cordyceps sinensis, which has held an important place in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine for centuries. Today, it is often used in a cultivated form as the CS-4 strain – the form included in the Vitabay Cordyceps CS-4 supplement.

The mushroom contains a number of biologically active compounds with therapeutic potential:

• Cordycepin – a nucleoside, structurally similar to adenosine, with antiviral, antibacterial and antitumor properties.

• Polysaccharides – powerful immunomodulators that activate macrophages and strengthen the body's natural defenses

• Sterols – substances with the ability to balance the hormonal system and regulate cholesterol

• Peptides and glycoproteins – support tissue repair processes and cell metabolic activity.

Cordyceps is classified as an adaptogen, helping the body maintain balance under stress and adapt to various stressful situations without causing side effects. Its unique composition makes it a valuable tool for supporting energy, respiration, the immune system and even libido.

Health benefits of taking Cordyceps CS-4

More energy and endurance

Cordyceps CS-4 is known to increase energy levels in the body by stimulating the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy carrier in cells. When ATP levels are high, the body has more “fuel”, which translates into increased physical endurance, reduced fatigue and faster recovery from physical exertion. This is especially beneficial for athletes and active people, but also for anyone who feels a decline in their tone.

Strengthening the immune system

Thanks to the high content of polysaccharides, the supplement stimulates immune cells, including macrophages and NK cells (natural killers), which play a key role in protecting the body against viruses and bacteria. Strengthening immunity leads to less frequent illness, milder infections and better resistance of the body in periods of increased risk of diseases.

Antioxidant protection

The mushroom has a pronounced antioxidant effect. It has the ability to help the body fight free radicals - unstable molecules that can damage cellular structures, DNA and proteins in the body. Taking the supplement can slow down aging, reduce inflammatory processes and support skin, heart and brain health.

Improved respiratory function

The mushroom has been traditionally used to improve lung function. Studies have shown that it increases the oxygen capacity of the blood, which is key for people suffering from asthma, bronchitis, or other respiratory conditions. Improved oxygenation leads to more energy, better sleep, and increased vitality.

Hormonal balance and anti-stress effect

One of the most pronounced effects of Cordyceps is that of an adaptogen - it helps the body cope with stress by modulating the function of the adrenal glands, regulating cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and supporting mental resilience. Regular intake leads to a better mood, better sleep and a sense of inner balance.

Support for the cardiovascular system

Some studies suggest that Cordyceps may help regulate cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. This supports heart rhythm, improves blood vessel elasticity, and reduces the risk of hypertension. This is important both for prevention and as an adjunct to a healthy lifestyle for people at increased risk of heart disease.
