Ophiocordyceps sinensis has traditionally been used to treat male sexual dysfunction and in vitro and in vivo studies have shown it to increase the level of male sex hormones1-3. Clinical experience with O. sinensis mycelial biomass confirms its benefits in this area when taken over an extended period.
CLINICAL NOTE
O. cordyceps mycelial biomass (3g/day).
