cordyceps - you probably know as much about it as I do; our understanding may differ.

the constituents and chemistry listing on the above pages should give you some of what you are looking for; note that there are several (thousands?) species of cordyceps though, some apparently having immunosuppressive effects.

You will often find the word parasitic associated with cordyceps because it is a parasitic\opportunistic fungus.

This is what is talked about when there can be, "good" parasites and "bad", like bacteria, and I would also guess virus as well. The "good", helping us, as a living organism, survive and adapt, the "bad", contributing towards our demise... a yin and yang. As an example, the "symptoms" of candadisis overgrowth is an environmental opportunistic response to conditions in the body.

Cordyceps Fungus



When one mentions or discusses cordyceps, it would be helpful to identify and define the species.

Here is a page discussing the cordyceps in maxgxl...

http://sunhutch.blogspot.com/2008/05/cordyceps-maxgxl-ingredients.html

the first statement is a bit misleading using the word "rare" in the general sense and not as it applies to the specific species used. It also is a bit misleading, and misrepresenting by omitting the many various species, however, most likely does so to focus on the species\variety used in maxgxl.
