Cordyceps sinensis
About Cordyceps sinensis Cs-4 Cordyceps sinensis Cs-4 is a standardized natural product produced by a proprietary fermentation process using an isolated, scientifically-supported strain of mycelia (Paecilomyces hepialiChen, Cs-4 ). Cs-4 mycelia (the underground portion of the mushroom) is extracted from fresh Cordyceps sinensis collected from the Qinghai province, China.
In 1987, Cs-4 was the first "Class I" Traditional Chinese Medicine approved by the Chinese ministry of Health. "Class I" Traditional Chinese medicines are rigorously evaluated for safety and efficacy in pharmacology, toxicology and clinical trials. Cs-4 (known as Jin Shui Bao) was also placed under intellectual property protection by the Chinese government in 1995. Pharmanex has the exclusive right to market Cordyceps sinensis Cs-4 outside of China.
About Cordyceps sinensis
The mushroom Cordyceps sinensis, which produces the proprietary active ingredient, has a rich two thousand-year history. For generations, Cordyceps sinensis has been considered the premier agent in the Chinese culture for restoring energy, promoting longevity and improving the quality of life. This natural material is extremely rare. The mushroom grows primarily on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau at altitudes above 14,000 feet. It takes five to seven years for the mushroom to complete its life cycle and produce the natural product. Due to the scarcity and high price of Cordyceps sinensis, its use was reserved exclusively for the Emperor's Palace. For two thousand years, Cordyceps sinensis was virtually unknown to the Western world.

Green Tea
> The Health Protector
> Exceptional Antioxidant Activity
Brewed Green tea
Four cups per day of brewed tea, average retail price about 0.90 per day. (I would recommend decaffeinated to avoid the caffeine and the added stimulation.)
Green tea in a capsule
Green tea in a capsule provides the most concentrated levels of green tea polyphenols available in a dietary supplement. Recent studies have substantiated that the polyphenols in green tea, particularly the catechin component, offer health promoting antioxidant activity. These antioxidants even have advantages over vitamins C and E.
Four cups of green tea a day has been proven to be the correct amount for these health benefits, based on studies involving 100,000 people over a ten-year period. Now you can get the same health benefits with Green tea in a capsule dietary supplement capsules, without the caffeine... naturally.
Retail price about 0.57 per day.

Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo biloba
To function properly, the brain requires an enormous amount of oxygen; roughly 20% of the body's total supply. But as the body ages, the blood supply to the brain decreases, which causes oxygen depletion. This can lead to loss of concentration and memory.
Ginkgo biloba extract, an all-natural substance derived from the leaves of the ginko tree, contains ginkolides which safely and naturally promote circulation to the brain. As a result, the brain functions better, and memory and concentration are stimulated.
In a recent animal study, only one brand of Ginkgo biloba has shown a faster onset of action, delivered a higher level of ginkgolides, and worked longer than the leading ginkgo brand. This is the most advanced form of ginkgo you can buy.
