Can children eat Cordyceps flowers?

I believe everyone is very familiar with Cordyceps flowers. Cordyceps flowers are very rich in nutrients. Cordyceps flowers contain many vitamins needed by our human body. Cordyceps flowers also contain many trace elements. Cordyceps flowers are rich in protein. Eating Cordyceps flowers can bring us a healthy body. Cordyceps flowers have very high edible value and medicinal value. So can children eat Cordyceps flowers?

Cordyceps flowers can improve our respiratory system function. Eating cordyceps flowers regularly can prevent tumors. Cordyceps flowers can regulate the functions of our liver and kidneys. Eating cordyceps flowers regularly can also provide our body with immunity.

"Cordyceps flower" is not a flower. It is actually the fruiting body of Cordyceps militaris, not the fruiting body of Cordyceps sinensis or Cordyceps sinensis. The culture medium imitates the various nutrients contained in natural insects, including grains, beans, eggs and milk, etc., and is a kind of fungus. It is very similar to common edible fungi such as shiitake mushrooms and oyster mushrooms, except for the different strains, growth environment and growth conditions. In order to distinguish it from Cordyceps, merchants gave it a beautiful name, calling it "Cordyceps Flower". The biggest feature of Cordyceps Flower in appearance is that it has no "insect body" but only orange or yellow "grass".

Cordyceps flower is the abbreviation of Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Cordyceps militaris or pupa grass, commonly known as immortal grass, is a medicinal fungus combined with insects and fungi, a modern rare Chinese herbal medicine, Cordyceps sinensis belongs to the phylum Fungi, class Ascomycetes, order Hypocreales, family Ergotaceae, and genus Cordyceps. It mainly grows in the northern regions of our country. Cordyceps sinensis is not only rich in protein and amino acids, but also contains more than 30 trace elements needed by the human body. It is an excellent tonic.

Cordyceps flower is rich in protein, 18 kinds of amino acids, 17 kinds of trace elements, and 12 kinds of vitamins: The content of A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E, etc. is higher than that of mushrooms. Research and testing in Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Canada, the United States, and more than a dozen units in China have proved that Cordyceps sinensis is the most ideal substitute for traditional Cordyceps sinensis.

Cordyceps flower is mild in nature, neither cold nor dry, and can be eaten safely by most people. Cordyceps flowers are rich in protein, amino acids, cordycepin, mannitol, SOD, polysaccharides and other ingredients. Among them, cordycepic acid and cordycepin can comprehensively regulate the internal environment of the human body, enhance the function of macrophages in the body, and play a certain role in enhancing and regulating the body's immune function and improving the body's disease resistance. It is beneficial to the liver and kidneys, replenishes the essence, stops bleeding and resolves phlegm. It is mainly used as an auxiliary treatment for dizziness and tinnitus, forgetfulness and insomnia, soreness of the waist and knees, impotence and premature ejaculation, long-term cough and asthma.

The fungus species of Cordyceps flower comes from Cordyceps militaris, and they have many similarities. In some places, Cordyceps militaris is used as a substitute for Cordyceps sinensis. The test results show that the contents of cordycepin, cordycepic acid, cordyceps polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements and other ingredients in the artificially cultivated Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies are similar to those in Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris. Cordyceps flowers also have many similarities with them.

The content of cordycepin in Cordyceps flower is 0.536 grams, while the content of cordycepin in wild Cordyceps is 0.006 grams; cordycepin can be used as anticancer agent, antiviral agent, antioxidant, ribonucleic acid inhibitor, bioactive substance, and antifungal agent.

The mechanism of action of cordycepin is that it has a strong inhibitory effect on the proliferation of mouse tumor cell lines. Cordycepin can penetrate into RNA and be phosphorylated into 3ˊ--ATP in cells, which will inevitably lead to mRNA absorption and maturation disorders, affecting protein synthesis, thereby achieving the effect of inhibiting tumors.

Cordycepin has a strong inhibitory effect on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KD) cells. Cordycepin is mostly used clinically as an auxiliary treatment for malignant tumors, with symptoms improving in more than 91.7% of cases. It is mainly used for patients with nasal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, brain cancer and other malignant tumors.

It can significantly reduce the hypoxia tolerance of mice, increase myocardial nutritional blood flow, maintain arrhythmia in rats, and have a certain protective effect on stress-induced myocardial infarction in rats. It can lower blood lipids and prevent arteriosclerosis, and has a comprehensive promoting effect on hematopoietic function.

Promotes cellular immunity and suppresses humoral immunity. It is considered to be a new type of immunosuppressant with effective elements.

It has a certain inhibitory effect on gastric cancer and lung cancer in mice. The inhibition rate is 30%~50%. Intraperitoneal injection has an inhibitory effect on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma and can inhibit the hyperplasia and carcinogenesis of the forestomach epithelium induced by carcinogens.

It has androgen-like effects. In addition to acting through gonadal endocrine secretion, it may also act through the nervous system or other aspects.

Cardiovascular effects: Inhibits platelet aggregation.

Promote the proliferation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (CFU-3), erythroid progenitor cells (CFU-E BFU-E) and bone marrow fibroblast progenitor cells (CFU-E). Cordyceps sinensis has the effects of resisting fatigue, improving the body's immunity, and killing cancer cells.

Above we introduced what Cordyceps flower is. We know that Cordyceps flower contains a variety of vitamins and trace elements needed by the human body. Eating Cordyceps flower regularly can have a good therapeutic effect. Cordyceps flower has the effect of regulating our kidneys and liver. In addition, Cordyceps flower can also enhance the body's immunity, so Cordyceps flower is suitable for children.
