| Reader, It's a troubling and distressing statistic – and something I've witnessed firsthand with patients at my clinic…
Nearly two-thirds of men suffering from type 2 diabetes are currently experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED) – or will in the near future.1  65% of Cordyceps users reported significant improvement in sexual function. | That's the heartbreaking conclusion of a large meta-analysis recently published in the journal BMC Public Health.
It doesn't have to happen.
As I help my patients reclaim their health by beating diabetes naturally, I'm also helping them reclaim their potency. But not with Big Pharma's blue pills.
You see, while this drug is effective at first, it stops working over time. And you need bigger doses to get the same effect. Before long, it stops working all together.
I help my patients enhance their sexual stamina with a rare Tibetan fungus that fuels bedroom fire.
I'm talking about Cordyceps sinensis.
In a recent study, researchers tested the effects of Cordyceps on 286 impotent men who were given a gram of the mushroom three times a day. After 40 days, 183 of the patients reported an improvement in their sexual performance and sex drive.2
This backs up earlier research done at the same institution.
In that study, 50 patients suffering from impotency were also treated with "Himalayan Viagra."
After 40 days, 13 of the men reported full recovery of sexual functions, and 20 reported a feeling of sexual arousal and achieving a full erection.
And in a third study, researchers demonstrated that 65% of Cordyceps users reported significant improvement in sexual function compared with just 24% of the placebo group.3
Cordyceps sinensis has been considered a libido-booster by tribesmen in the Himalayan mountain ranges of Tibet for more than 2,000 years.
Its aphrodisiac effects were first noted by yak herders, who observed an increase in the animals' sexual activity immediately after they grazed on the mushrooms. But until now, no one knew why it was so effective.
As it turns out, this humble mushroom enhances the levels of serum luteinizing hormone (LH), which in turn increases plasma testosterone production.4
But Cordyceps sinensis isn't the only fungus that fuels bedroom fire…
There is another species of Cordyceps mushroom known as Cordyceps militaris. And it also shows promise in boosting the sexual health of both men and women – especially those with diabetes.
In a 2021 animal study, researchers divided a group of male and female rats into two groups. Half were induced with diabetes.
As the disease progressed with time, the scientists noted that sexual activity between the animals declined.5
The researchers then supplemented both groups with cordyceps militaris. The results stunned the scientists…
Within 30 minutes of taking the mushroom, the ability to complete sexual activity was 83% for healthy rats and 67% in diabetic rats.
A human study of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia also found positive results when it came to improving sexual function. In this study, the men received a dose of 250 mg.6 How to Supplement With Cordyceps When taking cordyceps supplements, here are a few key things to look for: - Know What You're Getting. When choosing a Cordyceps supplement, always check the source. Some distributors who want to profit from this medicinal mushroom grow Cordyceps in labs. These supplements use different fungal species and have less potency. Some Cordyceps supplements have been found 50 times weaker than natural, wild sources.
- Look For These Active Ingredients. Choose products standardized for active compounds like cordycepin or adenosine. I recommend wild-harvested Cordyceps from Tibet. Take 2 to 5 grams twice daily for best results. Look for Cordyceps sinensis or Cordyceps militaris. These are the most studied varieties.
- Start Slowly And Increase Gradually. Most studies use 1 to 3 grams of cordyceps. I suggest starting with 500 mg to 1 gram to test your tolerance. Increase if it's well-tolerated.
At the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I feel comfortable recommending cordyceps to my diabetic patients because I've weaned them off their Big Pharma diabetes drugs.
But if you're still taking a prescription, please consult with your doctor first.
To Your Good Health,
