In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this formula is traditionally associated with tonifying the Lung, Spleen, and Kidney. This formula is designed as a general wellness tonic and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Clinical Applications & Benefits

Cordyceps 3 is traditionally used to help support:
