Cordyceps has also been shown to decrease elevated liver enzymes and functions as an antioxidant scavenging free radicals. Like Reishi and Astragalus, Cordyceps is as an adaptogen that modulates the stress response and lowers oxidative stress.
Cordyceps has also shown to be protective against hepatotoxicity via activating NrF2 pathways – a key anti-inflammatory pathway – thanks to its unique polysaccharide compounds.

Cordyceps also balances sex hormone levels adding a preventative dimension to liver detoxification. It’s been shown to decrease and balance estrogens within the body. (Powell, Martin. Medicinal Mushrooms – A Clinical Guide . Mycology Press. Kindle Edition.)
