Can children use Cordyceps? What is the dosage?

Children CAN use Cordyceps BUT need to be careful! – Advice from doctors at the National Children's Hospital.

So in reality, at what age should children be and are allowed to use Cordyceps? What is the dosage and how to prepare it for use? The answer will be in the following article by NanoFrance!

I. Effects of Cordyceps on children!

Cordyceps is known for its outstanding effects in supplementing nutrients, increasing resistance, strengthening the kidneys, preventing cancer... So how effective is this herb for children?

• Helps brain development, enhances memory and concentration
• Increase resistance, reduce illness
• Support to improve anorexia and malnutrition

Because of the above advantages, Cordyceps is also "sought after" by many parents with the desire to help their children develop better.

II. Can children use Cordyceps?

1. Children under 5 years old should absolutely NOT use Cordyceps.

Why do experts “ban” the use of Cordyceps for children under 5 years old? → The body is not fully developed, it CANNOT absorb too much nutrients from this herb. In particular, supplementing too many nutrients from a young age will put children at risk of early puberty.

2. Over 13 years old – Children can use Cordyceps

Experts also say that the most suitable age for children to take Cordyceps is 13 years old. Supplementing Cordyceps will help children's bodies develop comprehensively both physically and mentally, especially with the ability to adapt to the changes of puberty.

Dosage for children over 13 years old: 0.5-1g dry/day (or 2-4g fresh/day)

3. Can children between the ages of 6-12 use Cordyceps?

If your child falls into one of the following categories, you can still use it:

→ Children during exam and study stress: This herb helps create strong connections between nerve cells. Therefore, it can help the brain develop better, concentrate better and remember longer.

→ Children often get sick: Cordyceps helps strengthen the immune system, resistance, and helps prevent diseases caused by viruses.

→ Children with slow growth and stunted growth: They also help improve anorexia and malnutrition in children.

Dosage for children from 6-12 years old: 0.5g dry/day (or 2g fresh/day)

III. Physical condition is also a "key" factor in deciding whether or not to give children Cordyceps!

In addition to age requirements, whether or not children should take Cordyceps depends largely on the child's physical condition!

Cordyceps has a warm nature so it is not suitable for children who:

→ Have unstable blood pressure (higher or lower than normal).

→ Children often have internal bleeding and nosebleeds.

→ Children often have heat in their body or constipation

→ Children with fever may get into a bad condition if they use Cordyceps.

"Miracle drugs" can also turn into poison if the user is NOT suitable.

IV. Some notes when using Cordyceps for children

Experts have given 5 important notes before giving children Cordyceps:

First , you should consult a doctor or specialist before giving it to children with health problems.

Second, DO NOT arbitrarily combine Cordyceps with other medicinal herbs.

Third, DO NOT give children spicy foods while using Cordyceps.

Fourth, use a glass or ceramic cordyceps container.

Fifth, if the child shows signs of allergy such as hives, rashes, etc. after use, parents should stop using the product immediately and take the child to see a doctor.

Obviously, children can use Cordyceps and the recommended age for use is 13 years old. Note: Do NOT let children use too much!
