6.The effect of sterol
The main srerol component in cordyceps is ergosterol,that is fat-soluble vitamin D2 precursors,converting into vitamin D2 under ultraviolet radiation. Ergosterol is the characteristic sterol of fungi.It is an important component of fungal cell membrane. Ergosterol has the effect on influenza prevention.Intake regularly can prevent and treat on rickets caused by calcium metabolism disorder ,and prevent all kinds of mucositis and dermatitis.
7.Nucleoside
