My constitution is poor. The doctor suggested that I can take Cordyceps sinensis for a while to improve my constitution. Can I take it for a long time?

    It is often said that "it is a three-component drug". Due to environmental pollution, many Chinese herbal medicines contain more and more toxic ingredients. CFDA's previous monitoring and inspection results on Cordyceps sinensis and its products showed that the arsenic content was 4.4~9.9 mg/kg The arsenic limit value in the national food safety standard for health foods is 1.0 mg/kg. Long-term consumption of Cordyceps sinensis and its products will cause excessive intake of arsenic and may accumulate in the human body. There is a high risk. It is not recommended to take it for a long time.
