If you're active on social media, the term Milk Thistle is probably already familiar to you. It's a phenomenon of the year 2024, with adverts for this "miracle herb" everywhere. Unlike other dietary supplements, there is no one who doubts the effects of this plant. Opinions only differ on individual products and their processing methods. So what is the miracle of this thistle?
For ages, people have been trying to find miraculous herbs and mushrooms that would enhance health, cure deadly diseases, and boost male potency. Each culture has its proven aphrodisiacs. Here, oysters or chocolate are especially well-known. Recently, especially with the development of tourism, we gradually also learn about other invigorating means that people use often on the opposite side of the planet. One of the oldest substances for potency support is Maca Peruvian Watercress.
Reishi, a mushroom used for over 4000 years. The divine mushroom of immortality - in the past, it was believed to revive even the dead. It holds its significant place especially in Chinese medicine (under the name lingzhi), where it was mentioned in writing as early as 200 BC. Entire armies were designated to search for it, as the Chinese imperial court believed it could be used to concoct the elixir of immortality. The Slovak name might not tell you much - Leskokôrka brown-red, is actually a wood-decaying parasitic mushroom, living mostly on injured trees. It has a vast spectrum of biologically active substances. Its effects are also described in the professional encyclopedia Mushrooms as medicine.
In addition to vitamins, enzymes, and various supplements, our body also needs so-called trace elements for 100% functionality. The term "trace" means that our body needs it only in small quantities. We need 10 mg of zinc daily, which is 37 times less than magnesium (375 mg). It might seem we're discussing a total non-entity. However, the opposite is true. Zinc affects more than 200 biochemical reactions in our body!
The “yellow spark” that powers our body is vitamin B2 - riboflavin, (from Latin flavus “yellow”) was first isolated from milk and initially named lactoflavin. Its uniqueness was noticed by scientists due to its natural fluorescence under UV light, which helped them better understand its distribution in nature. But it wasn't just its mysterious light that attracted scientists' attention. It holds the power to transform food into life force. Riboflavin, aka vitamin B2, is not just a pretty fluorescent molecule, but it is important in cellular metabolism.
Cordyceps sinensis - this is our zombie predator. In China, it is called "in winter insects, in summer herbs." Imagine a fungus that during reproduction in summer shoots its spores (seeds), which attach to the insect's body. It gradually grows throughout and parasitizes it, devours it from the inside out, with the insect still alive, even altering its outer appearance but still foraging until it retreats underground where it dies and mummifies. The fungus can survive in it for a longer period. The fungus literally controls the host's body, growing out of its body in summer, forming slender "sticks" 5-20 cm high. This inspired the video game series Last of Us where the Cordyceps fungus turns humankind into zombies. In real life, this video game unfolds in the actual life of insects. The victims are larvae of butterflies, large ants, spiders...
