The polysaccharide component obtained from the fruiting bodies of C. militaris was shown to have immunostimulatory potential (Lee & Hong 2011), which was demonstrated through the stimulation of macrophages. Also, the cordycepin-rich extract of C. militaris has immunostimulatory effects on murine macrophages (Shweta et al. 2023).
