Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps militaris)

Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps militaris) is a functional mushroom categorized among adaptogens and is widely known for its performance-enhancing and energy-boosting effects. Traditionally used in Chinese medicine, Cordyceps supports respiratory health, immune function, and helps improve cellular energy by increasing ATP production and oxygen utilization.

It is especially beneficial for those facing fatigue, low stamina or endurance, or needing support with recovery and stress resilience. The best results are seen with dual-extracted Cordyceps supplements (using both water and alcohol extraction), particularly those based on Cordyceps militaris, which contains higher levels of cordycepin. For optimal absorption, take it on an empty stomach or before physical activity, and consider combining it with other adaptogens like Ashwagandha for a synergistic effect.
