Cordyceps Perform

Energy

Studies show increases in oxygen uptake, aerobic capacity, and resistance to fatigue (especially beneficial for elderly, recovery from illness, and athletic performance). Cordyceps can naturally support energy levels. 

Sports Performance

Studies show one of the key ways cordyceps enhances energy levels is by increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells, helping to improve energy levels, and reduce fatigue. It has also been shown to reduce the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles, helping to improve exercise recovery and reduce muscle soreness.

Adaptogen

Cordyceps is an adaptogen which helps to bring balance to the body. Studies have shown participants were better able to withstand stress when they took cordyceps compared to when they didn’t.

Libido

Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to support sexual function. Several studies have looked into the effects of cordyceps on libido and sexual health suggesting it may increase levels of male sex hormones, and improve sperm quality and quantity.
