Cordyceps Militaris

Cordyceps is known as the most expensive fungus on the market today. That is, the wild harvested cousin of C. militaris, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, found in the Himalayan mountain foothills and fetches over $20 000 per kilogram.

Luckily for us, commercial strains of Cordyceps militaris has been bred and developed to be cultivated commercially on a variety of grains under certain conditions that doesn’t only allow for it to be available at a lower price, but also be produced with higher levels of Cordycepin and adenosine. These two compounds are part of what makes Cordyceps so interesting, especially for athletes and people looking to overcome low libido, low energy and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Scientific studies have shown Cordyceps to be very effective at:

Improving endurance and energy levels by increasing ATP synthesis and oxygen utilization,
helping athletes perform better at explosive strength and endurance-based sports.

Cordyceps is also used as:

an aphrodisiac for both men and woman and has been shown to increase libido and fertility.

We use Cordyceps for long-lasting, sustained, adaptogenic energy that promotes a healthy immune response, endocrine function, and improved endurance.

This mushroom is also used as a natural anti-inflammatory and liver tonic.

We recommend taking this mushroom before exercise, surfing, hiking or any physical activity.

Other benefits include immuno-modulating effects, improves circulation, cardiovascular health and cognitive performance.
