We clean up after ourselves.

Your cells run on ATP. Cordyceps contains nucleoside compounds structurally close to adenosine — the molecule at the core of your body’s energy currency — allowing them to enter cells through the same transport channels and influence how efficiently energy is produced and regulated.

Cordyceps Benefits:

• Energy Metabolism: Cordyceps nucleoside compounds interact with adenosine-dependent pathways that regulate cellular energy production. Clinical evidence suggests increased energy output and oxygen capacity in adults, with one trial showing a 10.5% increase in metabolic threshold after twelve weeks of supplementation (Chen et al., 2010). This is sustained metabolic support — not a stimulant spike followed by a crash.
  
  
• Aerobic Performance: A double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests an 11% increase in VO₂ max after three weeks of Cordyceps supplementation, alongside an 8.5% increase in ventilatory threshold — a measurable delay in lactic acid buildup during exercise. These effects appear most pronounced in active but non-elite populations. Studies on competitive cyclists at peak aerobic capacity found no significant change, which is worth knowing.
  
  
• Respiratory Health: Used for centuries to support lung function. The mechanism connects to the same nucleoside-driven energy pathways — better cellular energy production in respiratory tissue means more efficient gas exchange.
  
  
• Immune Defence: Cordyceps’ beta-glucan polysaccharides are thought to modulate immune cell activity, supporting the body’s response without overstimulation.

We supply one of the most concentrated Cordyceps extracts available, clinically dosed and third-party verified for potency. Each capsule serving contains the dry-weight equivalent of 3,600mg of Cordyceps.
