Boosts Energy & Stamina
Cordyceps has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to fight fatigue and restore energy. Modern research shows it may enhance the production of ATP—the molecule that powers our cells—leading to improved oxygen use and endurance. In a 2024 placebo-controlled trial, adults who took Cordyceps before high-intensity training experienced reduced fatigue and faster recovery compared to those taking a placebo (Zhao et al., J. Nutr. Sci., 2024).
Supports Healthy Libido & Vitality
Cordyceps is traditionally known as a libido enhancer. Clinical studies have found that Cordyceps supplementation can improve sexual function and desire, likely due to its effects on testosterone and circulation (Nakamura et al., Asian J. Androl., 2010; Liu et al., Phytother. Res., 2015).
Supports Respiratory Health
Cordyceps has shown promise for lung health. A 2022 study found that people with mild to moderate asthma who took Cordyceps extract daily experienced significant improvements in lung function and fewer respiratory symptoms (Lee et al., Front. Pharmacol., 2022).
Strengthens Immune Defenses
Cordyceps helps regulate immune responses by stimulating macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells. Its main compound, cordycepin, has been shown to enhance cytokine production and immune activity (Zhou et al., J. Ethnopharmacol., 2018).
Anti-Inflammatory & Antioxidant Effects
Cordyceps is rich in antioxidants and known to reduce oxidative stress—a key factor in aging and chronic disease. Studies also show it can block inflammatory molecules like TNF-α and IL-1β, supporting its use in conditions such as arthritis, asthma, and neurodegenerative diseases (Chen et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci., 2016).
