Cordyceps Energy Supplement

Cordyceps is often referred to as the “Olympic mushroom,” and has traditionally been used to help sustain energy, endurance, and vitality. More recently, it has also gained popularity for its cognitive and neuroprotective benefits. It has been studied for its ability to help enhance physical performance and athletic recovery due to the presence of adenosine and cordycepin. These have been found to help increase the body’s natural production of ATP, the energy-carrying molecule in our cells.

Cordyceps has been shown to support:
~ Energy levels
Cordyceps help to increase the body’s production of the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), this is essential for delivering energy to the muscles.
~ Cognitive performance
Research has shown that increased oxygen uptake in the brain increases blood flow to brain cells and helps fight mental fatigue.
~ Athletic endurance
Taking Cordyceps helps to increase ATP production in the liver, this is the main energy source of the cells, and improves glucose metabolism. The result stimulates the body, increases strength and delays muscle exhaustion.
~ Adrenal function
Cordyceps is an adaptogen that helps support the adrenal glands. Adaptogens are non-toxic plants that help your body adapt to the stresses of every day life.
~ A healthy libido
Cordyceps offers a natural and powerful alternative to libido-enhancing pharmaceutical drugs, proven in many studies and used by various cultures worldwide to treat male impotence, improve erectile function, sperm production and stamina, and increase sexual desire in both men and women.
~ Healthy blood sugar levels
Cordyceps militaris extracts displayed a significant reduction in blood glucose levels by promoting glucose metabolism and strongly suppressed total cholesterol and triglycerides concentration in serum.
~ Cardiovascular health
Cordyceps may benefit heart health by helping prevent arrhythmias and lowering levels of triglycerides and “bad” LDL cholesterol.
~ Blood Pressure health
Many of these benefits are attributed to cordycepin, which is similar in molecular composition to adenosine. Like adenosine, cordycepin appears able to relax blood vessels, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.

John Hopkins Research Center have done extensive research on Cordycepin (the active ingredient in Cordyceps) and a preparation from Cordyceps militaris inhibit malignant transformation and proliferation by decreasing EGFR and IL-17RA signaling in a murine oral cancer model
