Cordyceps are an amazing energy-boosting mushroom due to their ability to increase ATP production through pre-cursor compounds like adenosine and cordycepin. ATP is the compounds that give energy to our cells*. This is why Cordyceps is recommended for physical performance. In TCM, Cordyceps is also used for lung problems such as asthma or even seasonal allergies*.
Cordyceps has been described as a treasure in old Chinese medical books and Tibetan medicine. With hundreds of different species, it is a parasitic fungus that attacks insects. Traditional healers have recommended the mushroom as a powerful tonic because it improves energy, appetite and stamina. The best-known species of cordyceps is Cordyceps sinensis; the most expensive mushroom in the world costing over $20,000 per kilogram, sold almost exclusively in Asia. It is a rare combination of a caterpillar and a fungus and is found at high altitudes in the Himilayan Plateau.
For many years, the Chinese were unable to cultivate this mushroom, fueling a growing demand out of a small supply. Now, with this particular mushroom, it's very important to be aware of what you're consuming because wild Cordyceps sinensis rarely makes it to the North American market, but companies still advertise Cordyceps sinensis on their products. If a cordyceps product is grown in North America, it is almost certainly mycelial seeds. A high amount of grain means a low amount of mycelium and a decrease in beta-glucans, which are the beneficial polysaccharides found in the cell wall.
Fortunately, there is one type of Cordyceps species that can be grown commercially to produce a fungus (fruit body), and that is Cordyceps militaris.
Real Mushrooms has created an organic Cordyceps militaris extract, verified for quality by third-party labs, that contains those fine beta-D-glucans, cordycepin, and NO starch.
Adults: Adults are recommended to take 1/2-1 teaspoon daily or up to 2 grams over an extended period of time or as recommended by your practitioner.
