1. How our Cordyceps is different?

Unlike many products on the market, we specify the exact active compounds verified by research to provide the health benefits Cordyceps is known for. We don't just sell mushrooms; we provide lab-verified potency that targets your metabolic and respiratory systems.

2. Ingredients

Our Cordyceps is a dual extracted formula derived from Cordyceps Militaris. We utilize a sophisticated extraction process to ensure that essential compounds of the fruiting body  are captured, providing the full therapeutic spectrum of this performance-enhancing mushroom.

3. Active Compounds

• Cordycepin (1%): The primary compound researched for its significant impact on ATP (cellular energy) production and its ability to improve the body's oxygen uptake.
• Beta-Glucans (20%): Essential secondary compounds that provide robust immune system support and maintain healthy inflammatory responses.

4. Key Benefits

• ATP & Cellular Energy Production: Stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's primary energy currency, leading to increased stamina and reduced physical fatigue.
• Improved Oxygen Utilization: Traditionally used to tonify the Lungs, Cordyceps improves how efficiently the body uses oxygen during exercise and recovery.
• Adrenal & Kidney Support: Acts as a powerful adaptogen to support the "Kidney Qi" (in TCM), helping the body manage stress and supporting reproductive and hormonal health.
• Athletic Performance & Recovery: Enhances physical endurance and shortens recovery times by assisting the body in clearing metabolic waste after high-intensity activity.
• Immune System Resilience: High levels of Beta-Glucans ensure your immune defenses remain vigilant and balanced, even during periods of heavy physical or mental exertion.

5. Why our extracts come in capsules

• Potency Protection: Mushrooms are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture and clump. While clumping doesn't affect quality, it is unappealing. To avoid using fillers like maltodextrin, we use a silica sachet and encapsulate the powder to keep it pure and dry.
• Dosage Precision: Capsules ensure a clear, consistent dose. Taking "2 capsules" is far more accurate than measuring "half a teaspoon."

6. Recommended Dosage

• Baseline Support: 2 capsules per day.
• Enhanced Support: For those aged 45+, individuals with a higher BMI, or those with specific health concerns, a dose of 3–4 capsules is recommended.
• As these extracts are functional foods, you cannot "overdose" in the traditional sense; however, under-dosing may prevent you from reaching the critical threshold needed for your desired results.​

7. How to use

• Timing: For maximum absorption, take on an empty stomach 1–2 hours before or after a meal.
• The Tonic Method: We recommend opening the capsules and mixing the contents into warm water. This aids digestion and allows the process to begin the moment the extract hits your palate.
• The Capsule Method: Swallowing the capsules is perfectly effective. We suggest drinking 1–2 glasses of warm water with them to further assist digestion.
