Often dubbed the “energy mushroom,” Cordyceps has found its way into the routines of those looking to invigorate their day naturally. Imagine a mushroom that has captured the interest of athletes and adventurers alike, all seeking a vibrant alternative to conventional energy sources.

Whether you’re powering through a workout or tackling a busy day, Cordyceps invites you to discover its potential as a fun and intriguing addition to your wellness journey.

EASY AS A-T-P

Research has suggested that Cordyceps may influence the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body's primary energy unit. Think of ATP as your body's batteries; the more charged they are, the longer you can perform activities. ATP is primarily produced in the mitochondria, which are the energy factories inside your cells.

Studies indicate that Cordyceps contains adenosine, a key component in ATP production. Additionally, certain research has looked into how Cordyceps might relate to immune support and energy levels. However, we make no health claims and further research is still required to fully understand Cordyceps mushroom.

RESEARCH

This study observed that Cordyceps militaris supplementation improved VO2 max and exercise tolerance, likely due to its influence on ATP production and overall energy metabolism, which enhances endurance and performance in high-intensity exercise (Hirsch et al., 2017).

Cordycepin from Cordyceps militaris was found to significantly inhibit NO production and directly suppress the kinase activity of AKT by interacting with its ATP binding site. This suggests cordycepin's role in modulating ATP-dependent pathways to exert anti-inflammatory effects (Yoon et al., 2015).

After three weeks of supplementation with a mushroom blend containing Cordyceps militaris, there was a significant improvement in VO2 max and time to exhaustion during high-intensity exercise, suggesting enhanced exercise tolerance (Hirsch et al., 2017).

In a study involving healthy elderly volunteers, supplementation with Cordyceps sinensis (Cs-4) for six weeks significantly increased VO2 max and anaerobic threshold, indicating improved aerobic capacity and respiratory function (Yi et al., 2004).

Mushroom Protocol

For the best results from Cordyceps mushroom, we suggest taking it consistently for four months. This lets its active ingredients build up in your system, offering optimal benefits.

After this period, take a two-week break before starting a new cycle. For enhanced effects, consider combining it with other functional mushrooms to experience a synergistic benefit.

FAQ

What is Cordyceps Mushroom Powder and its main benefits?

Cordyceps Mushroom Powder is a supplement derived from the Cordyceps sinensis mushroom.

Known for enhancing physical performance, reducing fatigue, and boosting immunity, Cordyceps is widely used for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body manage stress and increase vitality.

What does the 10:1 extract ratio mean?

The 10:1 ratio signifies that 1 kg of dried Cordyceps mushrooms is used to produce 100 g of concentrated extract. This ensures a potent and effective dose in a smaller quantity.

What part of the mushroom was the extract prepared from?

We only use the fruiting bodies of the mushroom. This is due to the desire to obtain a pure mushroom extract. When dealing with mycelium-based supplements, unfortunately it may turn out that up to 60-70% of such an extract will be starch instead of mushroom without the health-promoting effects attributed to mushrooms.

This is due to the inability to separate the mycelium from the medium on which it grew. Once the fungus has colonised the medium, the whole thing is ground up and subjected to extraction processes. This is a cheap and quick way of growing mushrooms without bringing them to the fruiting stage.

How many polysaccharides does the extract contain?

Our mushroom extracts are not standardised to a specific amount of polysaccharides, as this is not an indicator of the quality of the extract.

Mushroom-based products contain many types of polysaccharides (polysaccharides), such as chitin, alpha glucans or beta glucans.

Alpha glucans are compounds that do not have the properties attributed to fungi. They are usually derived from the starchy medium on which the fungus grows. They are used in mycelium products or mushroom biomass, which is a mixture of mycelium and fruiting bodies.

Active substances are also polysaccharides, but in a different configuration - Beta-D-glucans 1-3 and 1-6. These are found in the fruiting bodies of mushrooms.

For more on beta-glucan and a survey of our mushrooms, see the article:

What is the mushroom extraction process like?

Dried mushroom fruiting bodies are ground to a fine dust and then extracted using hot water and alcohol.

The water dissolves the cell walls of the mushrooms, which are made of chitin, and extracts compounds such as beta glucans (biologically active polysaccharides in mushrooms). Since we do not have an enzyme that can effectively digest chitin - hot water extraction is fundamental to the bioavailability of fungal preparations. Alcohol, on the other hand, allows the extraction of water-insoluble compounds such as triterpenes.

Once the extract has been concentrated, spray drying follows, leaving a final dry extract. Spray drying is the optimum dehydration process for wet extracts - keeping nutrient losses to a minimum.

What distinguishes an extract from a ground mushroom?

Extraction is the optimal way of processing mushrooms to extract the active substances. These are encapsulated in the cell walls of the mushrooms, which are made up of chitin.

We do not have an enzyme that is able to digest chitin and for this reason mushrooms must be subjected to extraction processes. Extraction makes the raw material fully assimilable by our body.

What is the best time to take mushroom supplements?

Lion's mane and Cordyceps, as mushrooms support alertness and increase energy levels, are best taken in the first part of the day or before a workout. If you're adding mushrooms to your coffee, it's a good idea to limit your coffee intake to between 13:00 and 14:00. This will reduce the negative effects of caffeine on sleep quality. A good alternative to coffee is to drink mushrooms in tea.

Reishi, due to its tonic and calming properties on the nervous system, is worth taking in the evening, preferably with green tea or cocoa.
In the case of Chaga mushrooms, the time of consumption does not matter.

What are the active compounds in Cordyceps Mushroom Powder?

Cordyceps Mushroom Powder is a powerhouse of bioactive compounds that deliver a range of health benefits. At the forefront is cordycepin, known for its anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. This compound interferes with RNA synthesis, helping to inhibit cancer cell growth and reduce inflammation. Studies have demonstrated cordycepin's effectiveness in inhibiting tumor growth and modulating immune responses (Prasain, 2013).

Adenosine enhances cardiovascular health by promoting vasodilation and improving blood flow, while also offering neuroprotective benefits. Research supports adenosine's role in cardiovascular health and neuroprotection, highlighting its vasodilatory and antioxidant properties (Lan et al., 2016).

Polysaccharides play a crucial role in stimulating the immune system, boosting the activity of macrophages, natural killer cells, and T lymphocytes. They also provide strong antioxidant protection, safeguarding cells from oxidative stress. These immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects of polysaccharides are well-documented in scientific literature (Xiao et al., 2012).

Sterols, particularly ergosterol, contribute anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-modulating effects, further bolstering overall health. The presence of ergosterol in Cordyceps and its health benefits have been validated in various studies (Maľučká et al., 2022).

Cordycepic Acid (D-Mannitol) supports kidney function and offers additional antioxidant protection. Research indicates that D-Mannitol in Cordyceps is beneficial for kidney health and oxidative stress reduction (Xiao et al., 2009).

What role does Cordyceps play in regulating blood sugar levels, and what are the implications for diabetes management?

Cordyceps sinensis helps regulate blood sugar levels through several mechanisms. It enhances insulin sensitivity by improving the function of insulin receptors, thus facilitating glucose uptake by cells. Research shows that Cordyceps improves whole-body insulin sensitivity and supports glucose metabolism, indicating its potential in diabetes management (Balon et al., 2002).

Cordyceps also inhibits the activity of enzymes like alpha-glucosidase, which slows down carbohydrate digestion and reduces postprandial blood glucose spikes. Studies demonstrate that Cordyceps extracts effectively inhibit alpha-glucosidase activity, leading to better blood sugar control (Liu et al., 2016).

Additionally, its antioxidant properties protect pancreatic β-cells from oxidative stress-induced damage, thereby supporting insulin production. Cordyceps has been found to protect β-cells from oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress, reducing apoptosis and enhancing insulin secretion (Baiyi Yan et al., 2023).

These effects make Cordyceps a promising adjunctive therapy for diabetes management, helping to maintain stable blood glucose levels and prevent complications associated with diabetes.

How does Cordyceps enhance ATP production, and why is this important for athletic performance?
