Cordyceps Capsules are organic Cordyceps militaris extract with naturally occurring cordycepin and adenosine. 2 capsules a day support stamina, endurance and steady energy, with no caffeine.
Energy comes down to how well your cells make and use fuel. When they use oxygen more efficiently, stairs feel easier, workouts last longer and the afternoon slump shows up later.
What are cordyceps capsules?
Cordyceps is a functional mushroom used in Tibetan and Chinese medicine for stamina. Cordyceps capsules put a measured dose of its extract into a capsule you take with water.
Ours use Cordyceps militaris, which contains cordycepin and adenosine. Researchers study both for their role in ATP, the molecule your cells run on.
Cordyceps militaris vs sinensis
- Cordyceps militaris: Cultivated in controlled conditions, offering more consistent potency from batch to batch. It is a rich source of cordycepin and is generally more affordable.
- Cordyceps sinensis: Traditionally sourced from the wild in the high Himalayas. Its potency can vary and may be difficult to verify. It generally contains lower cordycepin levels and can cost lakhs per kilo.
If a cheap product claims to be wild Cordyceps sinensis, treat that as a warning.
