Cordyceps militaris

Cordyceps militaris is a highly valued medicinal mushroom known for its energy-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and immune-enhancing properties. Unlike its wild counterpart Cordyceps sinensis, which grows on insect larvae, C. militaris is cultivated on plant-based substrates, making it more accessible and sustainable.

Rich in cordycepin and adenosine, this mushroom is known to enhance athletic performance, improve oxygen uptake, and support lung and kidney health. It has been traditionally used in Chinese and Tibetan medicine to combat fatigue, improve stamina, and support overall vitality.

Cordyceps militaris is commonly consumed as a tea, extract, powder, or supplement, often used by athletes and individuals looking to boost endurance and reduce stress. Modern research also explores its potential in anti-aging and metabolic health.
