Cordyceps

Primary Cordyceps Mushroom Benefits: Improves lung capacity and increases energy. The Cordyceps mushroom is an incredible energy-boosting fungi because of its ability to increase Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)* production through pre-cursor compounds like adenosine and cordycepin. ATP is the compound that gives our cells energy. This is why Cordyceps is recommended when it comes to physical performance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine Cordyceps is also used for lung-related issues like asthma or even seasonal allergies.

*Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes.

Historical and Medical Use
