Cordyceps

Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) is the energy mushroom, a bright orange fungus with a strange history. Wild cordyceps grows from high-altitude insect larvae, and Tibetan and Chinese traditional practice prized it for stamina and endurance, famously among herders working thin mountain air.

We use cultivated Cordyceps militaris, grown without insects, which is both the ethical choice and the consistent one. It carries the same active compound, cordycepin, that the tradition and the research both point to, and cultivation lets us standardize what wild harvest never could.

Its theme is energy and physical performance. Cordyceps is studied for supporting oxygen use and endurance, which is why it is the drive in a formula otherwise built around the mind. Focus is better with fuel behind it.

In the blend, cordyceps is the energy anchor, the physical counterpart to lion's mane's focus and reishi's calm. Together the three cover mind, mood, and stamina without a stimulant among them.

It is precision dosed into both the capsule and the gummy, and every batch is third-party tested for identity, potency, and contaminants before it ships.

Cordyceps rounds out Functional Mushroom Capsules and Functional Mushroom Gummies, with lion's mane and reishi. Meet every active on the actives page.
