Cordyceps is one of the most potent superfoods on the planet. A rare and mysterious mushroom, Cordyceps has been used throughout China, Tibet, and Nepal for its healing properties. This fascinating “zombie fungus” is known for its ability to boost energy, improve libido and increase cognitive function—giving it a reputation for anti-fatigue properties.
Cordyceps sinensis, the species used for centuries, grows on caterpillars and has become extremely expensive for those seeking its healing properties. The alternative, Cordyceps militaris, contains up to 90% more cordycepin (the active constituent) when compared with Cordyceps sinensis.
Grow your own Cordyceps militaris with 2 big advantages:
- No insects are needed to grow it – Cordyceps militaris grows in a sterile medium.
- It’s a super potent species – Cordyceps militaris produces the health-supporting compound cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine) in much higher amounts than Cordyceps sinensis.
