Cordyceps sinensis
Ophiocordyceps sinensis
Lifts mitochondrial ATP and oxygen use; meta-analyzed human trials show gains in endurance and aerobic capacity.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
Cordyceps raises the energy currency muscles spend, so weariness recedes and the body keeps going through a walk, a climb, a long afternoon.
Raised 17-beta-estradiol, StAR and aromatase in human granulosa-lutein cells, dose- and time-dependent.
Evening fatigue is often an empty tank rather than a tired mind. Cordyceps restores cellular ATP output, and the body carries more reserve into the day.
The Himalayan caterpillar fungus favors the kidney: its polysaccharides and nucleosides help the filter sort waste from protein with a steadier hand.
The fungus that grew on Himalayan caterpillars at altitude, where air is thin — it helps the lungs pull in oxygen and push breath out with less labor.
Lifts the cell's ATP output and sharpens its use of oxygen, so long days cost the body less.
Pooled clinical evidence in kidney dysfunction; a fermented form of the fungus is an approved medicine.
