Cordyceps ( Cordyceps sinensis ) is a medicinal mushroom, also known as Chinese caterpillar fungus. In China, it is valued primarily for its energizing effect. It is also considered a natural aphrodisiac.

Cordyceps is a parasitic fungus that attacks caterpillars. It occurs naturally in the high plateaus of the Himalayas.

However, Cordyceps is now grown on nutrient media without caterpillars. This is not only less disgusting, but also makes it much more affordable.

The effects of Cordyceps are currently being scientifically investigated.

Energy and concentration

In traditional Chinese medicine, Cordyceps has been used for many years to increase energy. The mushroom is said to make you feel more alert, fitter, more energetic and to be able to concentrate better.

In mice, Cordyceps can actually increase energy production (ATP) in cells. [1] However, this has yet to be confirmed in humans.

Blood circulation

Cordyceps is also said to be able to promote blood circulation. Studies suggest that the mushroom may have a vasodilating effect by relaxing the smooth muscles of the vessel walls. [2]

Antioxidant effect

In cell culture, Cordyceps can increase the activity of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme. [3] This is an endogenous enzyme that has a strong antioxidant effect by neutralizing free radicals. It remains to be shown to what extent this is relevant for humans.

Antidepressant effect

Cordyceps has a high tryptophan content. Tryptophan is an amino acid that serves as a building block for the production of the happiness hormone serotonin. This could be an explanation for the mood-enhancing and antidepressant effects that the mushroom is said to have.

Immune strengthening

In traditional Chinese medicine, Cordyceps is also said to have an immune-boosting effect .

In fact, there is evidence that Cordyceps may increase the activity of certain immune cells and the production of antibodies. [4]

detoxification

Cordyceps is also said to be able to stimulate detoxification via the liver and kidneys, presumably by protecting these organs from oxidative stress.

Testosterone increase

In China, Cordyceps is used as an aphrodisiac and sexual enhancer. Studies suggest that the medicinal mushroom could stimulate the testicles to produce testosterone. [5]

Buy Cordyceps

When it comes to medicinal mushrooms, you have to pay attention to quality. This applies to food supplements in general, of course, but especially here.

Wild cordyceps, for example, is often contaminated with bacteria. Heavy metal contamination is also a common problem. In addition, many products on the market either do not contain cordyceps or are heavily diluted.

That's why you should definitely pay attention to high quality. This also includes a good price-performance ratio. The cheapest product on the market most likely doesn't deliver what it promises.
