2. WHAT IS CORDYCEPS?
Cordyceps spp. mushrooms, classified
into the Ascomycota group, have a long
tradition of use as a natural agent in
Asian ethnomedicine because of their
adaptogenic and tonic effects and their
ability to reduce fatigue and stimulate
the immune system in humans.

3. ACTIVE CONSTITUENT IN CORDYCEPS
The constituents of medicinal
mushroom Cordyceps militaris,
especially the anti-cancer agent
cordycepin
(3′-deoxyadenosine), are
expected to play evolutionary
roles in the pharmacognosy
sector in future.

6. BENEFITS OF CORDYCEPS FOR
ATHLETES
1. INCREASE VO2 MAX
VO2 max is defined as the
maximum rate of oxygen
consumption measured
during incremental exercise
(i.e. exercise of increasing
intensity). Used as a
method to determine one’s
fitness level. It can be
increased using cordyceps
consumption.

7. 2. FATIGUE RESISTANCE
Cordyceps
militaris induces
fatigue recovery via
activating AMPK and
AKT/mTOR pathways
and regulating serum
hormone level.

8. 3. BOOSTS ATP DURING EXERCISE
Cordyceps are thought
to increase the body's
production of the molecule
adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), which is essential for
delivering energy to the
muscles. This may improve
the way your body uses
oxygen, especially during
exercise

9. HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU TAKE?
Most athletes start around
1 gram of Cordyceps per
day—either in a single
dose or multiple doses
with meals—but many will
increase that dose to 2-3
grams depending on
weight, age, and activity
level.

10. CORDYCEPS AS A PRE-WORKOUT
Along with their positive
impact on VO2 max,
fatigue resistance, and ATP
production, Cordyceps
offer a number of other
potential health benefits
including use as an anti-
inflammatory supplement
and free radical-fighting
antioxidant, both of which
would be quite helpful
before a workout.

11. A good idea is to try a Cordyceps mushroom elixir for
a pre-workout boost of energy that will last even after
you’ve ended your sweat session.
