Meet the magical Cordyceps mushroom! Whether you are scaling a mountain or chasing after your kids, Cordyceps will be your best friend on the journey. But why? How exactly will it help you to “keep charging”? Let’s take a dive further.
Cordyceps militaris is a bright orange fungi that strangely resembles a Cheeto. It is a well known to boost athletic performance, decrease inflammation, regulate immune function and more. This magical orange fungi was virtually unknown until it gained worldwide attention in 1993 after the Chinese women's track team shattered five world records. The runners attributed their success to incorporating a Cordyceps supplement into their training routine which intrigued athletes and scientist around the world. Numerous studies have been performed since then. We will focus on the scientific benefits specifically for athletic performance, including:
-Enhancing athletic performance by increasing endurance, stamina, and oxygen uptake
-Improving and enhancing respiratory function
-Optimizing immunity
Whether you are an athlete or just trying to keep up with your toddler, the research on Cordyceps and energy (ATP) is worth reading. ATP is a high-energy molecule which is present in every cell and is essential for body functions such as muscle contraction, metabolism, and cell growth. When we are imbalanced from stress, nutrition deficiencies, hormone disorders, or lack of sleep, ATP levels can be depleted at a faster rate than they can be replenished. Our energy levels drop and fatigue sets in. Cordyceps acts like a shot of caffeine by increasing ATP levels and gives you a much-needed energy boost. And unlike caffeine, which wears off shortly, the effects of cordyceps are longer-lasting, which means you can enjoy a constant state of vitality.
In addition to ATP/energy, athletic performance can be enhanced with Cordyceps supplementation due to its unique ability to improve respiratory function. Yep, this little orange mushroom has been shown to increase oxygen uptake in the lungs and even assist with asthma related issues by decreasing inflammation. Specifically, this mushroom can prevent or block inflammation and reduce oxidative stress by regulating specific genes and proteins throughout the body.
This prized mushroom is also a phenomenal immunity regulator. It is known as a bidirectional modulator because it either stimulates or suppresses immune responses depending on what the body needs. Research has shown it is able to increase production of nitric oxide, which is toxic to bacteria, stimulate phagocytosis—the engulfing and destruction of pathogens and enhance natural killer (NK) cell activity to name a few.
