Description
Cordyceps militaris, familiarly known as cordyceps, has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine for supporting energy due to its ability to increase ‘Qi’ and regulate kidney function. Interestingly, studies have confirmed that cordyceps can protect the kidneys from toxic drugs and lower creatinine levels in cases of chronic kidney disease. More recent studies have explored cordyceps for its use in exercise performance, muscle recovery and low libido in elderly individuals.
Human clinical studies have shown that supplementation with cordyceps improves VO2 Max during intensive exercise in non-trained athletes after just 4 weeks. It is believed this benefit occurs because cordyceps increases ATP production and reduces inflammation, allowing for better exercise performance.
Animal studies have found that cordyceps may play a role in healthy aging. For example, supplementation with cordyceps has extended the lifespan of mice and fruit flies, improved memory, improved sexual function and also increased antioxidant status in aged mice. In addition, a number of animal studies have found that cordyceps’ anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions may have a positive effect on metabolic function by regulating lipid levels, improving insulin resistance and supporting healthy weight.
