Cordyceps Mushroom’s primary benefit is its purposed ability to increase the body’s production of the molecule Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the primary carrier of energy in cells and assists in the way your body uses oxygen, especially during exercise. Increased and improved oxygen uptake in the body can improve energy and stamina, boost performance and reduce fatigue.
Cordyceps Mushrooms are adaptogens, which are non-toxic plants marked for their ability to assist the body in resisting physical and chemical stressors. Adaptogens work on a molecular level, influencing the regulation of 3 key areas - the hypothalamic, pituitary, and adrenal glands, which are all key players in the way the body responds to and recovers from stress. Adaptogens have the ability to stimulate the body’s stress protection response and assist in recovery from stress, to a state of homeostasis.
Polysaccharides in Cordyceps Mushrooms provide the primary benefit of delivering potent antioxidants to the body. Antioxidants are molecules that help to fight free radicals within the body which in excess will lead to oxidative stress. Prolonged oxidative stress can cause damage to cells in the body as well as DNA. This can cause premature ageing and serious illness.
