Cordyceps sinensis is a fascinating and highly valued medicinal fungus in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it is often referred to as “Dong Chong Xia Cao” (冬虫夏草), meaning “winter worm, summer grass.” This mushroom has been revered for centuries as a natural vitality booster, traditionally used to support stamina and longevity. Traditional Chinese herbalists believed Cordyceps could support energy, endurance, and healthy immune function, making it a prized remedy for those recovering from illness or seeking greater health support. Anecdotally, Cordyceps was often consumed by athletes and soldiers to improve physical performance and recovery, and it has even been noted in the Ben Cao Cong Xin written in 1757.

Traditional and Scientific Uses:

• Supports energy and endurance
• Support athletic performance
• Promotes healthy immune function

Study Overview:

A double-blind study of Twenty (20) individuals, male and female, age 50–75 years published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements found that supplementation with Cordyceps can support exercise performance and enhance recovery, demonstrating its potential to support both athletic and everyday physical activities. These findings support the belief, long held in China, that Cordyceps sinensis has the potential to improve exercise capacity and resistance to fatigue.
