Cordyceps

Medicinal mushroom supporting oxygen utilisation and athletic endurance

We rank Cordyceps by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Cordyceps is a type of medicinal mushroom. These fungi are known for their ability to support how the body uses oxygen and improve athletic endurance.

Why it's used

It is primarily used by people looking to boost their physical performance. By improving oxygen utilisation, which is how efficiently the body uses the oxygen it takes in, it helps the body sustain activity for longer periods.

How it's made

To create the supplement, the fungi are grown in controlled environments, often on a grain base. Once grown, the mushrooms are harvested and dried before being ground into a concentrated powder. This powder is then put into capsules or sold as a raw powder for mixing.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the cultivation of medicinal mushrooms is more complex and time-consuming than producing simple vitamins, requiring specific environmental controls to ensure quality.
