Cordyceps - Ophiocordyceps Sinensis
Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps sinensis ) are known for their high antioxidant capacity, energizing effects and other benefits.
Due to Cordyceps increasing concentration, circulation, and energy, many people use it as a caffeine alternative or supplement. Unlike caffeine, which merely masks your fatigue, cordyceps nourishes you on a cellular level and allows for optimal performance without a crash or dependence.
Clinical studies have shown that Cordyceps are also beneficial for the liver, kidney, heart, circulation, lungs, nervous system, sexual health, immune system, along with anti-cancer, anti-oxidative, and anti-microbial properties.
Typically, the mushroom is about 3–5 cm in length and 3–8 mm in diameter. Often called the caterpillar mushroom, cordyceps are long and stringy with a dark yellow color.
