Cordyceps Vigor Extract

Cordyceps militaris is grown here on a controlled substrate rather than gathered from the high, thin air of the Tibetan plateau where its wild cousin, Cordyceps sinensis, is found fused to a moth larva underground. The cultivated fruiting body is concentrated to a bright, rust-orange 10:1 extract and standardized for cordycepin, then encapsulated in a plain vegan shell with nothing else carried along for bulk. Cordyceps has long held a place in Tibetan and Chinese medicine as a support for stamina, breath, and the body's capacity for sustained exertion at altitude. Herders on the high plateau are said to have fed the wild fungus to yaks flagging on a steep climb, and to have reached for it themselves before a hard day's work in the thin mountain air. Two capsules taken before activity — a walk, a workout, a long day on your feet — rather than as a background daily habit taken without regard to the day ahead. The extract works best anticipated, not caught up to after the fact once the legs have already tired. Cordyceps is traditionally valued to support stamina and exertion; it does not treat or cure any condition and is not a substitute for medical advice.
