7 Reasons Why Cordyceps Mushroom is the Performance and Energy Mushroom

COrdyceps as a performance and energy booster

Cordyceps mushroom, also known as the ‘performance’ or ‘energy’ mushroom, is an incredible superfood and tonic herb that has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine and has more recently made a boom with athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

The special blend of unique compounds found in Cordyceps make it a powerful source of energy and a harness-point for performance. Studies have shown that it can reduce fatigue, boost athletic performance, and even improve concentration.

At Mush Mush, we love Cordyceps for boosting performance and energy levels. These hardy warriors contain essential nutrients, including enzymes, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and more that work together to naturally boost stamina and endurance.

They are also high in polysaccharides which have been found to help increase oxygen uptake, leading to improved energy levels.

Check out our list of 7 reasons why Cordyceps mushroom is the mushroom for performance and energy!

1. Cordyceps may help reduce inflammation and improve overall health.

An important part of energy conservation is the prevention of excess tension and strain within
the body. The antioxidants contained in cordyceps mushrooms work to protect against oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, two important factors for maintaining peak physical performance. Daily consumption of cordyceps can also help to rid your body of damaging free radicals that can lead to cellular damage and premature aging.

2. Cordyceps mushrooms promote focus and mental clarity, and help reduce stress and fatigue.

By helping your body adapt better to stressors, cordyceps mushrooms can assist you in staying more focused and productive throughout the day. Their calming effects can also make them an ideal supplement to fall asleep with in a night-time beverage. The better rested and more focused you are, the higher your performance output!

3. Consuming cordyceps can increase athletic performance and boosting energy levels. 

Cordyceps are thought to increase the body’s production of the molecule adenosine triphosphate (also known as ATP), which is essential for delivering energy to the muscles. This ATP kick improves the way your body uses oxygen and allows you to harness your full potential, especially during busy periods of the day.

4. Cordyceps may help your body to better cope with physical and emotional stressors. 

Cordyceps performance-enhancing compound tonic contains nitric oxide boosting properties which work to speed up the breakdown of stress hormones, improving the body’s ability to return to homeostasis.
Less stress = more energy!

5. Cordyceps can replace your coffee! 

The perfect natural energy supplement, cordyceps mushroom has been found to bind to adenosine receptors in the same way as caffeine – the only difference is the lack of adrenal taxing effects of caffeine, improving energy and fighting fatigue.

6. Studies have shown that cordyceps can help to improve cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, and learning. 

Cordyceps polypeptide may improve learning and memory by scavenging oxygen free radicals, preventing oxidative damage, and protecting the nervous system. Improved cognitive function allows you to function on a higher neurocognitive output, giving you better overall performance.

7. Cordyceps also contain compounds that boost the immune system by helping to fight against viruses and bacteria. 

With its strong immuno-regulating effects and stimulating properties, Cordyceps has established powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activity.

Cordyceps are incredibly high in polysaccharides and beta-glucans that help our body resist a wide range of pathogenic bacteria, bad fungi and sickness-inducing viruses.
Cordyceps mushrooms are also a great option for stacking as they are gentle on the system and can be very easily combined with other supplements to create a powerful blend. You will find Cordyceps in our best seller MultiMush and our ‘energy & Pre-workout’ Mush Perform blends which are both ideal for boosting energy levels while still providing the body with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
