Benefits of Cordyceps, All Backed by Science
Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi that grows on the larvae of insects.
When these fungi attack their host, they replace its tissue and sprout long, slender stems that grow outside the host’s body.
The remains of the insect and fungi have been hand-collected, dried and used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries to treat fatigue, sickness, kidney disease and low sex drive.
Supplements and products containing Cordyceps extract have become increasingly popular due to their many purported health benefits.
Of the more than 400 species of Cordyceps discovered, two have become the focus of health research: Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris.
This article highlights 6 potential benefits of Cordyceps, based on science.
May Boost Exercise Performance
Cordyceps are thought to increase the body’s production of the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for delivering energy to the muscles.
This may improve the way your body uses oxygen, especially during exercise.
In one study, researchers tested their effects on exercise capacity in 30 healthy older adults using a stationary bike. Participants received either 3 grams per day of a synthetic strain of Cordyceps called CS-4 or a placebo pill for six weeks.
By the end of the study, VO2 max had increased by 7% in participants who had taken CS-4, while participants given the placebo pill.
VO2 max is a measurement used to determine fitness level.
In a similar study, 20 healthy older adults received either 1 gram of CS-4 or a placebo pill for 12 weeks.
While researchers found no change in VO2 max in either group, participants given CS-4 improved other measures of exercise performance.
One study also tested the effects of a Cordyceps-containing mushroom blend on exercise performance in younger adults.
After three weeks, participants’ VO2 max had increased by 11%, compared to a placebo.
Anti-Aging Properties
The elderly have traditionally used Cordyceps to reduce fatigue and boost strength and sex drive.
Researchers believe their antioxidant content may explain their anti-aging potential.
Several studies have found that Cordyceps increase antioxidants helping improve memory and sexual function.
Antioxidants are molecules that fight cell damage by neutralizing free radicals, which can otherwise contribute to disease and aging).
One study found that Cordyceps lived several months longer than mice given a placebo.
Another study found that Cordyceps extended the lives of fruit flies, further supporting the belief that they have anti-aging benefits.
Potential Anti-Tumor Effects
Cordyceps’ potential to slow the growth of tumors has generated significant interest in recent years.
Researchers believe the fungi may exert anti-tumor effects in several ways.
In test-tube studies, Cordyceps have been shown to inhibit the growth of many types of human cancer cells, including lung, colon, skin and liver cancers.
Studies also shown that Cordyceps have anti-tumor effects on lymphoma, melanoma and lung cancer.
Cordyceps may also reverse the side effects associated with many forms of cancer therapy. One of these side effects is leukopenia.
Not to be confused with the cancer leukemia, leukopenia is a condition in which the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) decreases, lowering the body’s defenses and increasing the risk of infection.
One study tested the effects of Cordyceps that developed leukopenia after radiation and treatments with Taxol, a common chemotherapy drug.
Interestingly, Cordyceps reversed the leukopenia. These results suggest the fungi may help reduce complications associated with some cancer treatments.
May Help Manage Type 2 Diabetes
Cordyceps contain a special type of sugar that may help treat diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease in which the body either does not produce or respond to the hormone insulin, which normally transports the sugar glucose into your cells for energy.
When your body does not produce enough insulin or respond well to it, glucose cannot enter the cells, so it stays in the blood. Over time, having too much glucose in the blood can cause serious health problems.
Therefore, it’s important for people with diabetes to make sure their blood sugar levels are well controlled.
Interestingly, Cordyceps may keep blood sugar levels within a healthy range by mimicking the action of insulin.
In several studies in diabetic Cordyceps have been shown to decrease blood sugar levels.
Some evidence suggests that they may also protect against kidney disease, a common complication of diabetes.
In a review of 22 studies including 1,746 people with chronic kidney disease, those who took Cordyceps supplements experienced improved kidney function.
Possible Benefits for Heart Health
As research emerges on the effects of Cordyceps on heart health, the benefits of the fungi are becoming increasingly apparent.
In fact, Cordyceps are approved in China for the treatment of arrhythmia, a condition in which the heartbeat is too slow, too fast or irregular.
A study found that Cordyceps significantly reduced heart injuries with chronic kidney disease. Injuries to the heart from chronic kidney disease are thought to increase the risk of heart failure, so reducing these injuries may help avoid this outcome.
The researchers attributed these findings to the adenosine content of Cordyceps. Adenosine is a naturally occurring compound that has heart-protective effects.
Cordyceps may also have a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels.
Research has shown that Cordyceps decrease “bad” LDL cholesterol.
LDL can raise your risk of heart disease by leading to the buildup of cholesterol in your arteries.
Similarly, Cordyceps have been shown to decrease triglyceride levels.
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. High levels are linked to a greater risk of heart disease.
May Help Fight Inflammation
Cordyceps is said to help fight inflammation in the body.
Although some inflammation is good, too much can lead to diseases like heart disease and cancer.
Research has shown that when human cells are exposed to Cordyceps, special proteins that increase inflammation in the body become suppressed.
Thanks to these potential effects, researchers believe Cordyceps may serve as a useful anti-inflammatory supplement or drug.
In fact, Cordyceps have been shown to reduce inflammation in the airways, making them a potential therapy for asthma. However, the fungi appear to be less effective than commonly prescribed drugs used to provide relief for inflamed areas of the body.
Cordyceps may also have topical uses. One study found it reduced skin inflammation when applied topically, further demonstrating its anti-inflammatory properties.
Side Effects and Safety
A long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests they are nontoxic.
In fact, the Chinese government approved Cordyceps CS-4 for use in hospitals and recognizes it as a safe, natural drug
Dosage:
-
1-3g daily with a minimum half an hour interval after eating; stir in about 1dcl of water and drink (1 level teaspoon = 2g of powder)
-
we recommend using it 5 days a week and skipping it for 2 days
-
take on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before a meal or 60 minutes after a meal)
-
we recommend increasing your vitamin C intake which increases the absorption of active substances when using medicinal mushrooms. For example, in the form of a Malpighia glabra extract.

I’ve never tried cordyceps powder, but I this is a good first experience. I only use it once a day with eggs, while the bag says three times a day. I don’t like that there is not much research on the effects of the powder, but I’ve reduced the serving size to compensate so I feel that is a good compromise. The powder smells pretty good so it add some flavor to the food. I have taken it with water a couple times and it mixes really well, so a shake would be no problem. The powder is very fine, so be careful when adding to drinks or food, otherwise it will go all over.

911healty is the second brand of cordyceps I have tried & I’m in love with their product! I use 1/2-1 teaspoon of cordyceps every morning about 30-60 minutes before a hard workout. I do fasted workouts so many other products caused stomach issues. But not these cordyceps! I get a nice steady, feel-good energy that lasts all morning. Its a nice way to wake up & get some extra motivation before and during a workout. It will not give you the jitters or a crash either. I will say if you are looking for a “pre-workout” supplement & want a hard punch this is not the product for you. I, personally, hate “pre-workout” supplements with a passion. These mushrooms are an all natural way to promote health, blood flow, & energy.I mix the 1/2-1 teaspoon of cordyceps with 4oz of hot water. I also add a teaspoon of cacao & a couple of drops of stevia(which I’m slowly cutting back on). This just makes it a little sweeter. My husband drinks it straight up so its all about personal preference.

Love this product. I mix it with other dried mushroom powders, cacao, turmeric, cinnamon, Himalayan sea salt, chai powder, and my goodness, it makes the best warm morning beverage.

this is nice stuff,,easy to take,, i take it because i read such good things about this & other mushrooms,,
J. Elwood –
Awesome supplement! High quality for sure. Like the way the company is going about making their products.I’m someone who has tried tons and tons of things to help with increasing natural energy and I can definitely say that this and black Maca (from the Maca team) are my favorites. Both blend well together in a smoothie (2 bananas, some frozen berries, some OJ, a splash of oat milk, fresh spinach, and BAM! What a dank way to start the day)I’m an avid climber and practice yoga regularly plus lead a busy life so I need things to keep me in the zone. This stuff will be a new staple. Definitely reordering.And for those who are looking for a caffeine high you need to consider dropping the caffeine and boosting your overall health with supplements like this and you will eventually within a couple months feel little to no need for caffeine. I kicked my habit awhile back and glad I did.Also check out the 911healty company. Their stuff is amazing!Cheers people! Be happyyyy

This organic cordyceps extract powder is fantastic! I recently made an effective zippy adaptogen supplement made of this cordyceps, ginseng root extract, eleuthero extract and jiaogulan/gynostemma extract. It increases stamina and energy and has potent anti-aging benefits. It’s effective at fighting stress-induced illness and fatigue. It improves mood, memory, focus, sexual health and immune health. It promotes feelings of calmness and wellbeing and it benefits long-term cognitive health.This cordyceps powder has been instrumental in improving my day-to-day functioning. With my chronic fatigue and chronic pain from illness, it’s not always easy to get out of bed and get moving; this has really helped energize me and may help you too! The powder is potent, and the taste isn’t bad. It’s up to you if you want to mix this into coffee, tea, or into gel or veg caps. ♡

Good taste, and great value. It would be helpful if they would provide a bit more detail about their certification.

There was a problem with the item I received, and when I emailed 911healty, they acted to resolve the problem immediately, so they clearly stand behind their products! As to the product itself, the first day I tried it, I experienced notable digestive benefits. The second and third days, not so much, and since then I have found that I generally experience more benefits with this product than with any other cordyceps products (capsules) I have tried. It even helped unexpectedly with a respiratory issue I had been experiencing. Based on this experience, I believe it does have a higher concentration of cordycepic acid than any other product I’ve tried, as advertised. It is still a relatively short time that I have been using it and if I can offer additional information as I use it over time, I will.

I feel like since using cordyceps my recovery from exercise is greatly enhanced and my muscle tone is really improved. I’m doing the same workouts I always do but I’m getting better results then ever before and hardly any DOMS compared to before I started using this stuff. I also like this brand better then others I’ve used as it dissolves well in my morning coffee compared to others which kind of just sat on top. I drink it every morning in my coffee before working out now and plan to continue doing so. Definitely recommend! Plus I just like the 911healty brand. I’ve purchased several of their powders and haven’t found one yet that I didn’t like. Great, high quality brand!

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE… I have been suffering from COPD and emphysema for some time now and it has advanced to the stage where significant portion my day is spent coughing up huge amounts of mucus that’s blocking my lungs. I started doing these cordyceps and within 3 days I noticed a difference in the mucus production and my coughing. By day 4, I had stopped coughing all together. It’s been two months now and I have yet to have even one major (breath sucking) coughing spasm. Aside from the other benefits these cordyceps might offer, that alone will keep me on them probably for the rest of my life. I couldn’t be more pleased and recommend this product to anyone suffering with COPD or emphysema and lung congestion.

I have been diagnosed with gastroparesis for the past 10+ years which causes me to vomit every 3-4 days usually in the middle of the night. I’m limited on how often I can eat leafy greens and spent most days feeling nauseous as well as not hungry. Trips to the bathroom were infrequent. Being a diabetic it made life very difficult. My son introduced me to your products 911healty and I’m hooked! I can eat foods that I haven’t been able to enjoy without vomiting and have had regular trips to the bathroom. I am excited to add the mitakie supplement to see the benefits it offers. As someone who does not like to eat mushrooms these products are a life changer. Thank you!

Put a scoop in my smoothie everyday for preventative health.

I found that this mushroom is very helpful for fogginess and dizziness associated with my epilepsy, and I’m really happy about it. I also started to feel more energy in less than a month of taking it.

Smells like mushrooms to me, and I find the flavor to be pretty mild so I could just add it to my coffee. But since I want to really enjoy my morning coffee, towards the end of the cup I reheat it in the microwave, add one scoop of the cordyceps along with a little cinnamon, stevia, and more almond milk. A yummy blast off to the day ahead!
Tracie –
I’ve had much better before. And it may be great for the price.

Ya llevo 2 meses tomando este producto! y la verdad siento que me hace muy bien. Me lo tomo en ayunas en el cafe. Y luego me voy a entrenar, spinning. Es lo mejor! Mi rendimiento a mejorado cantidades.Ya estoy haciendo recompra.

Very fine powder that completely desolves without any grit. Taste isn’t as bad as I thought it would be at all. Slight bitter with a sautéed mushroom backend. Definitely drinkable in only water!
Jashawn –
Mixes so easily with my protein shake that I have not noticed a change in taste or smell. I once added it to a soup to no noticeable changes. My performance in the gym this last week has improved and the only difference has been the cordyceps so I will definitely continue to take the powder.
Em –
I was a little worried about the taste. But it tastes great. Kind of a nutty flavor. Tastes great in my morning shake. I have only used it for a week or so. So not sure in the benefits yet.
Customer –
Product was delivered prior to the estimated delivery date! After researching cordyceps, I purchased this product (and a few others) to add to my smoothies to boost my energy. I had been seeking only organic products as I do not want any unnecessary fillers or chemicals added to the mix. This product seems to have increased my energy and helped with that mental fog.
Jaclyn –
These are amazing. Don’t take too much or you may feel overly energized (or frazzled even.) But if you take a little bit and mix it in your morning tea or smoothie…perfect!
Corrine F –
I do like this product and how it helps with my health, I must admit though that it has a certain taste kind of bitter. I recommend mixing it with fruit and milk or water (whichever you prefer) in a blender. It also dissolves very quickly.
Kaden Arabic (verified owner) –
I much prefer buying pure bulk powders over capsules for multiple reasons. There are no additives in the powder and price per dose is so much better.

It arrived fast. It’s organic, fresh, potent cordyceps mushrooms with good effect on the body.I like to put this cacao in my “Peruvian Mine Drink” which consists of:-nut milk like macadamia milk works best or whatever you have-grade a (dark roast formerly grade b) organic maple syrup-cacao of course-green coffee extract-dash of sea salt-a little vanilla-cordyceps (optional)

I have been using medicinal mushrooms for many years in a variety of forms, for a variety of purposes. Everything from extracts of the fruiting body in tinctures, powders, and capsules to the mycelium in both powder and capsules. I have used reishi as a long-term tonic, lions mane as part of a neurological protocol, and cordyceps for its lung, kidney, and endurance benefits. As a retired strength athlete and mushroom enthusiast, my favorite fungus among us is by far, cordyceps. In simple terms, I love the way I feel when I use them, and their versatility is tremendous. Whether I am using it on an as need basis for a sustained good feeling throughout the day, or long term for the tonic and recovery benefits, it gets the job done.—

I started taking this for my lungs – I had been wheezing and my lungs were burning. It took two weeks before I felt it working but it made a big difference. It reduced the wheezing and stopped the burning. I’ve only used one scoop a day maybe it would have worked faster if I took more but I didn’t want to over do it. I stopped taking it during the summer but I just started again and I felt it working the same day I started taking it this second time around.
F. Alabsi –
I used cordyceps before, this brand has a better taste and an instant effect on your day, I have been taking it for a few days with my bullet proof coffee in the morning, it tastes great nutty, the packaging is really nice with seal making it easy to keep fresh, the measurement plastic spoon is inside look for it it will pop us but you wont feel it when you squeez the package. I don’t know about the 100:1 ratio but its the best I used to date and I hope they will sustain the quality and supply cause I am definitely buying again.
pogo –
…by a health professional friend. 100:1 concentration which makes up for it being mycelium-based and not fruiting bodies. Will last a long time (2 months at least I’m guessing) at recommended serving. I keep the scoop it came with in a jar along with scoups from other anti-oxidants I use.
Terry –
My asmha is gone and my blood o2 level perfect, most surprising is my bad colesterall dropped below 100 with normal(sometimes bad diet) for the first time ever, this never happened before evel on coll meds and extream low fat diet, oh great energy levels, have tried several brands but this piwder form most effective
MEG –
Cordyceps are great for so many reasons. The nutritional value is great and for that reason I will continue taking it. The taste is hard to get past, but when you mix it into something flavorful it isn’t so bad! 911healty has created a high quality product here. I recommend it!
Clark Griswold –
Smells right, good quality. Most products available are the mycelium, and these are the fruiting bodies. I do see enhanced stamina with physical activity, I do believe there is something to these, more than placebo. I plan to keep using these, and the Reishi. I make my own capsules of these from the pouches with 00 size capsules, and take 2 daily of the Cordyceps, usually 1 of the Reishi.
Jade –
Seems to be high quality cordyceps, which are among the most tested mushrooms/herbs around. Does the job. Helps the lungs, increases energy and sexually positive. Careful about taking it after noon or 1pm, could cause insomnia if you’re prone.

Wow!!! These are absolutely incredible! The amount that these increase your energy levels is mind blowing. I can’t even begin to describe how much better I feel since putting some of this powder in my coffee every morning. To be honest, this brand has such a good product that I underestimated its strength and put a little too much in my first time trying it. My energy went through the roof and my muscles got super tense which was uncomfortable. Needless to say, I lowered my intake on dosage and holy cow this stuff is amazing, just the right amount of energy now without any muscle tension. My brain seems to be working a lot better too! Thanks so much for these awesome little mushrooms! 🙂
Raine –
I personally taste smoky, almost barbecue-like flavors from this mushroom. Not bad steeped in hot water, but I would not add it to anything fruity. Okay in a chocolate shake

My Partner and I Use Microingredients mushroom powders to formulate our 7th Heaven Vitamins by 911healty. These are high class high concentration powders. If you are looking for a great product with a great value for your dollars, this is the one to buy! I definitely recommend! 5 stars!
Alan Govea –
So I cannot comment if my immune health or heart health(long term) has increased in the week I have been using this product, but let me tell you that I have been feeling better and better each day, I do feel the short term affects, not only do I feel more energized in the morning but happier. I know this is the not the intended effects of the product but I cannot deny the fact that my body is happy. By feeling “healthier”, it’s probably from my immune system getting a rest/boost with this cordyceps powder. Loving everything about it so far and highly recommend this in your diet. I’ve mixed it with my protein shakes, other drinks, pancake mix etc…
DEANA –
Whoa! …Just whoa! I’ve been struggling with depression, lethargy, anger, etc. and going through an extremely difficult transition. I took it as soon as I got it and I began sweating and all the sudden I was able to do my full sink of dishes. Something I often avoid because it gives me anxiety. Just ONE freaking serving!!!??? I mixed cordyceps and reishi. I noticed very subtle nut positive shift in my additude. Cant wait to see the longterm effects!
