Cordyceps
The Athlete's Energy Supplement
Cordyceps is best known as the supplement used by the Chinese women's track and field team that broke 9 world records in 1993 and 1994.
- 10 000 meter race record was shattered by 42 seconds
- 1 500 meter record breaker was ranked 73rd at the same distance the year before
Team members tested negative for using illegal substances, and their coach revealed that the athletes' diets were supplemented with a "Chinese fungus" - Corydceps.
There are numerous articles published regarding the positive health benefits of Cordyceps. Some articles suggest that Cordyceps may enhance exercise capacity by improving glucose tolerance.
It is also reported that Cordyceps containing Cordysepic acid and adenosine can increase energy and endurance and reduce the onset of exercise-related fatigue.
Some athletes who participate in endurance exercise events, such as distance running, swimming, cycling and adventure racing notice an improvement in exercise capacity and tolerance through Cordyceps supplementation.
- Research suggests that Cordyceps increases adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) levels in the cell and oxygen use
- ATP is the cell's primary currency for energy
- So this process creates an optimal situation where there is more energy to burn and more oxygen to burn it
Unlike caffeine, which makes people think they have more energy, Cordyceps actually facilitates more energy in the body.
Cordyceps are an ideal supplement for high performance athletes looking for a natural edge in competition and training.
Cordyceps are great for the average exercise enthusiast to improve work outs.
