Cordyceps Mushroom Powder

Our Cordyceps Mushroom Powder is a natural performance enhancer used to enhance energy, athletic performance, recovery, stamina and libido.

• Consciously sourced – our cordyceps is hand cultivated from growers in China.
• Australian made – we extract and package our cordyceps on our farm in Gippsland, Victoria.
• Hot water extracted – our cordyceps is extracted using hot water, making the medicinal qualities available for your body to use.

Intriguing is an understatement. In the wild, cordyceps grow out of the carcasses of brainwashed insect larvae. Yes, you read that right. But thankfully, we source cordyceps militaris (the strain of cordyceps that is hand cultivated without the use of insects).

On another note, cordyceps is believed to increase ATP, which is essential for driving cellular energy to our muscles. So, it’s little wonder why cordyceps is so popular amongst athletes and exercise enthusiasts to boost endurance and aid recovery.

FAQs

What is hot water extraction?

By putting mushrooms through a hot water extraction process, it breaks down their nutrients making them more available for your body to use. We wrote an article about it here: mushroom powder vs extract.
