CordyMax Cs-4 raised liver ATP by up to 18% in an animal study
Using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, a placebo-controlled animal study found 7 days of a Cordyceps sinensis mycelial fermentation product increased steady-state liver ATP by 12.3-18.4% and the ATP-to-inorganic-phosphate ratio by up to 47.7% compared to placebo, consistent with a higher cellular bioenergy status.
Animal studyCordyceps militaris extract raised ATP-pathway biomarkers in an exercise model
In mice given a Cordyceps militaris ethyl acetate extract, weekly grip-strength testing showed a modest increase in strength alongside changes in blood biomarkers tied to the ATP-generation pathway, suggesting the extract's exercise benefit works mainly through supporting cellular energy production.
Animal studyA human trial found a Cordyceps extract raised skin-cell ATP by 68%
A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 40 people testing a Cordyceps sinensis mycelium extract found it increased ATP production by 68% in cultured skin cells and raised a measured 'skin energy' value by 52% after 28 days, alongside reduced cellular oxidative stress - evidence of the extract's cellular bioenergetic activity, studied here in a skin-longevity context rather than whole-body vitality.
Human RCTA 5-week human trial found no measurable endurance benefit in trained cyclists
In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 22 endurance-trained male cyclists, 5 weeks of CordyMax Cs-4 (3 g/day) produced no significant change in VO2peak, ventilatory threshold, or time-trial performance versus placebo - an honest reminder that not every Cordyceps exercise study shows a benefit, especially in already well-trained athletes.
Human RCTA second human trial in cyclists also found no significant change in oxygen use
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 8 male subjects found a Cordyceps sinensis plus Rhodiola rosea formula produced no significant difference in muscle tissue oxygen saturation, VO2max, ventilatory threshold, or time to exhaustion during maximal cycling tests versus placebo.
Human RCTCordyceps militaris extract lengthened swimming time to exhaustion in mice
In a comparative animal study, 4 weeks of oral Cordyceps militaris extract significantly lengthened forced-swimming time to exhaustion versus untreated controls, alongside lower plasma triglycerides - one of several medicinal mushroom extracts tested that improved endurance capacity in this model.
Animal studyCordyceps militaris fruiting-body extract delayed fatigue and boosted antioxidant enzymes in mice
Two weeks of Cordyceps militaris fruiting-body extract significantly delayed fatigue onset in rotating-rod, forced-swimming and forced-running tests in mice, raised ATP levels and antioxidant enzyme activity, and reduced lactic acid, lactate dehydrogenase, malondialdehyde and reactive oxygen species - effects linked to activation of the AMPK energy-sensing pathway.
Animal studyOphiocordyceps sinensis extract raised antioxidant markers under stress in an animal model
Phenolic-rich fractions of Ophiocordyceps sinensis (the same stroma species used in this product) showed strong free-radical-scavenging and reducing-power activity in lab assays, and in an animal model of cold, hypoxia and restraint stress the extract favourably shifted malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels - supporting its traditional adaptogen reputation.
Animal studyCordycepin protected heart tissue via antioxidant pathways in a rat toxicity model
In rats exposed to a cardiotoxic chemical, cordycepin - a bioactive compound found in Cordyceps and Ophiocordyceps species - dose-dependently restored antioxidant defenses (Nrf2/HO-1, glutathione, superoxide dismutase) and reduced inflammatory and cardiac-injury markers, with corresponding improvement on heart tissue imaging.
Animal studyA 2025 review maps Cordyceps militaris's immune-modulating activity
A comprehensive review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical-trial evidence found Cordyceps militaris extract and its key constituents (cordycepin, polysaccharides) enhance innate and cell-mediated immunity under normal and immune-suppressed conditions, while also calming an overactivated immune response in inflammatory-disease models - concluding current evidence indicates it is safe and promising for immunomodulation.
ReviewA newly isolated Ophiocordyceps polysaccharide activated immune cells in the lab
Researchers isolated a novel high-molecular-weight polysaccharide from cultured Ophiocordyceps (the same species as this product's stroma ingredient) and found it significantly boosted macrophage proliferation and phagocytic activity, and increased secretion of nitric oxide and immune-signaling cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6) in a dose-dependent manner.
In vitro studyA cultivated Cordyceps sinensis polysaccharide showed both immune and antioxidant activity
A novel polysaccharide purified from cultivated Chinese cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) demonstrated strong antioxidant capacity across three separate assays, and separately enhanced macrophage proliferation, phagocytosis and cytokine secretion (TNF-alpha, IL-10, IL-6) - working, researchers found, through TLR4-mediated immune-signaling pathways.
In vitro studyA meta-analysis of 27 trials found a Cordyceps-derived capsule improved lung function and exercise tolerance
Pooling 27 randomized controlled trials, a meta-analysis found Bailing capsule (derived from a Cordyceps sinensis mycelial fermentation product) added to standard COPD therapy significantly improved forced expiratory volume (FEV1), the FEV1/FVC ratio and 6-minute walk test distance, reduced acute exacerbations, and improved quality of life versus standard therapy alone.
Meta-analysisA 240-patient trial found a Cordyceps sinensis capsule reduced COPD flare-ups
In a multi-center, randomized, active-controlled trial of 240 patients with mild-to-severe COPD, 24 weeks of Yong Chong Cao Capsule (a Cordyceps sinensis-based product) significantly reduced the number of acute exacerbations and prolonged time to first exacerbation compared with an active comparator capsule of similar composition.
Human RCTAn animal study traced how Cordyceps militaris eases COPD symptoms
In a mouse model of COPD, Cordyceps militaris significantly improved lung function and reduced pulmonary inflammation, an effect the researchers linked to the fungus's regulation of amino-acid metabolism and gut-microbiota short-chain fatty acid production - a proposed mechanism behind its traditional use for 'tonifying the lung.'
Animal studyA Cochrane review of 22 trials (1,746 patients) found Cordyceps improved kidney markers in CKD
A Cochrane systematic review pooling 22 randomized trials in 1,746 people with chronic kidney disease found Cordyceps preparations, used alongside conventional treatment, significantly decreased serum creatinine, increased creatinine clearance and reduced 24-hour proteinuria - though the reviewers cautioned that methodological quality across the included trials was often low, so results should be interpreted with care.
Systematic reviewA 202-patient trial found Cordyceps sinensis reduced drug toxicity after kidney transplant
In a randomized trial of 202 kidney transplant recipients, adding Cordyceps sinensis to standard immunosuppressive therapy significantly reduced the incidence of hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, lowered the required cyclosporine dose and blood concentration over time, and reduced chronic allograft nephropathy - without increasing the risk of acute rejection.
Human RCTCordycepin protected kidney cells from high-glucose damage in an animal model
In diabetic mice and high-glucose-exposed kidney cells, cordycepin (a compound from Cordyceps militaris) reduced serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, and lessened the kidney-scarring changes typical of diabetic nephropathy, by boosting a protective signaling protein (Smad7) that suppresses a fibrosis-driving pathway.
Animal studyA human trial found no significant blood-sugar benefit from Cordyceps combined with reishi
A prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 84 adults with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome found 16 weeks of Ganoderma lucidum, with or without Cordyceps sinensis, produced no significant improvement in HbA1c or fasting glucose versus placebo - an honest result showing this particular combination did not demonstrate a measurable glycemic benefit in this trial.
Human RCTCordycepin lowered blood glucose and reduced liver scarring in a diabetic animal model
In a high-fat-diet and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse model, cordycepin (a Cordyceps militaris-derived compound) lowered blood glucose levels, improved liver function and reduced liver fibrosis, acting by suppressing a signaling pathway involved in diabetes-associated liver scarring.
Animal studyCultured Cordyceps militaris improved metabolic and antioxidant markers in diabetic rats
In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, three weeks of cultured Cordyceps militaris reversed diabetes-related declines in reproductive function while significantly raising testosterone and antioxidant (superoxide dismutase) activity and lowering oxidative-stress markers - suggesting the extract's benefit works partly through easing diabetes-related oxidative stress.
Animal studyA 2023 review catalogues over 200 bioactive compounds across Cordyceps species
A wide-ranging review found more than 200 bioactive metabolites identified across Cordyceps species - including nucleosides, polysaccharides, proteins, sterols and fatty acids - and detailed cordycepin's biosynthesis pathway and the mechanisms behind its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory activity.
ReviewA review surveys cordycepin's wide-ranging nutraceutical research base
A comprehensive review of cordycepin - the signature nucleoside compound of Cordyceps, structurally similar to adenosine - summarized published research spanning anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective and cardiovascular activity, describing it as the most pharmacologically significant single compound identified in the genus.
ReviewStrain-quality research shows why extract potency varies between Cordyceps militaris sources
Screening 20 different Cordyceps militaris strains, researchers found cordycepin, adenosine and polysaccharide content - and antioxidant activity - varied substantially by strain and cultivation batch, with one top-performing strain also maintaining stable genetics across multiple generations, underscoring why sourcing and cultivation quality matter for a consistent full-spectrum extract.
