The evidence in words
How much to take
1–3 g/day of extract if trialing; expectations should be low.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Cordyceps; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Proposed to improve oxygen utilization and mitochondrial ATP production; human confirmation is lacking.
Bottom line
Trendy but thin. The endurance claims aren't backed by solid human data; spend your supplement budget elsewhere.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
