The evidence in words
The verdict
For aerobic performance, Cordyceps earns evidence grade D (trivial effect, low consistency) — the evidence does not support the claim. Weak human data
How it might work
Proposed to improve oxygen utilization and mitochondrial ATP production; human confirmation is lacking.
How to use it
1–3 g/day of extract if trialing; expectations should be low.
Safety & cautions
Generally safe.
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.
- If trialing
- 1–3 g/day extract.
