Cordyceps are vegan since we are able to reproduce this fungus in specialized labs to ensure no harming of caterpillars for our own use, allowing the cordyceps to be a bio-available nutrient source. Our cordyceps, like the one found in nature, is used to treat everything from coughs and colds to chronic bronchitis and kidney disorders. Cordyceps has also been used to treat sexual energy and oxygenation of the whole body. Cordyceps have also shown success being used as stimulants, or adaptogens, as they are used to increase energy and reduce fatigue.

This cordyceps sinensis is also considered a mushroom, although not exactly the same thing. The name itself comes from the Latin words ‘club’ and ‘head’, and is also named from determining the mycological features of the fungus. For centuries, folk healers used cordyceps to increase their sexual desire and stamina as well as overall well-being.
