You’re pushing hours in the gym, hitting those targets, reaching those goals. There’s no time for fatigue, or a laps in your endurance. Even a momentary dip in your mood could slow you down. So how do you keep at the top of your physical and mental game? Our Answer: The Cordyceps Mushroom. Zhroom Hydration Immunity Mix includes this ingredient in our hydration packet.

Cordyceps has been a natural aid for boosting stamina and mood for centuries—and we mean centuries. Even ancient Tibetan medicine books refer to this masterful mushroom as a key ingredient in a variety of tonics. And for good reason.

Healers have long lauded Cordyceps’ natural defenses against fatigue, exhaustion, and chronic stress. Even today, mushroom enthusiasts hail Cordyceps for its unique ability to revitalize the body. We’re not trying to flex our Cordyceps or anything, but it’s no wonder Cordyceps is one of 6 functional mushrooms found in the ZHROOM Hydration Immunity Mix.

So what should you know about this fascinating fungus? Read ahead for the specs on Cordyceps.

Wild, Wild Mushroom

Cordyceps are what’s called an endoparasitoid, which means they grow as parasites. In the wild, Cordyceps grow mostly on the larvae of insects (in a freaky process you can view here, thanks to Planet Earth). When the fungus attacks its host, it replaces the host’s tissue, sprouting long, thin stems that grow beyond the host’s body. That’s how the mushroom gets its unique form, which almost resembles a Cheeto in shape and color.

Wild Cordyceps, however, are quite expensive, which is why most mushrooms of this variety are grown in a lab. But that shouldn’t deter you. ZHROOM uses only USDA-certified organic cordyceps, grown in the United States.

Energy and Stamina

Cordyceps have long been a reliable source of energy and stamina. That’s because they can increase the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) in the body, according to some studies. ATP is the compound that gives energy to cells, and, by extension, to your muscles. By upping your ATP levels, Cordyceps can improve the way your body uses oxygen, especially during a workout. Bottom line: Cordyceps makes for a great supplement for exercise and physical movement.

Heart Health

Early studies are promising when it comes to Cordyceps’ effect on the heart. Researchers are fascinated by the mushroom’s ample level of adenosine, a naturally-occurring compound that has heart-protecting qualities. Plus, studies show that Cordyceps support keen inflammation response, all while boosting energy and combatting fatigue.
