History of Cordyceps

Tracing its roots back to the lofty heights of the Himalayas, Cordyceps has long been celebrated in traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine, with over 1,500 years of documented use. Known by the Ancient Greeks as "club head," this formidable fungus was first chronicled in 15th-century Chinese medical texts. Nomadic herders in Tibet and Nepal observed that livestock grazing on Cordyceps not only appeared healthier but also more vigorous, inspiring them to use the fungus to dramatically boost the vitality and productivity of their herds. This led to its historical use to enhance energy, treat respiratory and kidney ailments, and boost libido, integrating Cordyceps into holistic wellness practices.

Why are Cordyceps so good for our Energy?

There are two strains of Cordyceps. Cordyceps Sinensis and Cordyceps Militaris.  The Militaris strain used by Pure Filth, boosts energy through an incredible compound called cordycepin, which is similar to something we naturally found in the body called adenosine. Adenosine is involved in cellular energy production as it helps form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of our cells. Increased ATP means improved energy efficiency, faster recovery and endurance, vital for enhancing physical performance. Compelling research highlights its effectiveness: a study found that after just three weeks of Cordyceps supplementation, participants showed significantly increased tolerance to intense exercise. Another study demonstrated a 7% increase in VO2 max among adults taking Cordyceps daily, underscoring its potential to revolutionise training and fitness results. 

Other potential benefits of Cordyceps:

• Enhances Endurance:
• Recent studies suggest Cordyceps' anti-fatigue properties can significantly enhance physical stamina.
• Boosts Libido:
• Cordyceps Militaris has shown potential in improving sexual performance and libido, acting as a natural aphrodisiac.
• Respiratory Health Support:
• Some studies indicate that Cordyceps may improve respiratory function, potentially beneficial for conditions like asthma and COPD by enhancing exercise tolerance and respiratory health.
• Immune System Modulation:
• Cordyceps may stimulate immune cells such as T cells and B cells, potentially bolstering the body’s defence mechanisms and offering adaptogenic benefits for managing autoimmune conditions or post-transplant therapies.
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties:
• Preliminary research suggests that Cordyceps could help manage inflammation, which could be beneficial for inflammatory conditions such as IBD or arthritis, by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cells.
