Used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tibetan medicine, Cordyceps has long been revered as a powerful vitality tonic. It was traditionally prized for increasing stamina, combating illness, boosting longevity, and supporting the body through stress, fatigue, and aging.

🌱 What Is Cordyceps?
Cordyceps naturally grows in the high-altitude regions of China, the Himalayas, and Tibet, where it parasitically inhabits insects such as caterpillars and ants.
Due to its rarity and high cost, most modern Cordyceps supplements are now made from the mycelium of Ophiocordyceps sinensis or Cordyceps militaris, cultivated sustainably via liquid fermentation—completely insect-free and vegan-friendly.
