Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus that is highly valued in China as a tonic and herbal medicine. There are over 400 species of cordyceps worldwide, and many different cultures have traditionally consumed it for its health benefits. The records show the use of C. sinensis has been going on for centuries.

Q: I’ve heard cordyceps is considered an aphrodisiac. Is this true?
A: Yes, it’s used traditionally to help with vigor and stamina, in many areas of life including the bedroom. In Tibetan traditional medicine, it’s known as Himalayan Viagra!

Q: Why don’t you use wild cordyceps?
A: Wild C. sinensis is both expensive and rare, due to the fact it is grown in high altitudes in places like the Himalayan foothills. Cultivating cordyceps on brown rice allows it to be sustainable as well as vegan-friendly.

Q: Is cordyceps an adaptogen like so many other mushrooms?
A: Yes, cordyceps is considered an adaptogen, allowing us a stronger ability to ‘adapt’ to the stresses and stressors of our modern lifestyle.

Q: Are all 400 strains of cordyceps medicinal and edible?
A: Definitely not. Some strains are known for their ability to turn their insect hosts into walking zombies! Another good reason not to wild harvest cordyceps and only buy from reputable sources.
