Cordyceps is a functional mushroom traditionally used to support energy, stamina, and physical performance. It contains naturally occurring compounds studied for their role in supporting the body’s natural energy processes. Unlike stimulant-based products, it is commonly used for steady, consistent support built through daily use.

This extract is made exclusively from 100% USDA Organic Cordyceps militaris fruiting bodies and standardized to 70% beta-glucans, verified by independent third-party testing using enzymatic beta-glucan. Many standard mushroom powders use mycelium grown on grain, which independent testing has shown to contain minimal active compounds and significant grain starch. This formula contains no mycelium, no grain-based fillers, and no unnecessary additives.

Beta-glucans are the primary active compounds in functional mushrooms and the most reliable measure of extract quality and potency. Many mushroom supplements report total polysaccharide content rather than beta-glucan content specifically, which overstates potency by including inactive grain starch in the figure. Our 70% beta-glucan content is verified using enzymatic beta-glucan, the industry reference method that isolates true beta-glucans from alpha-glucans found in grain starch. Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis are published for every product.

Mix one gram of Cordyceps extract powder into coffee, tea, smoothies, or your preferred beverage once daily. It can be taken with or without food and is commonly used as part of a consistent daily routine.

Yes. Many people incorporate Cordyceps into their pre-activity routine for its steady, non-stimulant support. Because it works through cellular energy pathways rather than adrenal stimulation, it does not produce jitteriness or a post-workout crash. Mix one gram into coffee, a smoothie, or water approximately 30 to 60 minutes before activity. It can also be combined with your existing pre-workout routine.

Cordyceps is designed for steady, cumulative support rather than immediate effects. Some people notice changes in energy or stamina within the first week, while others experience gradual benefits with consistent use over several weeks. Daily consistency over time is what both the traditional use and modern research support. Starting with one gram daily and maintaining that routine gives the extract the best opportunity to build.

No. This extract uses only the fruiting body of Cordyceps militaris. It does not contain mycelium grown on grain substrate, grain-based fillers, binders, or unnecessary additives of any kind. The only ingredient is organic Cordyceps militaris fruiting body extract.

Yes. This extract is sourced from USDA Organic Cordyceps militaris and carries current USDA Organic certification. It is produced in a cGMP-certified facility and third-party tested for potency, heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants on every batch.

Cordyceps is well tolerated by most adults at standard serving sizes. The most commonly reported experience is mild digestive discomfort in the first few days, which typically settles with consistent use. If you are on immunosuppressants, blood thinners, or managing a health condition, speak with your doctor before use. As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or nursing.

No. This product contains Cordyceps mushroom extract only and does not contain CBD, THC, or any hemp-derived ingredients. While Extract Labs is known for its hemp-derived CBD products, the functional mushroom line is a separate product category with no cannabinoid content of any kind.

Cordyceps is most commonly taken in the morning or before activity. It fits naturally into routines focused on energy, stamina, and physical performance.
