Mushroom Spotlight: Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris)
Cordyceps is one of the most unique functional mushrooms we work with at Green Jay. Traditionally used to support vitality and endurance, modern research now highlights its powerful effects on metabolism, oxygen utilization, and cellular energy.
Here are five science supported benefits that make Cordyceps truly special:
⚡ Blood Sugar and Metabolic Support
Cordyceps has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood glucose levels. Its effects on glucose metabolism make it a promising functional mushroom for metabolic and blood sugar support.
NCBI: PMID 29704060, PMID 32521244
🫁 Oxygen Utilization and Respiratory Support
Cordyceps is known for enhancing the body’s ability to utilize oxygen more efficiently. Research suggests it may improve aerobic capacity and cellular oxygen uptake, which is why it has long been associated with endurance and stamina.
NCBI: PMID 28659731
🧠 Brain and Cognitive Support
By improving oxygen delivery and supporting mitochondrial energy production, Cordyceps may help enhance mental clarity, focus, and cognitive resilience, especially during periods of fatigue or stress.
NCBI: PMID 31963236
⚡ Cellular Energy and ATP Production
Cordyceps supports mitochondrial function and ATP synthesis, the primary energy currency of the cell. This makes it uniquely beneficial for sustained energy without stimulants.
NCBI: PMID 29704060
🛡️ Anti Inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity
Cordyceps exhibits anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help protect tissues from oxidative stress, supporting overall longevity and cellular health.
NCBI: PMID 30795797
At Green Jay, our Cordyceps is carefully extracted to preserve its active compounds and deliver clean, effective support for energy, metabolism, and performance without relying on synthetic stimulants.
