EXPANDED TCM NOTES

Warming nature

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, warm substances are associated with gently stoking the body's inner fire, especially in cooler months.

Sweet flavour

Sweetness is traditionally linked with nourishing and harmonising qualities rather than strong, dispersing action.

Kidney channel

Classical texts describe the kidneys as the root of vitality and stamina, a theme long connected with cordyceps.

Lung channel

The lung meridian relates to breath and the body's outer defensive layer in the TCM framework.

Yin and Yang balance

Cordyceps has a reputation in TCM for supporting both Yin and Yang, which is why it is often viewed as a balanced tonic.

DOSAGE

10 drops daily

Shake the bottle gently before each use.

Place the drops under the tongue or stir them into water, juice or tea.

Morning or early afternoon suits most people; regular daily use is more important than timing.

PAIRING IDEAS ON THE MUSHROOM SHELF

Militaris + Chaga

A warming partner meets a classic birch fungus. Many people take one in the morning and the other later in the day as a simple seasonal duo.

Drive meets clarity. This pair is popular with students and creative workers who want both energy and focus in one routine.

Militaris + Reishi

Day and evening in balance: militaris for active hours, reishi for the calmer end of the day.

Militaris + Shiitake

A straightforward everyday combination for anyone who enjoys rotating several functional mushrooms through the week.

Findings: In healthy adults, three weeks of supplementation with a Cordyceps militaris containing mushroom blend was associated with improved markers of high-intensity exercise tolerance, including VO2max.

Findings: In a randomized placebo-controlled trial in healthy men, Cordyceps militaris extract was associated with changes in cell-mediated immune parameters such as NK cell activity and lymphocyte proliferation.

Findings: This classic placebo-controlled trial in older adults reported that the Cordyceps sinensis Cs-4 preparation was associated with improved metabolic and ventilatory thresholds during exercise.

Cordyceps has held a place in East Asian tradition for centuries, and modern research on Cordyceps militaris and its metabolites is ongoing and does not support claims of treating disease.
