Cordyceps has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its role in energy production and oxygen utilization and its support of muscle recovery.* Modern science has backed this up by revealing that Cordyceps contains a compound called “cordycepin” that is structurally similar to adenosine, a component in human cells that helps with cellular energy.*

It’s no surprise, then, that studies show Cordyceps may improve the way the body uses oxygen, especially during exercise.*

True Grace mushroom extracts come from the parts of a mushroom you can see when it’s growing. This is called the “fruiting body” (typically the stem, gills, and cap of the mushroom). In the case of Cordyceps, the fruiting body consists of a long, slender stem with a slightly wider tip. (It looks more like a golden mung bean sprout than a classic button mushroom!). The fruiting body has higher levels of active compounds, including beta-glucans, than the mushroom’s “mycelium” (root-like strands).*
