CARDIOVASCULAR CORDYCEPS

Cordyceps, is a fungus that grows in high altitude regions, and has been used for centuries in traditional Eastern medicine for its potential health benefits, thought to improve oxygen utilisation.

VO2 max, is a key indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness, and has been a measure within studies of the potential impact of Cordyceps on. VO2 max is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion. Ultimately exercise is the most effective way to increase your VO2max. In some studies, Cordyceps has been shown to improve oxygen utilisation.

A study in 2004, testing the potential effect of cordyceps on exercise capacity of 37 elderly adults. The study observed an average increase in their VO2max of 7% vs the control group, after 3-weeks of supplementation (3g of Cordyceps daily).

In a more recent 2016 study of 28 younger adults, subjects were given a daily dose of 4g of cordyceps. There was no significant increase in VO2max by week one, but an increase of 11% for participants that extended intake to 3 weeks, suggesting the potential for greater benefits with prolonged supplementation.

In another study (Chen, 2010), a V02 max increase was not observed, but the test group’s metabolic threshold increased by 10.5% and the ventilatory threshold increased by 8.5% vs the control group, suggesting that supplementation with Cordyceps sinensis may improve exercise performance.
