Yes, cordyceps may help boost energy and enhance athletic performance—especially during endurance activities. Cordyceps are believed to improve the body’s use of oxygen and increase ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which is vital for cellular energy.
Some studies (especially on synthetic strains like Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris) have shown improvements in VO2 max and exercise performance, although more large-scale human research is still needed.

Yes, cordyceps contain beta-glucans and other polysaccharides that are known to modulate and support immune function. Studies show they may help increase white blood cell activity and support the body’s natural defenses against pathogens.
They are also thought to have mild anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which contribute to overall immune resilience.

Traditionally, cordyceps have been used in Chinese medicine to enhance libido and sexual function. Some modern studies suggest they may help increase testosterone production and improve sperm quality in men, and support hormonal balance in women.
These effects are thought to be linked to cordyceps' ability to improve energy, circulation, and reduce stress—all of which are important for a healthy sex drive.
