The fungus parasitises the caterpillars of certain moth species on the Tibetan plateau, penetrates their bodies and grows into a mushroom that emerges from the head of the mummified larva. Locally it is called \"yartsa gunbu\" — literally \"summer grass, winter worm\". Because of its rarity and the extreme effort of collecting it — searching at 4,000 m altitude — wild sinensis fetches prices of up to $20,000 per kilo, with all the ecological and commercial pressure that comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor commercial supplements, Cordyceps militaris is mainly used. This species is grown on a grain substrate (often rice), with the major advantages of no caterpillars needed, scalable production, consistent quality and — importantly — a generally higher cordycepin content than wild sinensis. The KiKi Health cordyceps at Plenthera is of this type. There is also the fermented Cs-4 strain of Cordyceps sinensis: mycelium grown in tanks, without caterpillars — the basis of Doctor's Best Ultra Cordyceps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCordyceps is classified as an adaptogen and is traditionally associated with energy, lung function and endurance. Together with reishi, lion's mane, chaga and maitake, cordyceps forms the core of the adaptogenic mushroom supplements.

It is structurally closely related to adenosine — an important molecule in cellular energy production (think ATP). In preclinical studies, cordycepin has been studied in relation to mitochondrial function, antioxidant activity and physiological response during exercise. Clinical research in humans is more limited but growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sports performance, various studies show varying results. Some report improvement in VO2max or exercise tolerance after 3-12 weeks of cordyceps supplementation; other studies find no significant effect. Methodology and dosages differ greatly between studies, which makes a clear conclusion difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe therefore make no literal claims of effect.

Important to know: some of Ma's athletes later tested positive for doping, which has nuanced the picture of the 1993 story.
