CORDYCEPS

Key Ingredient

Cordyceps Sinensis (Cordyceps) Fruiting Body Extract 10:1

Cordyceps' defining compound is cordycepin, a nucleoside unique to this species. Alongside beta glucan polysaccharides and cyclosporine-like metabolites, cordycepin is recognised for supporting ATP production at a cellular level, the same energy currency the body draws on to sustain physical effort.

What the Herders Noticed First

A discovery made in the field, not the lab

Fatigue is rarely a willpower problem. At a cellular level, energy is currency, produced as ATP, the molecule every cell converts into usable power, and caffeine does not create more of it. It works instead by blocking the receptors that register tiredness, borrowing alertness the body has not yet earned, a gap that surfaces eventually as the familiar crash.

Cordyceps was never discovered in a laboratory. Herders on the high plateau of Tibet and Nepal noticed their yaks grew more energetic after grazing where a strange growth pushed through the snowmelt each spring, a fungus emerging from what looked, in winter, like a caterpillar. They named it accordingly, dong chong xia cao, winter worm, summer grass, and valued it for centuries as support for stamina at an altitude where every breath already works harder than it should.

The Same Compound, Without the Climb

Cordycepin, concentrated through cultivation rather than chance

Mother Made did not need a wild harvest from a Himalayan slope to offer the same compound. Cordycepin concentrates just as reliably through careful cultivation. Conditions are built specifically to grow the fruiting body, removing any need to leave things to chance at altitude.

Each capsule holds 450mg of Cordyceps alone, dual extracted from that fruiting body at a 10:1 ratio. It is the same energy supportive compound once tied to a herder's grazing yak, now measured and concentrated for a training session, a demanding morning or whatever the day asks of her.

One or two capsules, taken before the day picks up its pace or the moment requires peak performance. No altitude required, no snowmelt to wait for, only the same fungus, understood well enough to be grown rather than gathered.

What does Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules do for the body?

Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules are developed to support sustained energy, physical performance and healthy oxygenated blood flow. Each capsule delivers 450mg of dual extracted, certified organic Cordyceps fruiting body extract. Taken daily or before training, it offers a considered way to support energy through nutrition rather than a stimulant.

Cordyceps' cordycepin is traditionally valued for supporting ATP production and cellular energy metabolism. Its cyclosporine-like metabolites contribute to circulation and lung capacity during physical activity.

How are Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules different from a pre workout or caffeine based energy supplement?

Most pre workout and energy supplements work by stimulating the nervous system directly. They raise adrenaline and mask fatigue signals rather than addressing the body's actual energy supply. Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules work differently. They support ATP production at a cellular level, the same energy currency muscles and organs draw on during sustained effort. This means the support builds through nutrition over time rather than delivering an immediate spike. There is no stimulant crash to offset once it wears off.

Are Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules suitable for daily use and who are the cordyceps capsules best suited to?

Yes, Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules are developed for daily use, with a suggested serve of 1 to 2 capsules taken in the morning or before training. It is best suited to those seeking a considered, food based way to support sustained energy and physical performance without relying on stimulants. As a fungal derived formulation, those with a known mushroom or fungal sensitivity should take care, and anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication should consult their healthcare provider before use.

How do I use Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules day to day?

Take 1 to 2 Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules daily with water, in the morning or before training, whichever suits your routine. Consistency matters more than exact timing, so choose whichever moment fits naturally into your existing day. Always read the label and use as directed.

What's the difference between fruiting body and mycelium cordyceps extracts and why does Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules use fruiting body only?

The fruiting body is the mushroom itself, the part that grows above ground and contains the highest concentration of cordycepin, beta glucan polysaccharides and other bioactive compounds. Mycelium is the mushroom's root structure, and mycelium based supplements are often grown on grain, which can leave a significant portion of the finished powder as starch rather than mushroom. Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules are made exclusively from fruiting body extract, so what is measured on the label reflects concentrated Cordyceps compounds rather than grain filler.

When is the best time to take Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules?

Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules are flexible enough to take in the morning to support a steadier start to the day, or shortly before training to support physical performance through a session. There is no single correct time, many find one or the other suits their routine better and some take a capsule in each. Consistency across days matters more than the hour it is taken.

Can I take Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules alongside other Mother Made mushroom products?

Yes, Cordyceps works through a different mechanism to Reishi, Lion's Mane or Chaga, so it complements rather than duplicates Mother Made AM Mushroom Powder. Mother Made AM Mushroom Powder also carries Cordyceps within its blend, so when combining the two, stay mindful of your total daily Cordyceps intake and introduce any new addition gradually to assess how your body responds before settling into a full daily routine.

How long does a bottle of Mother Made Performance Cordyceps Capsules last and is it good value?

At the confirmed 1 to 2 capsule daily serve, a 60 capsule bottle priced at $44 NZD lasts between 30 and 60 days, working out to between under 75 cents and around $1.45 a day depending on serve size. The price reflects 450mg of dual extracted, certified organic Cordyceps per capsule, concentrated at a 10:1 ratio and carried with no fillers, bulking agents or synthetic additives.
