"Himalayan Viagra."
£22.00
Cordyceps sinensis has been used for centuries across Tibetan and Chinese medicine as a source of energy, stamina and vitality — a rare fungus found at altitudes above 3,800 metres in the mountains of Tibet, Nepal and India, where local herders first noticed grazing animals growing stronger from foraging on it.
Our Cordyceps Extract Capsules are our partner Cultivate Elevate's own USDA-organic formulation, standardised to a 15:1 extraction with 30% polysaccharides from 100% fruiting bodies — no mycelium fillers, no maltodextrin, no genetically altered ingredients. Traditional use and published research both point to Cordyceps sinensis's effect on the airways, where it's associated with inhibiting tracheal contractions to allow easier airflow, alongside its long-standing reputation for supporting libido, the adrenals, energy and stamina.
