What is cordyceps and how does it support immune health?

Cordyceps is a genus of medicinal fungi traditionally used in Chinese medicine. The species C. sinensis and C. militaris contain cordycepin and polysaccharides that have been studied for their potential to modulate both innate and adaptive immune responses.

What dosage of cordyceps has been used in clinical studies?

Clinical trials have used cordyceps extract at doses of 1–3 g per day, typically as standardized Cs-4 mycelium or C. militaris fruiting body extract. Study durations range from 4 to 12 weeks for immune-related outcomes.

About

Cordyceps contains cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) and polysaccharides that enhance innate immune cascades, increase NK cell cytotoxicity, and modulate adaptive immunity. A double-blind RCT demonstrated 38.8% enhancement of NK cell cytotoxic activity after 8 weeks of supplementation in healthy adults.

How It Works

Cordycepin and polysaccharides enhance innate immune cascades, increase NK cell cytotoxicity, and modulate adaptive immunity; supports both immune activation in immunocompromised states and suppression of overactivated responses.
