Hi there,
I have asthma so breathing could be a pita at times.
I read cordyceps can help with this. Does anyone here have any experience with this?
What cordyceps extract could help with this? With My preliminary research would say that militarys, the one that's not so concentrated.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Best.

I think they did some minor experiments with cordyceptin and found it's not the active ingredient but still a good marker. YMMV though

Shit is weird. We are still doing testing. Pure cordycepin doesn't have the effects we want, as we tested that on its own. This is what led us to conclude it wasn't the main active. However, the story might be more complex than that. The entourage effect comes into play. I think cordycepin is playing a role when mixed with the other compounds in cordyceps, but not on its own. Also, cordycepin content doesn't directly correlate with the subjective strength in effects. We found a lot of cordycepin in some products, but we felt nothing from them when we took them. So if cordycepin is playing a role in the subjective effects, it's only as a minor entourage compound. We need to do more work to elucidate exactly which other compounds are the primary ones correlated with the subjective endurance/energy effects.
