HEAA for ATP*
Our OxyCeps-O2 and Oxyceps-Super cordyceps blends contain hydroxy-ethyl-adenosine analogs (HEAA) to naturally support endogenous ATP production.*

400mg Arjuna Extract (Terminalia Arjuna)
Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna), a botanical that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to support heart health and endurance*
For thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine cordyceps has been used to support lung (respiration) cardio function, healthy immune function, and general health. Tibetan Sherpas used cordyceps to enhance energy production and oxygen utilization when climbing Mt. Everest. In 1993 the Chinese Women’s National Track Team claimed to use cordyceps to set nine world records, three by staggering margins. This is when Western athletes became aware of the benefits of cordyceps. In several clinical studies, cordyceps has been shown to support oxygen utilization, endurance, and resistance to exercise fatigue.*
Q: How does your cordyceps differ from the other materials on the market?
A: WHAT WE CALL “THE BAD STUFF”! Nearly all inferior cordyceps strains are cultured in a process known as liquid cultivation or fermentation. This process uses a liquid substrate to grow the cordyceps mycelium in a very speedy 5-18 days, yielding low levels of active constituents. The cordyceps mycelium is then harvested by filtering out the liquid medium, drying it, and grinding it into a powder. By filtering out the liquid medium many of the quality compounds secreted by the cordyceps are lost. It is usually further processed using hot water or solvents resulting in the loss of nearly 90% of the active constituents of which it had few to begin with due to the fast liquid culturing process. This is not a good thing and is typically what you find in cheap, inferior-produced cordyceps. Typically, these inferior products only quantify cordycepic acid (3% to 7%) on their label.
THE GOOD STUFF! The cordyceps species in Cordygen5 are grown here in the U.S using a solid state (solid substrate) or biomass method. This is a much slower culturing method where the cordyceps is grown on a sterilized solid medium such as organic millet or sorghum. The cordyceps is allowed to consume the solid substrate while being subjected to temperature and gas changes (O2 and CO2) to stimulate its native altitude conditions. This process typically takes between 22 and 24 weeks (nearly 6 months) before the cordyceps is ready for harvest. When the cordyceps mycelium is ready to harvest it has consumed more than 98% of the solid medium in which it was cultured on. The residual substrate is then removed, yielding pure, potent cordyceps material with high concentrations of active constituents from every facet of its life cycle. This process allows Cordygen5 to exceed the effectiveness of other cordyceps products on the market by up to 95%.*
NOTE! Beware! Not all biomass cultured strains are created equal. Just because a cordyceps product says “biomass” doesn’t mean it has been exposed to gas and temperature changes (altitude simulation) or cultured long enough to be optimally effective.
Q. Will it make me jittery?
A. No, this product is caffeine-free and contains no added stimulants.
Q. Will it make me tired?
A. No, we do not incorporate any “downer” or “calming” ingredients.
Cordygen5 is perfect for anyone who wants to increase their ATP levels but doesn’t want to consume creatine due to its common side effects.
Cordygen5 is also ideal for anyone who is a non-responder to creatine products but still wants to reap its benefits.
Cordygen5 can be felt on the first dose but should be taken for seven consecutive days prior to competition for optimal results.

amazing and beneficial
this product provides increased stamina, effects are both subtle and not-so-subtle. for me, it took about 2 weeks, using 3 pills a day, to feel the effects, and when i went off it, took another 2 weeks to feel the absence of it.for me, the cordygen reduces about 75% of my spinal pain caused from my chronic inflammatory disease.after i went off it, the pain came back and i was very surprised, because the only thing i had done differently was not use the cordygen. so i re-ordered double, and now take 2 caps 3x a day – once upon waking, once 6-8 hours later, and once before sleep.taking double the amount has no negative side effects, and i could probably take triple, but that would cost more and also i dont know about diminished returns. i think adaptogens like cordyceps give both short and long term benefits, so i plan on continuing this dosage pattern for years.please test for yourself and disregard alarmist and extremist claims about dangers. yes everyone reacts differently, and some people may experience some bloating/digestive stress. if that’s the case, you probably need to figure out if you’re eating a diet that’s not right for you. i have IBD, so i can’t eat much starches, gluten, fiber, lactose, FODmap containing foods, etc. point being, i know my digestive system is crazy and i live accordingly.

Won’t change your life, but your lungs will thank you
These are fantastic if you know what you’re getting. These aren’t going to give you more energy or get you that “jacked” feeling, but they are fantastic at increasing stamina. I used to be short of breath fairly quickly when running or working out, but these guys make it so my muscles are first to fatigue rather than my lungs.Highly recommended.

Awesome
If you are looking a for an advantage in your endurance and ability to tax your body to the max without necessarily feeling it, then this is your ticket! I bought these for cycling and I will be a life long user. You really notice a huge gain in performance during the first couple of weeks of taking these pills. Thereafter you won’t notice it by feeling or anything, but you will notice it still working by looking at your numbers n such after each ride.Subtle, working in the background.

Didn’t think it would work, oh but it does.
I used to take weightlifting supplements and I thought “there has to be a supplement for running, too” sure enough, there is.I took this for a month before a physical fitness test. Man does this stuff work. It says to start off with 1 to build a tolerance but I didn’t have time to see if I had a tolerance, I wanted to see that same day what 3 would do.Popped 3, waited the amount of time specified and went on a 2 mile run. After taking this on the first day, my legs were giving out before my lungs. Before trying this, I had that burning feeling in my lungs and was completely winded from running as fast as I could. I used to live in Colorado Springs and would come home to Texas and I could run forever. Taking this feels just like going from high altitude to a low altitude (in terms of endurance).

Really give a boost in energy and helps temporarily with chronic fatigue too.

Seemed To Help For Tough Mudder
I entered the Tough Mudder obstacle course race in Colorado and remember it being murder on my cardio last time, so I thought I’d try these to see if they helped.They seemed to.I jogged the first couple of miles and was actually able to talk to the person next to me like I was walking, which is great for me!I’ll definitely use them for endurance events in the future.

Useless and pointless
Compared it to Shroom Tech Sport, it’s absolutely useless. Did nothing whatsoever. My great regret is that I had the bootle lying around and can’t return it. Straight into the rubbish bin it goes.

Not Sure
I’m not sure if this worked for me. I used it in preparation for an amateur boxing match. I won, and I did not tire. However, I never felt like I was surpassing any level I was capable of without taking it.
