NUTRITION+ is a daily supplement powered by cordyceps mycelium, a medicinal mushroom grown in the high mountain regions of China. Cultivating and collecting cordyceps is a time-consuming and costly process, but it is well worth it for the benefits it confers, including:
- Reduces fatigue and boosts vitality by increasing cellular energy production
- Increases blood flow and reduces accumulation of exercise-induced lactic acid
- Helps improve insulin sensitivity—cells more efficiently use blood sugar which increases energy production in the short term
- Supports stabilization and lowering of blood sugar in those with pre-diabetes or diabetes
- May help lower cholesterol and triglycerides
Studies have found that cordyceps has a protective effect on the lung and kidney, but outcomes vary from person to person. Generally, cordyceps is known to have a positive effect on tumors, which can help reduce the risks of cancer.
