Natural energy. Respiratory vitality. Daily nourishment from the inside out.
Cordyceps is a unique functional fungus traditionally consumed in the high mountain regions of Tibet and China as a nourishing food. Today, it is carefully cultivated in Australia and enjoyed worldwide as a nutrient-dense whole food that supports energy, vitality, and long-term wellbeing.
Rather than acting as a stimulant, cordyceps works by nourishing the body’s systems, making it an ideal daily food-based supplement for sustained performance and resilience.
Why Cordyceps?
Cordyceps helps the body use oxygen more efficiently, supporting sustained energy and physical endurance for busy, demanding days without relying on stimulants.
Traditionally used as a warming lung tonic, cordyceps supports clear breathing and respiratory vitality, particularly during exercise or seasonal stress.
Long valued as a strengthening food in traditional diets, cordyceps supports vitality, endurance, and reproductive health when used as part of a balanced lifestyle.
Naturally rich in antioxidants and unique compounds such as cordycepin, cordyceps is considered a longevity-supporting food that helps protect the body from everyday oxidative stress.

Cordyceps are a group of fungi known for their role in nature and modern supplements. While they naturally infect insects, cordyceps used for human consumption are safely cultivated in controlled environments under strict Australian standards.
A cordyceps is a specific fungus within a larger family, each adapted to a narrow host range. Australian-made cordyceps supplements use cultivated, non-parasitic strains grown for human use.
Cordyceps are multiple species of fungi, most found only in specific ecosystems. In supplements, cordyceps refers to medicinal mushrooms grown for beneficial compounds under strict quality controls.
A cordyceps mushroom is the cultivated fruiting body used in supplements. In Australia, these are grown on controlled substrates and tested for purity and contaminants.
No. Cordyceps cannot infect humans. They are biologically specialised to insects and cannot survive in the human body.
No. There has never been a documented case of cordyceps infecting humans, and Australian-made products add an extra layer of safety through regulation and testing.
No. Cordyceps cannot tolerate human body temperature or bypass the human immune system.
No. From a scientific perspective, the evolutionary changes required for cordyceps to infect humans are unrealistic.
No. Cordyceps are highly specialised fungi and cannot naturally jump from insects to humans.
No. Cordyceps would require entirely new biological mechanisms to infect humans, making this scenario scientifically implausible.
Australian-made cordyceps products are produced under strict FSANZ and consumer law standards, ensuring better testing, clearer labelling, ethical sourcing, and full accountability. This makes them safer and more reliable than many imported alternatives.
