Product Description
Cordyceps has been used for centuries in traditional systems where it was associated with endurance and physical resilience. Unlike stimulants, it is traditionally taken to support steady energy rather than spikes and crashes.
Mantra’s Cordyceps is offered for those who move, train, work long hours or simply want energy that feels supported rather than forced.
How to Work with This Plant

The Mantra Approach
At Mantra, we approach plants with respect rather than urgency. We work with traditional knowledge while staying honest about what modern research does and does not yet tell us. Some plants have a growing body of human research, while others are primarily supported by historical and cultural use. This product is offered as part of a wellbeing ritual, not as a medical intervention.
Research & Context
Research context: Human exercise performance and muscle recovery have been explored with Cordyceps supplementation.
PubMed paper: Cordyceps militaris improves tolerance to high-intensity exercise after chronic supplementation — shows potential performance context in humans.
