So with the month of love just around the corner, what better time to discuss and promote the wonder shroom that is Cordyceps! And in this case Cordyceps Militaris!
Cordyceps is the sex, stamina and endurance mushroom; well known for its boosting libido and rekindling passion abilities; it is no wonder that Cordyceps garnered the nickname “Himalayan Viagra!”
Before I jump into the sexy properties of Cordyceps, I would just like to mention adaptogens.
Adaptogens! so called for their ability to help the body adapt to certain psychical, chemical or biological stresses; Can be found in herbs, seeds, fruits, roots, and lastly but most certainly not least Mushrooms! There are over 70 known and named adaptogens, but more than likely a lot more yet undiscovered. Cordyceps is one in particular adaptogenic mushroom!
Cordyceps contains bioactive compounds such as Cordycepin, Adenosine, and Polysaccharides. Their chemical structures differ, but their goal is the same: to promote brain health, improve athletic performance and stamina, raise energy levels, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote the immune system.
Clinical studies have shown that adenosine has a vasodilatory effect; basically it helps relax and widen the blood vessels. For those that suffer high blood pressure; Adenosine can lower blood pressure and enhance circulation in the blood.
The vasodilatory nature of Cordyceps might also explain its ability to improve sexual function; allowing more blood to pump to that special organ for more sexy fun! And resulting in enhanced sensitivity, arousal, and sexual pleasure in both men and women.
Cordyceps can also help address the underlying factors contributing to ED, (erectile disfunction) potentially leading to improved erectile function and a more satisfying sexual experience all round!
Cordyceps has been linked to better sexual function in men and women for numerous reasons. Cordyceps increases the level of testosterone in men. Testosterone is vital because it regulates male sexual health, libido, sperm production, and erectile function.
In men, testosterone is closely linked to sexual arousal and desire. Higher testosterone levels can amplify sexual thoughts and fantasies and act as a driving force behind the initiation and motivation for sexual behaviour. testosterone has another vital role in maintaining healthy blood flow, especially in the male genital region.
This shows that Cordyceps mushrooms are a great ally in fighting infertility issues and decreased libido.
Libido, also known as the sex drive or sexual desire, is actually a complex combination of hormonal, psychological, and physiological factors that contribute to a person’s sexual arousal and interest in sexual activity.
A healthy libido is a vital element of a person’s satisfying sexual relationship. It drives intimacy, bonding, and mutual pleasure.
Sex drive is a natural and crucial part of human sexuality. A normal libido can contribute to a sense of vitality, happiness, and overall well-being in men and women equally.
Cordyceps also boosts physical stamina and endurance. By increasing the blood flow, Cordyceps Militaris enhances the delivery of oxygen to the muscles. Which means you have more stamina and can last longer…in exercise or in bed! ;)
