Oravita Cordyceps is a standardised extract of Cordyceps sinensis mycelium, 1,100 mg at 40% polysaccharides, for anyone looking for a caffeine-free plant tonic: Cordyceps has a tonic action and supports metabolism, and is useful for the body's natural defences.
You train, you work, you run after a thousand things, and your body no longer recovers like it used to. In the afternoon everything flags and, when the seasons change, you're the first to be knocked out. Cordyceps is the tonic mushroom of the Tibetan plateau: here you find it as a standardised extract, with the part used and the polysaccharide percentage written on the label, plainly.
1,100 mg of dry extract of Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc. mycelium, standardised to 40% polysaccharides, per serving.
Cordyceps extract, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) vegetable capsule, maize starch. Caffeine-free, vegan, lactose-free.
One ingredient, declared down to the last milligram. Here is what it does.
1,100 mg of mycelium extract at 40% polysaccharides per serving. Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) has a tonic action and supports metabolism, and is useful for the function of the upper respiratory tract and for the body's natural defences. In nature it grows at between 3,500 and 5,000 metres and is extremely rare: that is why cultivated mycelium is used, the same species grown under controlled conditions.
Polysaccharides and adenosine are the two families of molecules on which Cordyceps research concentrates. We standardise the polysaccharides to 40%, so the amount is the same in every capsule.
Oravita exists for one thing only: to tell you precisely what is in the bottle. With mushrooms, that makes all the difference.
Here you will find a selection of studies on the ingredients of this formula, with dose and duration. They concern the individual ingredients, not the finished product.
Randomised, double-blind pilot20 healthy adults aged 50-75 (small sample)333 mg 3 times a day (Cs-4)12 weeks
In the Cordyceps group the metabolic threshold rose by 10.5% and the ventilatory threshold by 8.5% during a cycling exercise test; in the placebo group they did not change. Maximal oxygen consumption did not change in either group [1].

No differences from placebo were seen in aerobic capacity and endurance performance. We tell you because trust is worth more than a promise [2].
Reviewmedicinal mushrooms––
A 2023 review describes the bioactive components of medicinal mushrooms, including Ophiocordyceps sinensis (beta-glucans, triterpenes, phenolic compounds, sterols), and stresses that long-term clinical studies are needed to confirm effects and doses [3].
