Why is the Cordyceps mushroom called the athlete’s mushroom? Well, that’s a great question!
Cordyceps gained significant attention during the 1993 Olympics when the Chinese women’s track and field team made headlines for breaking long-standing world records and winning three gold medals. Following much speculation, it was revealed that the athletes had been consuming a daily cordyceps elixir, which sparked interest in the mushroom’s potential performance-enhancing properties.
