nice review of the science on Cordyceps sinensis.

cordyceps sinensis and lactate

Mouse model finds that Cordyceps increased the interval to exhaustive exercise induced oxidative stress.  SOD, Cat, and GPx were increased in the low, intermediate, and high dose Cordyceps groups.  Oxidative stress markers MDA and 8-OHdG were lower in all groups

mouse model finds cordyceps improves exercise endurance.  This has, largely, not translated to human studies, though very few studies are available.  

Cordyceps improved lactate threshold and improved exercise performance in healthy, older people.  The dosing was 333mg TID.

Study finds no improvement in performance with Cordyceps over 5 weeks of treatment.  This study looked at endurance performance via VO2 max.

Cordyceps supplementation at 200 mg/kg/day improves exercise endurance capacity.  Parameters found: angiogenesis, improved glucose uptake, improved lactate uptake.  This occurred in both those rats in the exercise arm and those in the non-exercise arm.

Cordyceps increased Testosterone, Estradiol, sperm count and motility in mouse model.

Cordyceps Sinensis improves insulin/glucose control
