Cordyceps Mushroom Molecule Prolongs Lifespan If Taken At Correct Time of Day, New Study Shows
Highlights:
- When started at a human equivalent of about 50 years old, Cordycepin prolongs the lifespan of mice by about 12% and counteracts age-related weight gain.
- Strength, memory, and heart function were also improved by cordycepin supplementation.
- Supplementing with cordycepin targets the underlying drivers of aging, such as inflammation, and improves circadian rhythms.
- Mechanism: Restoring circadian rhythms in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus reverses aging biomarkers and extends lifespan in male mice.
Note: Per the following article, it would likely be best to take it as soon as you wake up in the morning. And it would need to be a liposomal formulation because the relevant constituent, cordycepin, has very low oral bioavailability. I did find a liposomal product (contains almond). At the dosage recommended on the label it would be about $45 per month with Amazon “subscribe and save.”
