It is prized in traditional Chinese medicine for its alleged health benefits, including boosting energy, improving endurance and respiratory function, and increasing libido. It is also used as an adaptogen, a substance that is believed to help the body adapt to stress. Cordyceps militaris is available in supplement form, such as capsules and powder, and is sometimes added to teas and other beverages. It is also used in some traditional medicine practices and is being studied for its potential health benefits.
