Cordyceps militaris. Full-spectrum. Grown in Canada.
Evolution Series
Cordyceps, taken further.
Canadian-grown. Standardized. 2025 Cordy Cup winner.
Cordyceps is the mushroom people reach for when the day asks more than they have — long shifts, hard training, thin air. Its primary bioactive compound is cordycepin, and most cordyceps products never tell you how much of it they contain.
Power Cordyceps does. Purica’s first strain-development program set out to find and cultivate the cordyceps strains richest in cordycepin, then standardize the result at more than 3 mg/g. Grown in Canada, fermented in solid state, and kept whole — mycelium, fruiting body, and everything released along the way.
Who benefits & why
Made for more than athletes.
Hard training is one use case, not the whole story. Clean, sustained energy matters anywhere the day asks more — long workdays, active weekends, and keeping up with the people you love.
Athletes & active individuals
Another gear to find. Support for sustained energy and reduced oxidative stress through training blocks, long climbs and race days.
Energy-seekers
Vitality that doesn’t spike. Clean, sustained energy through the whole day instead of the caffeine-fuelled spikes and crashes that borrow against tomorrow.
Immune support
Innate and adaptive. Support across both arms of the immune system, with cordycepin as part of the full-spectrum Power Cordyceps matrix.
Aging adults
Keeping up, and then some. Maintain the energy and activity levels you already have — whether that means training for a 10K or keeping up with grandchildren at the park.
Power Cordyceps
Purica Power Cordyceps is a Canadian-grown full-spectrum Cordyceps militaris matrix standardized to more than 3 mg/g cordycepin — the most studied compound in cordyceps. Solid-state fermentation captures the whole fungal lifecycle, for clean, steady energy through long days and hard training without the crash of a stimulant.

Non-medicinal ingredients:
Silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate (plant source), hypromellose.
Cautions and warnings:
Consult a TCM health care practitioner prior to use if you suffer from external pathogens; if you have any lung or kidney problems and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen. Discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner if you have any allergy to cordyceps, molds, or a fungi hypersensitivity or if you experience irregular menstruation, amenorrhea or edema following ingestion of this substance. Store in a cool dry place, away from children. Do not use if safety seal is broken.
They are two different strains of the same mushroom, grown for two different reasons.
Purica Cordyceps uses the cultivated Cs-4 strain — the long-standing choice for traditional daily cordyceps support.
Power Cordyceps uses CordyFuel™: Cordyceps militaris, grown by solid-state fermentation from strains selected specifically for cordycepin, the most studied compound in cordyceps. Every batch is standardized above 3 mg/g and assayed at 3.31 mg/g, alongside 57% polysaccharides and 52% beta-glucans.
If you want the potency printed rather than implied, this is the one.
- Athletes and active people — natural support for energy, oxygen carrying capacity and reduced oxidative stress.
- Energy-seekers — clean, sustained vitality through the day instead of caffeine-fuelled spikes and crashes.
- Anyone wanting immune support — across both the innate and adaptive arms.
- Aging adults — holding on to energy and activity levels, whether that means training for a 10K or keeping up with grandchildren at the park.
Traditionally, cordyceps was reserved for emperors and prized as an age-defying tonic. It is a good deal easier to get hold of now.
Traditional use and folklore
High up on what Tibetans call the roof of the world, herders noticed a surge in the vitality and stamina of their yaks each spring and summer. The animals had been grazing on strange high-altitude "grasses." Curious, the herders began gathering and eating them too.
The grasses were not grasses at all, but what the world now knows as cordyceps. Documented in traditional texts centuries ago, it rose quickly in Tibetan and Chinese medicine, and was eventually named one of the Three Great Tonics of Traditional Chinese Medicine — used to tonify the lungs, support the kidneys and replenish vital energy.
Purica’s Canadian cultivation team carries that history forward in CordyFuel™: an award-winning Cordyceps militaris matrix built by watching how these mushrooms actually grow, and keeping the whole lifecycle rather than a single extracted fraction.
The historical and folklore notes above are cultural context for the traditional use of cordyceps. They are educational, and are not intended to diagnose or to imply modern therapeutic treatment for any condition. Approved health claims for this product are those carried under its NPN.
Why Power Cordyceps
Built strain-first.
Purica has spent years making full-spectrum mushrooms for practitioners. Power Cordyceps is the first to begin with the strain itself — and it took the 2025 International Cordy Cup.
01
A strain, not just a species
Most cordyceps supplements name a species and stop there. Power Cordyceps started one step earlier — a search for the individual strains that produce the most cordycepin, then cultivated for that trait.
02
Solid-state fermentation
Grown on a solid substrate rather than in liquid, so the mycelium, the fruiting body and the compounds released into the medium all finish in the same jar.
03
Grown in Canada
Cultivated by Purica’s own team under conditions held steady from one run to the next — which is what makes a standardized number possible in the first place.
