Manapura’s Cordyceps tinctures are produced in the UK, using only the fruiting body of locally grown mushrooms. We never use any mycelium, or include any artificial additives in our range.

This stands Manapura apart in an industry where poor quality imported ingredients regularly compromise quality.

Our Cordyceps tinctures are also certified organic by the UK Soil Association.

Contains 50ml of dual liquid extract from the fruiting body of Cordyceps mushrooms, water, and organic ethanol (25% ABV).

Note this product contains Alcohol.

Our mushroom extract ratio is 1:3, meaning 1 part mushroom to every 3 parts liquid.

This means our tinctures are stronger than our competitors, which are typically diluted to 1:5 or even 1:8.

Our dual extract process ensures the full spectrum of active components are obained in our tinctures.

Take 1-2 pipettes per day directly under the tongue or in a drink. Effective at any time of day, however we recommend incorporating Cordyceps within your morning regime.

Our tinctures are intentionally free of any non-essential ingredients, resulting in a naturally pure, earthy flavour.

If desired, add to your drink of choice (hot or cold) to tailor the taste.

Organic Cordyceps
£32.00

Cordyceps is a medicinal mushroom with a long history in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine, prized for its ability to boost energy and vitality. It is widely used to enhance physical performance, endurance, and post-exercise recovery.

This powerful fungus contains adenosine, a precursor to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy carrier in cells. By promoting ATP production, Cordyceps helps optimise cellular energy, combat fatigue, and improve oxygen utilisation, which supports stamina and overall vitality. Additionally, it has been shown to enhance lung function, improve circulation, and support immune health.

Cordyceps is also rich in antioxidants and possesses anti-inflammatory properties, further contributing to its wide-ranging benefits. Its ability to naturally enhance endurance and recovery makes it a sought-after supplement for those looking to maintain peak performance, both physically and mentally.

What is Cordyceps, and how does it benefit the body?

Cordyceps is a mushroom known for enhancing energy, endurance, and immune function. Evidence indicates that Cordyceps improve oxygen utilization, and aids muscle recovery. Cordyceps is non-stimulating and caffeine-free, so it supports natural energy without the crash or jitters.

Who can benefit from Cordyceps?

Athletes, active individuals, and anyone looking for natural energy support can benefit — especially those experiencing fatigue, low stamina, or overtraining recovery issues.

What form of Cordyceps is best — capsule, powder, or tincture?

Tinctures like Manapura’s offer faster absorption and higher bioavailability due to dual extraction methods.

What quantities of active components are there in Manapura’s mushroom extracts/tinctures?

Our tinctures contain strictly only the fruiting body of UK mushrooms. This is the part of the mushroom which is richest in active components. We dual extract this fruiting body in both water and ethanol which ensures the full spectrum of active components are obtained. And we use more mushrooms (per volume) than our competitors. So you can be sure Manapura extracts are as pure and effective as they come.

Why is there some sediment visible in my Cordyceps tincture?

We do not filter our liquid extracts using a mesh that is too fine, as evidence suggests that active components like polysaccharides and beta glucans can be removed by excessive filtration. Hence Manapura tinctures are intended to be raw, and as nature intended, for maximum potency.

How should I take Manapura’s Cordyceps liquid extract?

Place 1 pipette of extract directly into the mouth, or add to your morning coffee or chosen drink to adjust the taste.
