Enhance Your Endurance?

A recent study presented at the annual meeting of The American College of Sports Medicine (Southwest Chapter) in Salt Lake City confirmed that the nutritional supplement CordyMax® Cs-4® can enhance endurance and exercise performance. CordyMax® Cs-4®, marketed by Pharmanex, contains a specific strain of the traditional Chinese herb, Cordyceps sinensis, which has been advocated for centuries to reduce fatigue, support healthy lung function and promote stamina and vitality. Conducted at the Center for Clinical and Lifestyle Research (CCLR), Shrewsbury, Mass., the study was directed by James M. Rippe, M.D., director of CCLR, and associate professor of medicine (Cardiology) at Tufts University, Shawn Talbott, Ph.D., senior scientist in new product development and nutrition research at Pharmanex, and Joshua Zhu, M.D., Ph.D., director of pharmacology and clinical affairs at Pharmanex.

In the double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the endurance effects of CordyMax® Cs-4® were tested on 110 healthy, sedentary adults randomly assigned to receive either CordyMax® Cs-4® or placebo capsules. During the 12-week trial, the subjects' exercise performance and maximal oxygen consumption were measured using a standard bicycle ergometer protocol as well as a one-mile walking test. Those subjects taking CordyMax® Cs-4® during the 12-week trial significantly increased their overall maximal oxygen consumption by 5.5 percent. The work output on the bicycle ergometer was increased by 2.8 percent and the time to complete a one-mile walk was reduced by 20 seconds by those subjects taking Cs-4. Overall, this data on CordyMax® Cs-4® confirms previous findings in animals, elderly subjects and elite athletes, showing a metabolic effect to improve oxygen consumption, energy metabolism and endurance performance.

About Cordyceps sinensis
The mushroom Cordyceps sinensis, which produces the proprietary active ingredient in CordyMax® Cs-4®, has a rich two thousand-year history. For generations, Cordyceps sinensis has been considered the premier agent in the Chinese culture for resting energy, promoting longevity and improving the quality of life. This natural material is extremely rare. The mushroom grows primarily on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau at altitudes above 14,000 feet. It takes five to seven years for the mushroom to complete its life cycle and produce the natural product. Due to the scarcity and high price of Cordyceps sinensis, its use was reserved exclusively for the Emperor's Palace. For two thousand years, Cordyceps sinensis was virtually unknown to the Western world.
