Summary
Cordycepin is the main compound in the parasitic fungus cordyceps that exerts numerous effects on immune health, respiratory health, energy, stamina, libido, and more. It has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and recently we've discovered the exact mechanisms of how it exerts its beneficial effects. Dr Scott Sherr, COO of Troscriptions, returns to the show to talk about the various applications of supplementing cordycepin. He talks about how its an adenosine analog, high dosing it, its effects on improving sleep, its effect on decreasing inflammation, how it could help with infection, its effect on mTOR, how it can help counter negative effects from caffeine, and at the end I ask him some questions about methylene blue.
