Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Cordycepic acids, which are bioactive compounds found in the fungus Cordyceps sinensis and related species, have been traditionally used in Chinese and Tibetan medicine to support various aspects of health, including the reproductive system. Historical records and traditional herbal texts often describe Cordyceps as a tonic that can enhance vitality, sexual function, and fertility in both men and women. These claims are rooted in centuries of usage as an adaptogen and restorative agent, particularly for people experiencing fatigue or age-related decline. However, when it comes to scientific evidence specifically linking cordycepic acids (or Cordyceps extracts) to reproductive health, the data remains limited and mostly preclinical. Some animal studies suggest that Cordyceps may improve testosterone levels, sperm quality, or ovarian function, but these findings have not been robustly confirmed in human clinical trials. Thus, while the traditional use of Cordycepic acids for supporting the reproductive system is well documented, scientific validation remains insufficient. The traditional rating is moderate (2/5) because the historical use is strong, but direct evidence—especially in humans—is lacking.
