Are you frustrated with pre-workout supplements that taste like chalk and leave you bouncing off the walls one minute and crashing the next? In the ever-evolving landscape of fitness and wellness, the search for the perfect pre-workout supplement continues. While many products flood the market with promises of energy boosts and enhanced performance, few stand out for their natural ingredients and effective results.
An article in Times.com suggests that a significant risk with pre-workout supplements is that they may contain ingredients not listed on the label, including illegal substances with known health risks.(1) Additionally, a 2021 study examining 30 different commercially available sports supplements revealed that over one-third contained traces of anabolic steroids.(2)
But fear not! Introducing the best natural pre-workout, DIRTEA Cordyceps Gummies, a game-changer in the realm of fitness and supplementation. In this article, we'll explore why these gummies are the go-to choice for sports enthusiasts seeking a natural and potent boost before hitting the gym or the trails.
What are Cordyceps Gummies?
DIRTEA Cordyceps Gummies are infused with Cordyceps extract and offer an unbelievable taste profile that naturally boosts your energy. Who says pre-workout fuel has to taste bland or medicinal? With DIRTEA Cordyceps Gummies, you'll enjoy a burst of juicy Mixed Berries flavour in every bite. Made with natural fruit flavours and 0g sugar, these gummies are a treat for your taste buds.
Cordyceps have long been revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine for their adaptogenic properties, which aid in endurance, energy levels, and overall vitality.(3) They were also historically used to boost sexual performance in men and women. These gummies provide a high dosage of Cordyceps mushroom extract, offering a convenient and delicious way to incorporate this powerful ingredient into your fitness routine.

Packed Full of Vitamins
DIRTEA Cordyceps Gummies are packed full of Vitamins C, B5, and B3. Here’s how these vitamins contribute to your overall health and fitness:
- Vitamin C: Vital for boosting the immune system, promoting skin health, and supporting heart health.
- Vitamin B5: Plays a crucial role in fostering the production of blood cells and converting nutrients from food into usable energy.
- Vitamin B3: Essential for energy production and helps diminish feelings of tiredness and fatigue.
Natural Energy Boost
Unlike synthetic pre-workout supplements loaded with caffeine and artificial stimulants, DIRTEA Cordyceps Gummies harness the natural energy-boosting properties of cordyceps. This mushroom contains a unique compound called Cordycepin, which enhances vitality and vigour. Coupled with the B vitamins, it supports workout fatigue. Bid farewell to jitters and crashes associated with traditional pre-workout formulas and hello to sustained, natural energy that powers you through your exercise session. Cordyceps is rapidly gaining popularity among athletes and fitness enthusiasts for its purported ability to support exercise performance and recovery.

The Science behind Cordyceps
Cordyceps has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, particularly in East Asia. The two main species used in supplements are Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris. We use both at DIRTEA. For our pure powder and super blends, we use Cordyceps militaris. For our DIRTEA Gummies, we use sinensis.
Cordyceps have a long history of use in boosting energy, stamina, and overall health. They contain several bioactive compounds, including nucleosides (e.g., adenosine and cordycepin), polysaccharides, sterols, and cyclic peptides. These compounds are believed to contribute to the health benefits associated with Cordyceps, such as enhancing athletic performance, and boosting the immune system.
How does Cordyceps Enhance Athletic Performance?
One of the primary reasons Cordyceps is popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts is its potential to enhance athletic performance. Research suggests that Cordyceps improves the way the body uses oxygen, particularly during exercise.
A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that Cordyceps supplementation significantly improved exercise performance in older adults.(4) Another study in HHS Author Manuscript reported that acute supplementation with a Cordyceps militaris mushroom blend may enhance tolerance to high-intensity exercise, with even greater benefits potentially achieved through consistent, long-term use.(5)
Cordyceps and Recovery
Not only does Cordyceps improve performance during exercise, but it also plays a crucial role in recovery. The adaptogenic properties of Cordyceps help the body adapt to stress and reduce the physical and mental toll of intense workouts. This means faster recovery times, less muscle soreness, and better overall workout experiences.
Incorporating DIRTEA Cordyceps Gummies into your post-workout routine can help alleviate fatigue and enhance muscle recovery, allowing you to get back to your training regimen more quickly and with less discomfort.
