Why this scored 58/100
Cordyceps militaris and Cordyceps sinensis have a modest but real evidence base for exercise-tolerance and VO2max improvements at typical doses of 1000-3000 mg/day of fruiting body or CS-4 mycelium — most notably in the Chen 2010 and Hirsch 2017 trials. The gummy delivery format is convenient but usually caps dose at 500-1000 mg per serving, which sits at the low end of studied protocols and requires 3-6 gummies per day to reach evidence-based levels. Bulkessentials does not publish the specific Cordyceps species, whether fruiting body or mycelium is used, beta-glucan or cordycepin standardization percentages, or third-party COAs. Sugar content in gummy formats is a real formulation drag on an 'energy' claim. Scored Standard because Cordyceps as an ingredient has legitimate research support, but users should read the label for actual per-gummy mg content before committing.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
