Scarlet Cordyceps Spagyric Extract

Scarlet Cordyceps is a mushroom with a long history in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine which has recently gained the attention of the Western world.

Scarlet Cordyceps is renowned for its capacity to naturally boost energy, strength, stamina, mood, cognitive function, and libido.
