Abstract
Cordyceps sinesis (Cs) is a Chinese herb extracted from a nontoxic mushroom. Research has shown that this herb increases in ventilation and exercise capacity. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the maximum capacity of transportation and utilization of oxygen during incremental exercise. VO2max is expressed in both absolute rate in liters of oxygen per minute (L/min) and relative rate in milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). Research with Cs has shown to increase vasodilation, which increases the efficiency and rate of delivery of oxygen to the working tissues.
