🙏 Begin with prayer
Prayer is the first remedy, not the last resort. Here is a simple prayer you are welcome to make your own:
Lord Jesus, thank You for cordyceps, once gathered from an unusual wild source and now grown simply for those who need help with stamina and energy. Those who wait on You renew their strength and rise as on eagles' wings, and I ask for that same renewal today. Bless this small support, and give me patience with a body that tires easily. In Jesus' name, Amen.
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”— Isaiah 40:31
🥄 How to use it
Take a cultivated cordyceps extract or powder per the product label; effects, where present, build gradually with regular use rather than a single dose.
⚠️ Cautions
- May affect blood sugar and blood clotting, so use caution with diabetes medication, blood thinners, or before surgery. Its immune-modulating action means those with autoimmune conditions or on immune-suppressing medication should check with a doctor first. Avoid in pregnancy and breastfeeding without medical guidance.
