A single 1-gram dose of Cordyceps militaris extract taken before exercise significantly improved post-exercise reaction time and increased resting oxygen consumption in a new randomized trial. The study, published in *PLoS One*, offers a direct look at how this popular fungus might provide an acute cognitive and metabolic edge. Key Takeaways Acute supplementation with 1g…
Four weeks of treadmill training in a low-oxygen environ (iron bisglycinate)ment led to significantly greater improvements in aerobic fitness for men with lower baseline fitness compared to their fitter peers. A new study by Zhou, Zhu, and Zhang provides a clear, quantified look at how initial fitness levels shape adaptation to hypoxic training. Key Takeaways…
