ShroomTech Sport combines a host of all-natural, competition safe nutrients, led by the traditionally revered Chinese 'caterpillar mushroom' cordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps enjoyed the distinction of being the world's most expensive nutritional supplement for much of the 20th century. Recent advances in cultivation combined with the publicity from the success at the 1993 Beijing national games have increasingly brought it into scientific interest.

Therapeutic applications of Cordyceps and its extracts are hypothesized to be centered primarily on the key effects of increased oxygen utilization, increase cellular ATP production and the stabilization of blood sugar metabolism. An increase in cellular ATP results in an increase in useful energy. This is in contrast to the perceived increase in energy that occurs from the use of CNS stimulants, such as caffeine, ephedrine, and amphetamines, which ultimately results in an energy deficiency. This is a distinct advantage that an ATP focused energy product like ShroomTech Sport has over other 'pre workout' stimulant based formulas. There is a naturally occurring amount of caffeine in the green tea extract found in the formula, guaranteed to be less than 100 mg per dose.
