Cordyceps militaris beverage containing cordycepin showed modest NK cell activity increases and reductions in IL-1β and IL-6 in a small RCT (n=20, PMID: 38580687). Cordyceps-based capsules (YChCC) reduced acute exacerbation frequency and prolonged time to first exacerbation in COPD patients compared to an active comparator, though lung function parameters were unchanged (PMID: 41295088). Topical Cordyceps extract improved melasma severity comparably to hydroquinone cream with fewer adverse reactions (PMID: 40590148).
