The Claim
In aged rats, administration of Cordyceps militaris extract (125 mg/kg) and alpha-lipoic acid (50 mg/kg) for three months is associated with a 3.2-fold increase in rotarod fall-off time and a 2-fold increase in locomotor activity.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Aged rats given Cordyceps militaris extract and alpha-lipoic acid for three months showed a 3.2-fold increase in time spent on a rotating rod and a 2-fold increase in movement, indicating improved motor coordination and physical endurance.
See the scientific wording
In aged rats, the combination of Cordyceps militaris extract (125 mg/kg) and alpha-lipoic acid (50 mg/kg) for three months is associated with a 3.2-fold increase in rotarod fall-off time and a 2-fold increase in locomotor activity, indicating improved motor coordination and physical endurance.
The body's natural defenses against cell damage get stronger, which stops harmful molecules from building up and causing inflammation in the brain. This protects nerve cells from dying, keeps communication between nerves working properly, and allows the brain to control movement better, making the animal more balanced and active.
What the research says
1 studyIn older rats, taking this specific mix of two natural substances for three months made them much better at staying on a spinning rod and moving around more, which means their balance and energy improved.
