According to a study, chronic supplementation of a mushroom blend at 4 grams per day may improve VO2 max, increase time to exhaustion, and augment peak power during high-intensity aerobic exercise. Another study found that daily PeakO2 supplementation for 3 weeks in young, recreationally active adults improved their endurance.
The recommended dosage for Peak O2 (Mushroom Blend) is 4 grams per day. As with any supplement, it can cause side effects in some individuals. The most common side effects include digestive upset, headaches, and allergic reactions in those with allergies to mushrooms.
