Sick of Getting Sick? Cordycepin Is the Secret to Fighting Back

Look, getting sick all the time isn’t just annoying—it’s exhausting. One sniffle turns into a full-blown cold, inflammation lingers, and, suddenly, you’re running on empty. But what if your body could fight back better? That’s where Tro Mune™ by Troscriptions comes in.

At the heart of the Tro Mune™ formula  is 75mg of cordycepin, the powerhouse compound found in cordyceps mushrooms, which has been used for thousands of years for its healing properties. While cordycepin is the most potent compound in the mushroom, it only makes up roughly 0.03% of the mushroom by weight, so you’d have to eat an impossible amount of cordyceps to get the same benefits (Riaño, 2023). Now, thanks to Troscriptions, cordycepin is available in high strength for the first time, concentrated into a little green square (a buccal troche) that’s easy to dissolve or swallow.

What Does Cordycepin Do?

Cordycepin offers a wide range of health benefits, some of which include:

• Crushing inflammation before it slows you down
• Boosting immunity so you stop catching every bug in the room
• Fighting infections and supporting faster recovery
• Protecting your brain (because a sharp mind is non-negotiable)
• Improving metabolic health for better energy and resilience
• Deepening sleep, so you wake up actually feeling restored

Sick of being sick? Tro Mune™ builds real resilience from the inside out—so you stay sharp, strong, and unstoppable.

I’ve been taking half a buccal troche of Tro Mune™ all winter, and a full dose when I travel. Although this is just my experience, I haven’t gotten sick this season, even when everyone around me has. I take it before bed, and because it’s molecularly similar to adenosine—the compound that drives sleep pressure—I fall asleep faster and get noticeably deeper recovery sleep. Win-win.

Dr. Scott Sherr has been taking it nightly for 12 months and recommends:

• For prevention: Half a troche nightly or when you are at higher risk (i.e., sick kids, spouse, traveling, etc.)
• If symptoms arise: Immediately start one full troche for mild to moderate symptoms, or up to 2 troches per night for severe symptoms, for 5 to 7 days.

Cordycepin: A Natural Powerhouse for Inflammation, Immunity, & Beyond

For centuries, traditional Chinese medicine has used cordyceps mushrooms as both food and medicine (Riaño, 2023). However, wild harvesting proved difficult and expensive, as they naturally grow on caterpillar larvae underground. To overcome this challenge, scientists developed artificial cultivation techniques, with C. militaris proving the most viable for large-scale production (Riaño, 2023).

In 1950, researchers isolated cordycepin, a compound with powerful anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anti-cancer properties (Riaño, 2023). While scientists continue to explore its mechanisms, its ability to support immune function, fight infections, and promote overall health is becoming increasingly clear.

Fighting Inflammation & Strengthening Immunity

Cordycepin may help reduce inflammation by lowering levels of pro-inflammatory mediators, making it a promising candidate for conditions like asthma and atopic dermatitis (Riaño, 2023). Additionally, it has demonstrated antiviral properties against viruses like dengue, Epstein-Barr, hepatitis C, and even SARS-CoV-2 by inhibiting viral replication (Riaño, 2023).

Cordycepin as an Antiviral & Anti-Cancer Agent

Cordycepin’s ability to disrupt DNA and RNA synthesis makes it a potent antiviral and anti-cancer agent. It can slow tumor growth, induce cancer cell death (apoptosis), and enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin (Riaño, 2023). Research suggests it may also have therapeutic applications for radiation ulcers and liver disease (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis).

Cordycepin for Wound Healing & Sleep

Studies show that cordycepin accelerates wound healing by stimulating fibroblast cell migration, crucial for skin regeneration (Riaño, 2023). This effect is linked to pathways essential for tissue repair.

Additionally, cordycepin improves sleep by mimicking adenosine’s effects, promoting deeper NREM sleep and reducing wakefulness—offering a natural, non-habit-forming solution for better rest (Riaño, 2023).

Final Takeaway

From reducing inflammation and fighting infections to supporting brain health, aiding wound healing, and improving sleep, cordycepin is a powerhouse compound with wide-ranging benefits. Whether you’re looking to strengthen immunity, recover faster, or optimize long-term health, cordycepin is a science-backed, natural solution worth exploring.
