The evidence in words
Safety profile
Generally safe.
Interactions to respect
No major interactions are on record for Cordyceps at typical doses, but tell your clinician about everything you take.
What Cordyceps is
Cordyceps (militaris or the fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis) is a mushroom marketed for aerobic performance and vitality.
The honest bottom line
Trendy but thin. The endurance claims aren't backed by solid human data; spend your supplement budget elsewhere.
