NOW Supplements, Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis)750 mg, Healthy Immune Support*, 90 Veg Capsules...

I take two as a pre workout and they never fail to deliver. I have tried less expensive brands only to quickly return to NOW.

I'll keep on buying this supplement cause Now Foods has the best Cordyceps. You'll get your money's worth, and feel the great benefits of using this supplement.

I have been told to take these pills especially from NOW brand for boosting my immunity. I cannot confirm it works for intended purpose but no side effects.

This is likely militaris but definitely not sinensis.

This product works exactly as advertised. Cordyceps has improved my energy more than any supplement I have ever tried and I have literally tried dozens. There are over 400 different species of the Cordyceps fungus available. This type was suggested to me by my Doctor of Chinese Medicine for Lupus. Lupus is a non-transmittable, auto-immune disease that can be very debilitating. Fatigue is a huge problem for people with autoimmunity. If you are looking for a quick fix, this is not the product for you. Cordyceps is it is not a temporary, quick acting stimulant like coffee. This supplement helps your body to make a long-term change in energy level. Although the benefits can be felt after a few days, this is not a product you can take to get you through a long day. Unlike caffeine or other stimulants, Cordyceps brings on a sort of a gradual increase in energy/mood/clarity. There is no feeling like that which comes with a double shot of espresso. Because of this gradual effect, there is no 'come down' when it 'wears off'. Nor is there a jittery feeling when it 'kicks in'. To me, I just realized one day that I wasn't as tired as I usually am. It really feels as though my body is in it's natural state, not altered by a chemical. If you are skeptical, there is a lot of research available about this fungi. Also, they have been using Cordyceps in Asia for thousands of years. If still not convinced, do a thirty day trial and see if you notice a gradual change in your energy or focus. You might be very happy you did. PROS: See above: It works, no side effects, no drug interactions, not expensive, a reliable-quality brand. CONS: Odor. All brands have a strong smell, this one is less offensive than others I have tried. Tablet size. They are a little on the larger side, but not unmanageable. PS Be sure this is best species of Cordyceps for your particular need.
