Cordyceps 525 mg
Aloha Medicinals
Overview
This Cordyceps supplement contains two well-regarded species, *C. sinensis* and *C. militaris*, which have research supporting various health benefits including energy, athletic performance, and immune support. However, its effectiveness is limited by the use of a proprietary blend, which prevents knowing the exact amounts of each Cordyceps species, and thus whether they are at clinically effective doses. While the label guarantees 300mg of polysaccharides (60%) per capsule, the ratio of the two Cordyceps species is unknown, making it difficult to ascertain optimal dosing for specific outcomes.

Guaranteed minimum polysaccharide content (300mg per capsule) suggests active compounds are present.
The Bad

The specific ratio of *Cordyceps Sinensis* to *Cordyceps Militaris* is undisclosed, making it difficult to target specific benefits relying on one species more than the other.
Limited conclusive scientific evidence for all claimed benefits in humans; many studies are preclinical.
