Cordyceps Complex
Fungiology by California Gold Nutrition
Overview
The Cordyceps Complex contains a blend of Cordyceps militaris and Cordyceps sinensis, both recognized for their potential health benefits, particularly in renal and respiratory function. While the combination of two species is a positive aspect, the exact concentration of active compounds within the 600mg blend is not fully disclosed, which makes it difficult to ascertain optimal dosing for all potential benefits.
The Good
Combines two forms of Cordyceps (militaris and sinensis) known for diverse benefits.
Organic blend enhances quality perception and reduces pesticide exposure concerns.
Cordyceps is generally well-tolerated with a good safety profile for most healthy individuals.
The Bad
The total dose of 600mg for the 'Organic Cordyceps Blend' is lower than effective doses used in many human clinical trials (typically 1-3g daily).
Lack of standardization for active compounds (e.g., cordycepin, beta-glucans) in the blend makes efficacy assessment difficult.
The term 'Organic Cordyceps Blend' does not specify the ratio of C. militaris to C. sinensis.
