Overview
Super Cordyceps is a blend of cordyceps mushroom extract, alkalizing greens, fiber, antioxidants/immune support, probiotics, and enzymes, aiming to provide energy and overall health support. The cordyceps mushroom extract is present at a potentially effective dose. However, the remaining ingredients are part of proprietary blends. The quantity of each ingredient in these blends is not disclosed, making it difficult to assess their individual effectiveness. While the formulation may offer some benefits, the lack of transparency and potential underdosing of the blends limit the certainty of the product's efficacy.
