Re: Cordyceps Mushrooms

It depends on what you buy. For example, Aloha's cordyceps is 5X more potent than wild cordyceps in Tibet. Thus, one capsule is over 2.5g of dried herb.

At my worst, I took 6 pills a day -- no ill effects, but not necessary, either. From what I've heard, even higher doses are just too strong for most people. At least when it comes to Aloha.

Also, I don't know if cordyceps was ever eaten as a regular food. I know it's cooked with duck to increase potency of the cordyceps, but again, I think that's for the therapeutic value.
