HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cordyceps Powder by Om Mushroom Superfood

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Oct 1, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Certified Organic Mushroom Powder Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (2 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains a single active ingredient: Certified Organic Mushroom Powder Blend centered on cordyceps mushroom. The inactive ingredient is myceliated oats (a filler and carrier).

Cordyceps is a fungus traditionally used to support energy and stamina, though its clinical effectiveness remains limited.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Cordyceps's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports energy power endurance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Fatigue, stamina, endurance performance.
  • The closest evidence on file: Cordyceps is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Athletic performance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Cordyceps is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fatigue.

The evidence for cordyceps is thin across most uses. Athletic performance is rated possibly ineffective.

For sexual dysfunction, asthma, arrhythmia, COPD, and lung cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works or not. In other words, we don't have solid clinical data showing cordyceps delivers real benefit for any of these conditions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cordyceps

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Cordyceps is generally well tolerated when used for up to a year, though safety data overall is limited and product quality varies widely. The most common side effects are mild — abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, and throat discomfort — and these are uncommon.

Taking it after eating may reduce them. There is one case report of liver inflammation (hepatitis) possibly linked to a cordyceps product, though the cause wasn't certain and the person recovered once they stopped.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so the advice is to avoid it. The same holds for breastfeeding — there's insufficient data to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether to use it while nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Cordyceps

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Cordyceps.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 249 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this cordyceps powder, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or aspirin) — cordyceps may increase bleeding risk. Also double-check if you take immunosuppressants like cyclosporine, which cordyceps might interfere with.

If you're on testosterone therapy, mention this supplement to your doctor so they can watch for additive effects.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Cordyceps is a traditional supplement used mainly for energy and stamina, but clinical evidence for its effectiveness is limited. It can interact with blood thinners, immunosuppressants, and testosterone therapy.

If you take any of those medications — or anything else by prescription — check it against this product with the tool below before you start. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to decide if it's right for you.

Cordyceps, Powder 3 drug types · 249 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, cordyceps may increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that cordyceps extract inhibits platelet aggregation and function. However, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Animal and in vitro research suggests that cordyceps stimulates the immune system. However, limited clinical research suggests that taking cordyceps may lower the necessary therapeutic dose of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine, which suggests that cordyceps may have an immunosuppressive effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Testosterone

Theoretically, concurrent use of cordyceps and testosterone might have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that cordyceps can increase testosterone levels. The clinical significance of this finding is unclear.
