HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Cordyceps Mushroom 100 : 1 Powder by Micro Ingredients

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 Aug 27, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains a single active ingredient: organic cordyceps mushroom in a concentrated 100:1 powder form, meaning the mushroom has been processed to concentrate its compounds. There are no other active ingredients — only inert carriers.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Cordyceps product and its label doesn't state a use — see Cordyceps's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for cordyceps is mixed and mostly inconclusive. For athletic performance, the data suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For sexual dysfunction, asthma, arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and lung cancer, there simply isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works or doesn't. If you're considering this for one of those purposes, talk it over with your doctor about whether the current evidence supports a trial.

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, and most people don't report side effects. When they do occur, the most common are mild digestive complaints — abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, or constipation — and these often ease if you take it with food.

Dry mouth and throat discomfort have also been reported but are uncommon. There is one case report of liver inflammation (cholestasis) in a person taking a cordyceps product, though it's unclear whether cordyceps itself or a contaminant was responsible; the person recovered after stopping the supplement.

Product quality varies widely, which adds uncertainty. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Not enough safety data exists.

The facts advise against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're in either situation.

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 taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel) — cordyceps may increase bleeding risk. Also flag any immunosuppressants (such as cyclosporine) that you're taking, as cordyceps may interfere with their effectiveness.

If you take testosterone supplements or therapy, mention this product as well.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Cordyceps is generally well tolerated short-term, but it does interact with blood thinners, immune-suppressing drugs, and potentially testosterone therapy — and evidence for most health claims is weak or absent. If you take any prescription medications, especially anticoagulants or immunosuppressants, check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Product quality also varies, so sourcing matters.

organic Cordyceps3 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.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Cordyceps Mushroom 100 : 1 Powder contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does cordyceps really boost athletic performance?
The evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective for athletic performance. While it's a popular supplement among athletes, the research doesn't back up the hype — so manage your expectations if that's why you're considering it.
What side effects might I see?
Most people tolerate it fine, especially short-term. If you do have side effects, they're usually mild digestive issues — upset stomach, diarrhea, or constipation — and often improve if you take it with food. Dry mouth and throat discomfort have also been reported but are uncommon.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data to know either way, and the current guidance advises against it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation to make a decision that's right for you.
Is there anything in this powder besides cordyceps?
No — this product is cordyceps only, with no other active ingredients or fillers. Just the mushroom extract.
How long can I safely take cordyceps?
The research shows cordyceps is generally well tolerated for up to one year. Beyond that, the safety data isn't established, so check with your pharmacist or doctor if you're thinking of using it longer.
