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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: cordyceps and rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) root extract. Cordyceps is a fungus traditionally used to support athletic performance, though current evidence rates it as possibly ineffective for that purpose and insufficient for other claimed uses like sexual dysfunction and asthma.

Rhodiola root extract is an herb with insufficient evidence to support claims for altitude sickness, anxiety, arrhythmia, athletic performance, and other conditions. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and gelatin — that serve as binders and fillers to form the capsule itself.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: mental stamina and mental focus support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Athletic performance, Fatigue, Stress, Depression, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), cognitive performance — and 2 related terms.
  • 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.
  • Also on file: Rhodiola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Athletic performance, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Depression, and more.

The evidence for both ingredients is limited. Cordyceps is rated possibly ineffective for athletic performance and has insufficient reliable evidence for sexual dysfunction, arrhythmia, asthma, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Rhodiola carries insufficient evidence for altitude sickness, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), arrhythmia, athletic performance, and bladder cancer. Neither ingredient has established effectiveness for its marketed claims in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cordyceps Rhodiola

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Both cordyceps and rhodiola are generally well tolerated short-term, though long-term safety data are limited. Cordyceps may cause abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, or throat discomfort — these are uncommon and may improve if you take it after eating.

Rhodiola commonly causes dizziness or changes in saliva production (dry mouth or excess saliva). A rare case report linked cordyceps to liver inflammation (hepatitis), though whether cordyceps or a contaminant caused it remains unclear.

Neither ingredient should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Cordyceps, Rhodiola.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,326 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 Rhodiola With Cordyceps, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications — rhodiola may lower blood pressure further. Blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) warrant caution with cordyceps, which may theoretically increase bleeding risk.

Immune-suppressing medications may be affected by both ingredients. Also confirm any diabetes drugs, losartan (Cozaar), and medications metabolized by your liver — rhodiola can interfere with how they're processed.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Rhodiola With Cordyceps might appeal to someone seeking a traditional energy or performance support supplement, but the evidence for either ingredient is weak. More importantly, this product interacts with blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, diabetes medications, immune suppressants, and several enzyme-processed drugs — anyone taking prescription medications should check their exact list with their own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have heart, blood-clotting, or liver concerns, discuss this product with your healthcare provider first.

Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) root extract10 drug types · 1,271 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract can decrease blood glucose due to alpha-glucosidase activity.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and might lower blood pressure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP2C9. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. Also, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, rhodiola use might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro and animal research show that rhodiola has immunostimulatory effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Losartan (Cozaar)

Rhodiola might increase the levels and adverse effects of losartan.
A clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits P-glycoprotein. Theoretically, using rhodiola with P-glycoprotein substrates might increase drug levels and potentially increase the risk of adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidepressant Drugs

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with antidepressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of tachyarrhythmias, myalgia, arthralgia, gum pain, restless leg syndrome, swallowing disorders, and changes in consciousness when rhodiola was taken in combination with paroxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline, trazodone, and/or duloxetine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with CNS depressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of excessive sedation, myoclonus, hypotension, and hallucinations when rhodiola was taken with haloperidol, diazepam, or alprazolam.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP1A2. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP3A4. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate.

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.

Rhodiola With Cordyceps by Nature's Harmony: Common Questions

Does Rhodiola With Cordyceps by Nature's Harmony interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Rhodiola With Cordyceps has a known interaction with 1,325 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Rhodiola With Cordyceps contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Will this work for athletic performance?
Cordyceps is rated possibly ineffective for athletic performance, and rhodiola has insufficient evidence. The data we hold don't support claims for either ingredient in boosting exercise performance.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against it — there isn't enough information about either cordyceps or rhodiola during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
What side effects should I watch for?
Cordyceps may cause abdominal discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, or throat discomfort — usually mild and often manageable by taking it after eating. Rhodiola commonly causes dizziness or changes in saliva production.
Is cordyceps the same as the mushroom powders I see online?
Cordyceps is a fungus, yes, but the products vary widely in quality and strength. This product's cordyceps extract is one form, though the safety and potency of different cordyceps products are not always consistent.
How long can I safely take this?
Cordyceps has been studied safely for up to 1 year, but long-term data for rhodiola are limited. For how long it's right for you personally, talk with your pharmacist or doctor.
