HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tibet Cordyceps Sinensis by Princess Lifestyle

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.

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 one active ingredient: cordyceps deep-layer cultivated mycelia extract, a fungal compound traditionally used in Asian herbalism. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and includes magnesium stearate as an inactive ingredient.

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 limited. For athletic performance, the data rates it as possibly ineffective.

For sexual dysfunction, asthma, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and heart rhythm problems (arrhythmia), there isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it works. The facts we hold don't support claims about 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 in the short term, though the evidence base is small and product quality varies widely. The most common side effects in research were abdominal discomfort, constipation, and diarrhea — these were uncommon, and some people found symptoms improved by taking it after eating.

One case report described liver inflammation (hepatitis) in a person using a cordyceps product, but it's unclear whether cordyceps or a contaminant was responsible. There isn't enough safety data to recommend this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in those situations.

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 pharmacist or doctor if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin or clopidogrel), immunosuppressants (especially cyclosporine), or testosterone therapy. Cordyceps may increase bleeding risk with anticoagulants, interfere with immune suppressors, and have additive effects with testosterone, though human evidence for these risks is limited.

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 extract is generally well tolerated but has three documented interaction categories with prescription medications, most notably blood thinners and immunosuppressants. The evidence for its effectiveness is weak or absent for the conditions it's marketed for.

If you take anticoagulants, immunosuppressive drugs, or testosterone, check your specific medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without professional guidance.

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.

Tibet Cordyceps Sinensis by Princess Lifestyle: Common Questions

Does Tibet Cordyceps Sinensis by Princess Lifestyle interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tibet Cordyceps Sinensis has a known interaction with 249 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tibet Cordyceps Sinensis 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.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner?
Lab and animal research suggests cordyceps might increase bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, but this hasn't been reported in actual patients. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them — they know your full medical picture and can advise whether it's safe for you.
Is cordyceps safe to use long-term?
The research only covers short-term use of up to one year, and it's generally well tolerated in that window. Long-term safety isn't established, and product quality varies widely, so it's worth discussing ongoing use with your pharmacist.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common ones in research were abdominal discomfort, constipation, and diarrhea — but these were uncommon overall. Some people found symptoms improved by taking it after eating.
Does cordyceps actually improve athletic performance?
The evidence rates cordyceps as possibly ineffective for athletic performance, so there's no solid support that it works for that purpose.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data either way. The facts advise against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What exactly is in this product besides the cordyceps?
The capsule contains gelatin and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients — basically the delivery system and binders.
