I have had asthma for 37 years and get chronic broncitis. I am taking strong asthma prescription meds, including Theophyline, Singulair, Albuterol, and Advair (highest dose one). I was getting sicker with asthma and with a low immune system and chronic asthma related broncitis. I've been taking other herbs for my asthma which help but not enough. I just started taking Cordycepts 3 weeks ago and ...

Serious problems with blood clotting. Ex cut his finger and had to keep a compress on it for almost an hour to stop the bleeding. The bleeding was unexpectedly heavy. I do not recommend taking any miracle cures or supplements that have not been medically proven to work. Don't believe the hype of the salesmen. It didnt help her with covid either, she went through it getting still very seriously ill.

Took Cordyceps tincture for approximately 1-2 weeks when my feet became itchy and it traveled to my hands with swelling. I can't sleep due to the constant itch. Assumed it would disappear after the Cordyceps left my body, but it has been over a week now. I'm living on Ibuprofen for its anti-inflammatory effects. Minimal information regarding allergic reaction,

My dad bought it for us to take daily to prevent covid by using it immunity boosting properties. I took it for about 5 days and I noticed I was unusually aroused. I stopped taking it immediately and the symptoms went away. Idk what to say to him so I just pretend to have alr took it or "forget" to take it. ie. I'm 19F and side effects is noticeable increased sexual nature. It's very unwanted for me but this info might be useful to others. ps there was no option for immune so I just chose the side effects.

My creatinine built up slowly over the years and reached 1.2 which is consider marginally abnormal. My integrative doctor advised me to take the powder of cordyceps. After 2 months, the creatinine gradually dropped to 1.0 and remained there since.

I´ll be brief, though my case is/was a bit complex; on hemodyalisis for 10 months because of CKD, my Oct. 5 blood sample reading for creatinine was 9.2. It was always rising, untill on Oct. 20 I began taking 250mgs of Cordyceps, plus 300mgs of Astragalus. On the Nov. 5 blood sample, my creatinine was 5.3! and the urea very low, with compliment by the doctor. I must say that the 2 supplements above account for my improvement. I am transitioning to PD, and expect to, hopefully, do the PD when needed only, since Creatinine and Urea are my main issues. So happy!!Read More Read Less

Amazed to see this had so many uses other than the one a friend gave it to me for. You get the most surprisingly strong boners on the slightest sexual thought, and the sexual act can be prolonged also. Although unwanted boners in the middle of an office are not ideal. The effects last day-round and not just after the 'pill' is taken.

I was experiencing frequent heart palpitations and read an article stating 1500 mgs. daily might help to alleviate the problem, so I gave it a try. It's been a year now and the palpitations are almost non-existent.

My Holistic physician gave me this supplement to improve my breathing and my immune status. I however noticed a terrible rash all over my body and my face, which was extremely itchy. I also felt like something was crawling all over me. I have stopped taking this supplement.
