Acceptable Acceptable for beginners; those seeking maximum ergosterol values should choose a fruiting body product.

Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 5.0/10

Mixed evidence base; few high-quality RCTs available.

Value for money 8.0/10

€0.36 per serving for 750 mg is attractive.

Product quality 7.0/10

US GMP facility, but mycelium rather than fruiting body.

Label honesty 7.0/10

Correctly declares mycelium on rice substrate.

Third-party testing 6.0/10

NOW tests each batch internally; external certificates are rare.

Product Description

NOW Foods cultivates Cordyceps mycelium in a fermenter. The powder is filled under nitrogen and contains no additives beyond rice extract.

What We Like

  • High serving count
  • Very moderate price
  • GMP-certified facility

What We’re Missing

  • Mycelium has lower cordycepin levels than fruiting body
  • Capsules are fairly large

Usage Recommendation

1–2 capsules before exercise or in the morning. Can be combined with coffee as it contains no stimulants.

Ingredient dossier

Cordyceps is marketed for energy and endurance. The evidence is intriguing but mixed—no strong support for major performance claims.
