OMOrganic Mushroom Superfood Powder, Cordyceps, 100 Servings, Energy and Endurance Support Supplement, 7.05 Ounce (Pack of 1)

This product is amazing. I have been taking it for a few weeks now. The first several days to a week (maybe even closer to 2 weeks), it made me feel absolutely miserable. Headaches, exhaustion, etc. Apparently this happens as it flushes toxins out of your body. After that time, I have had a dramatic increase in energy, and seen a big decrease in my symptoms related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (from the mono virus).Update: I have been taking a scoop of this daily in my herbal tea for over two years now. I suffered for 12 years with chronic fatigue syndrome due to a case of mononucleosis I caught in college. Couldn't exercise, horrible headaches and swollen glands every day, insomnia. Now symptoms of chronic fatigue are something I rarely deal with and only after extended periods of time (weeks) with poor sleep, and never as bad as it was before daily. I play soccer again. I run regularly, I sleep better, headaches are rare. I of course still avoid foods that trigger CFS symptoms (chemical or artificial ingredients/highly processed ingredients/sugar/caffeine), but have found that I can occasionally eat things that are not altogether healthy, and if I drink this right after, it significantly decreases my body's reactions. Highly recommend this product for CFS sufferers. I am back to my old self, minus over a decade of aging.

I had a medical issue a couple of years ago. My doctor recommended that I eat healthy. He suggested that I eat plain yogurt and mix in a few different grains and powders including mushroom powder. I just happened to pick Cordyceps as one of my powders. After analyzing many reviews, I chose Om. I just wish that they still offered it in a jar container rather than a bag. I can't say how much this has helped me but I'm pretty healthy right now.

Generally, cordyceps militaris is meant to be supplemented as fruiting bodies, and as far as I know, essentially all CM research done is in regards to fruiting bodies or some form of extract with a comparatively high Cordycepin content. In regards to CS-4 strain cordyceps sinensis, the mycelium is what is used for supplementation and so taking a "mycelial biomass" of sorts would be fine, as this would be comparative to the what is used in the research done on CS-4.But for cordyceps militaris, the fruiting bodies are what are desirable, since this is where virtually all of the cordycepin is concentrated and in turn -> the majority of the research has been done on cordycepin itself or high cordycepin content fruit bodies. This product has a low cordycepin content of .03%, whereas you can get around 0.3% with militaris fruiting bodies.And these high cordycepin % fruit bodies are available at very low costs and in bulk quantities, except they have to be purchased from china. So far I have not come across any USA companies producing cordyceps fruiting bodies, and even Aloha Medicinals (supposedly the world's largest producer of cordyceps) provides only extremely low cordycepin content cordyceps. Companies selling militaris mycelium is likely due to profit gauging strategies, since it is much much cheaper to sell mycelium + a minuscule amount of fruiting body in comparison with just the dried fruit. Unfortunately, this mycelial biomass is extraneous and dilutes the potency of the mushroom significantly, and therefor is ultimately deceiving consumers who are expecting a potent mushroom supplement.I would also like to add that this product tastes almost exactly like powdered oats (which is the substrate/food for this cordceps). The taste is good, but does not taste like a mushroom should. My pure cordyceps fruit bodies taste like an entirely different substance than this product, and this one is entirely lacking any mushroom taste or texture.While i'm sure this product is healthy and has some small amounts of active compounds, it does not seem nearly as potent as some of the alternatives that can be purchased.

I use this with my greens, reishi mushrooms powder, and apple cider with mother in it, and some water. I have a CKD and this has brought me back to level 3 for many years now.

I only by mushroom made by "Om". My review does not apply to other mushroom brands.My morning coffee I add Mushroom Masterblend, best thing ever to wake you up. My pre-workout I add Cordyceps. I have also tried the "Fit" mushroom. IMO, Fit does nothing for me. Consuming Cordyceps I definitely get a better workout.
