I was really concerned about the taste when I ordered. I notice that it is better to add to hot drinks right before drinking. I tried cooking it in broth and it was bitter, but if I add it to the broth after cooking I like the way it tastes. I feel like it is a quality ingredient. I cannot say if I have seen any improvement yet because I haven't been using it for long. It smells yummy, and it comes in a glass jar which I like.

Cordyceps is one perplexing and ruthless fungus – in the mountainous regions of Asia, this mushroom invades insect larvae and grows out of their body. Cordyceps is the name for a group (genus) of fungi, all of which are parasites of various insects or other fungi. There are over 750 species of Cordyceps fungi around the world. They primarily grow in South Asia, Europe, and North America. The most well-known and studied species is Cordyceps sinensis. In 2007, scientists discovered changed its name to Ophiocordyceps sinensis, although it is still commonly referred to as C. sinensis or just cordyceps. Cultured Cordyceps mycelium contains the same concentrations of active components as wild Cordyceps, making it an effective and affordable alternative. It helps the immune system thrive and only one capsule a day is encouraging enough to continue taking it. The taste is normal.

I like that this powder dissolves easily and taste ok. Nothing nasty about it. I love the fact that it comes in a glass bottle instead plastic which will leak microplastics into your supplements. The source is clean as well and I believe this is the BEST Cordeceps militaries on IHERB. I take Cordeceps sinensis from Sunpotion brand as well. One before workout and the other before bed. Works well for me this way.

Healthforce is one of my staple supplement brands and these cordyceps are just as high quality as their other products I’ve used. Dissolves easily in liquid and can be mixed into drinks without a strong taste. This is the first time I’ve taken cordyceps alone, so I’m still waiting to see if after a few weeks I start to notice changes.

I have to say that the smell was quite repulsive when I first opened it up. And the second mistake I made was to mix it with my black coffee (utterly disgusting) . So I was like how am I gonna finish the whole bottle !!! So I mixed it into my morning oats and boom it was DELICIOUS! So yeah this will be my second bottle now .

For years I bought cordyceps from an individual sourcer in the US. Now living abroad I have to find a decent retail brand. This is the most reliably potent one so far, and I am now ordering their Lions Mane. BTW with mushroom supps, it's important to remember that you can't take them every day and expect the same noticeable effect. I take days and even weeks off, cycling my use of these medicines.

I am new to using mushrooms in this way but I’m glad I started. I mix this with some other things to make a mushroom tea and I feel a difference

Best Cordyceps product for me. It desolves very easily, even in cold water, tastes good and works very well. I tried other products but this works best.

Cordyceps have many benefits, and finding a supplement that uses the fruiting body which is what actually helps - is a very difficult task. This product is worth the money if you want to supplement with cordyceps. However, be warned. The smell and taste of it is not pleasant. I tried taking it in many different ways, but the taste and smell were just too much for me.

Great product, would be nice if they gave some kind of spoon to extract from bottle.
