W<\/span>hile Cordyceps might only be gaining popularity nowadays, this parasitic fungi (stay with us, here) has been used for centuries and has a rich history of use in traditional Chinese medicine.<\/span><\/div>\n

Initially used to treat fatigue, respiratory disorders and kidney disease, Corcydeps nowadays are often consumed by athletes and fitness enthusiasts to improve their performance and recovery.<\/p>\n

Like almost all supplements, Cordyceps aren’t without their controversies. While the mushroom is generally considered safe for most people (when taken as directed), some people can experience adverse effects like stomach upsets, skin rash or allergic reactions. Some experts have also expressed concern about the potential for Cordyceps to interact with certain medications, like those that affect the immune system.<\/p>\n

We spoke to Nutritionist and Psychologist\u00a0Dr Naomi Newman-Beinart PhD<\/a>, who shared her thoughts on the supplement:\u00a0\u201cKnown as the \u2018energy mushroom\u2019, Cordyceps\u00a0is\u00a0recognised\u00a0for its\u00a0energy boosting\u00a0qualities as it\u00a0has\u00a0been found to increase the use of oxygen in your body, which not only boosts performance during\u00a0physical exercise but helps you recover better afterwards, reducing recovery time and speeding up the\u00a0removal of lactic acid.<\/p>\n

\u201cCordyceps\u00a0has had thousands of scientific articles written about its positive effects on many\u00a0bodily systems, including the kidneys, liver, genito-urinary and immune systems, as well as for energy\u00a0production. There are numerous cordyceps products out there but its key to pick a high-quality brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are Cordyceps\u00a0safe?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cLuckily, mushrooms are safe for just about everyone. The only absolute contraindications is a mushroom\u00a0allergy, so if you can\u2019t do culinary mushrooms, then unfortunately, the same applies to medicinal\u00a0mushrooms. There are a few cautions to consider and if you are taking any potent prescribed\u00a0medications, it\u2019s best to check with your health practitioner first.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Who can\u2019t take Corcydeps supplements?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMedicinal mushrooms, though strictly speaking a food, do have potent effects and caution is\u00a0advised if you are taking prescribed medication for a particular symptom and then want to take a\u00a0mushroom that has similar effects. The key cautions are for medications for lowering blood sugar or for\u00a0blood thinning while using Reishi extract (which can have these effects).\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

How do I take Corcydeps supplements and how often should I take them for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen you are taking mushrooms to help with an issue, taking a regular dose each\u00a0day for a couple of\u00a0months at least is recommended. If stress, anxiety or sleep issues are a chronic issue for you, the best\u00a0results are achieved with consistent use over a period of time.\u201c<\/p>\n

More research is needed to confirm the potential health benefits of Cordyceps, and it\u2019s always best to consult with a healthcare provider before using it for medicinal purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
