You may have gotten your hands on this wonderful fungi, have researched all the amazing energy-boosting benefits, and are now wondering how to take Cordyceps mushroom? Read everything about the dosage and ways to take Cordyceps mushroom here!
Cordyceps Mushroom Powder Capsules
One of the most common ways to get your daily Cordyceps dosage is to take it as a supplement capsule once in the morning or twice a day. Since Cordyceps is an energy-boosting supplement, some people suggest taking it only in the morning as it can potentially create difficulties falling asleep at night if taken too late in the day. Different brands will contain different Cordyceps amounts per capsule, therefore, check the suggested dosage on the package as it may vary.

If capsules are difficult to swallow for any reason, it may be a good idea to either purchase Cordyceps Mushroom powder or dismantle the capsule and mix it with your morning drink or blend it in a smoothie.

As the cordyceps mushroom liquid extract can be more potent, check instructions on the bottle for recommended dosage.
