How much Cordyceps to take daily?

Mushrooms contain beta-glucans that are the most important medicinal compounds in the Cordyceps and other mushrooms. Research says that the average safe consumption of beta-glucans for a healthy individual (adult) is 100-200 mg/day regardless of weight and age. For a person suffering from any illness or chronic diseases like diabetes ,blood pressure, fatigue and cancer then he may take upto 400 mg beta-glucans for atleast a year for effects to appear properly.

We mention percentage of beta-glucans in our products which varies with the form and batch of the product. So whenever you are buying mushroom based products, always check that the beta-glucans percentage being mentioned in the contents.

So, how to calculate a daily dose for yourself? If a product mentions 25% beta glucans (1:1 hot water extract), then each gram of one serving will be having 250 mg beta-glucans apart from other specific compounds like triterpenes, ergosterols and cordycepin. Thus, one serving, or two half servings everyday will be enough to keep you away from diseases and provide a bullet proof immune system. And, if you are suffering from some illness or infections, then doubling the dose i.e. two full servings will be meaningful for you to boost or support your immune system to fight external and internal health problems.
