Organic Cordyceps Powder – 12.35 oz – KOS
- MIRACLE UN-MUSHROOM: Cordyceps is not your everyday mushroom supplement. In fact it’s not a mushroom at all, but an entomopathogenic fungus. This miracle “mushroom” powder reduces inflammation, wallops infections, and mitigates respiratory miseries..
- ENHANCED IMMUNITY FUNCTION: Cordyceps’ anti-inflammatory mechanism seems to derive from its interaction with the immune system itself, and its excitation and stimulation of protective cells that patrol the body for cellular mutations and infections..
- BOOST ENDURANCE: Studies have suggested that cordyceps improves endurance and has a measurable effect on stamina. It’s thought cordyceps elevates the body’s supply of ATP, the chemical catalyst of cellular energy..
- CHOLESTEROL CONTROL: Trouble with cholesterol? Proven to knock down “bad” LDL cholesterol and elevate our “good cholesterol” friend HDL. Control your cholesterol with ease by adding to a smoothie or juice or even a mushroom tea / mushroom coffee..
- FAST TRACK RESPIRATORY RECOVERY: Cordyceps smashes oxidtive stress and the broad systemic damage that it causes, by smashing free radicals. Less oxidative stress means less breathing issues..
Scientists call it Cordyceps Sinensis. Native to the Himalayas, it is a rare adaptogen used for thousands of years in traditional Bhutanese medicine.
Suggested Use:
Add one serving (1 scoop) to your favorite dish or drink for a nutritious boost.
Cordyceps – a rare fungus – is a time-tested immunity booster and a reputed energy and endurance enhancer.
This rare fungus, once reserved only for royalty, still reigns as a potent tonic in Eastern “traditional” medicine. Its future in modern treatments is promising. It contains all the essential amino acids (complete protein), more than 50 types of enzymes and other vital phytonutrients. Since research is limited, we rely on the wisdom of the West for much of what we know about its healing powers.
Cordyceps gained “fame” in 1993. Chinese women broke 9 WRs in 1 track meet! Accused of doping, it turns out they were taking Cordyceps. We learned since it has metabolic catalyst CoQ10 and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to increase useful energy. Dope!
Traditional Asian Medicine “knows” Cordyceps boosts immunity. As East meets West, studies agree. We’ve learned this fungus contains polysaccharides (beta-glucans) reputed to support immune health, overall wellness and healthy cell growth and renewal.
An adaptogen is “any herb able to increase resistance to stress, trauma, anxiety, and fatigue,” an apt description of Cordyceps which can increase cellular oxygen capacity and ATP production within muscle cells, increase endurance and reduce fatigue.There’s lots to learn about the Cordyceps fungi but it appears certain it is an effective ally in our battle against free radical damage. Polysaccharides and CoQ10 combine with its other phytonutrients to aid in protecting cells from DNA damage.

Holy cow! I’ve been using this for a couple days now. This stuff rocks! I’ve been contemplating using cordyceps for some time to help with some extra energy in the mornings without caffeine. Not only did it put some serious pep in my step, but it gave me some awesome focus, too. And from KOS, a brand I trust and love!

This looks and smells like cordyceps, but I’m not feeling the effects that it should give. I’ve tried cordyceps from the other 2 leading mushroom brands and they definitely give me energy and my libido is high. I’m not sure why the KOS brand doesn’t give me those effects, even if it smells and looks like the other 2 brands. One thing that I noticed is that KOS recommends a higher dosage than the other cordyceps brands. The other brands recommend 500mg or half a teaspoon. I highly recommend that dosage to what KOS suggests because if you don’t, prepare to spit it out as the taste is way too strong. I’m gonna finish this up, but I won’t be getting it again.

I’ve been slowly incorporating this into my diet for almost 2 weeks and I feel like it has made a noticeable impact in energizing me and brightening my day, especially in the early mornings when you get up and you’re all groggy. I’ve drank it with just some water, with my morning latte’s, and have even added some in cooking meals. I love that it’s organic and provides me the benefits of cordyceps so easily!

I originally tried cordyceps in a freeze dried coffee blend. This doesn’t offer quite as much of a “kick” as the coffee did but I’m sure the caffeine plays a role in the difference. Still, it seems to be conducive to better athletic performance, energy, and stamina from my experience.
I actually used a few scoops mixed with soy sauce, Asian all spice, some wasabi paste, fresh ginger, dried minced onion, garlic powder, cumin, sesame seeds, some honey, chopped green onions and aquafaba (chick pea juice for the uninitiated, adds extra protein and thickens the sauce considerably without adding excessive sugar) to create something I’d liken to a teriyaki sweet and sour sauce with a LOT less sugar than the regular stuff. The cordyceps added some thickness to the sauce (along with the aquafaba) that allowed it to stick generously to the food I sauteed it in. The cordyceps add a nice meaty flavor (sorta along the lines of a light pork/beef stock) that I enjoy as a vegan.

I like adding mushroom powders to my morning coffee. This brand tastes good, is good for the body and helps get me going. I like that it is organic, a large lid and simply packaged. I’d like to try their other powders as well.

So I’ve had Lion’s mane from two different sources and both looked like and tasted like this. I had Cordyceps from one other source and it looks and tastes just like this what Kos labeled as Lion’s Mane. I ordered Lion’s mane and Cordyceps from this deal and I’m pretty sure that they two were switched. That being said it’s by far the cheapest and highest quality I’ve had.
Amazon Customer –
You can figure out the price to amount for yourself, but any way you look at it this is way cheap for amount received.
The product itself appears to be exactly what they say it is, with no variance within it.
I had a lingering mild congestion in my upper airway following a viral infection that lasted about a month, a very severe infection that, and this seemed to clear my airways about right away.

I’m so excited to start using this powder as an all natural pre-workout! Unfortunately, it doesn’t taste too great on its own mixed with water, but I made a coffee drink this morning that blew my mind! I had a great and energized workout after I downed my glass of it.
1/4 cup of nut milk
1 scoop of a plant based vanilla protein powder
1/2 of coffee
1 scoop of KOS
Yum!! I can’t wait to try more of their products.

My son has Hashimotos, Graves, and Celiac diseases. I read about Cordyceps and was excited to find a product that is quality and organic. He has only been taking it a week & a half, but definitely found more mental clarity and a little bit more energy. He is typically exhausted all of the time so any improvement is greatly valued. We haven’t run labs yet, but we are hopeful to see some positive results.

I take this as part of my pre-workout and have felt some more endurance. I am anxious to continue using it to see just how much more I will gain. Along with endurance I seem to have some more focus throughout my workout as well. Great product and I love the KOS line!
C. Rivers –
This tastes great in my coffee, and helped keep my Hashimoto’s at bay, as evidenced by my labwork. I use this with Ashwagandha to control mood and symptoms with my TSH level. It’s a total comfort with this being organic, and still affordable. I will buy again. Thank you.

I love this product. You can’t beat the price but it wouldn’t even matter because, incorporating Cordyceps Powder into my morning routine has improved my quality of life! highly recommend!
Rachel Fisher –
Not going to lie, this isn’t tasty by any means…it is powdered fungus after all! I just down it like a shot with a small bit of water. HOWEVER, I know the research behind this product so not only am I getting benefits I cannot see (immunity boost), I also get benefits I do. Like a boosted but consistent energy level and mental clarity. I’ve been taking this for a few weeks and definitely think the results are worth the couple seconds to drink it down. I love that this brand is organic, affordable, and has adorable packaging!
Timothy Park –
I really like this product, excellent price point, and high quality. However i got a tummy ache after consuming it on couple occasions because i consumed too much too fast. I highly recommend starting at a low dose and working your way up to the recommended serving size.
I checked and this company is ACTUALLY certified organic. There are many companies out there that have the USDA organic label, but they are not organic. Be an informed consumer and ask manufacturers for certification showing that their items are indeed organic.

Love the Organic Cordyceps Powder! Great deal, great taste, great product! I look forward to buying their other products as well 🙂
Taro Lee –
I like this product a lot. I have tried many different cordyceps products and this is one of the best because it’s easy to mix with my favorite drinks, and it works when I do vigorous cardio workouts.
Gaby Ruano –
I’ll admit that I was a bit skeptical about the whole “cordyceps” thing – I was never really one for fancy powders and supplements, but I love KOS’s vanilla protein powder so I decided to give it a shot! I ordered this product at the end of December and have been testing it out for the past few weeks. 1.) I was actually pretty pleasantly surprised by how mild the taste it. I added it to one of my smoothies and could barely tell it was there. I haven’t gotten the chance to bake with it yet, but I’ll update this review once I give it a shot. 2.) I am usually pretty groggy most mornings and this really does a good job at energizing me! I haven’t even been having coffee every day, which is huge for me. Overall, I give this 5 stars!

I have been a faithful customer of KOS protein for a long time, so when I heard that they were introducing more products, naturally I was beyond excited to try them. As a professional in the health and wellness field, I take my choices seriously with research , and do my own trials as well before I commit and share . This product did not disappointed. I have been using it regularly now for 6 weeks. Aside from the boost of energy it gives me for my yoga practice and for teaching yoga. I have noticed reduced stress and less ” brain fog “. I incorperate this product various ways; protein shakes, as a partial “flour” substitute, into sauces, and sprinkled on lentil noodles. I highly would recommend this product! An easy and tasty way to get the benefits of mushrooms into your diet!!
