All Day Energy
I love this every morning In my coffee. It gives me a nice level energy without any hitters.
Cordyceps mushrooms belong to the Clavicipitaceae family and many Cordyceps mushroom species are used in traditional Tibetan and Chinese practices. Cordyceps militaris is one of the more studied and utilized species. Cordyceps militaris and other related species are an endoparasitoid fungi, which means they are basically parasites. However, Cordyceps militaris, the species used for our Cordyceps mushroom extracts, does not need a host to grow and is able to grow on a substrate. In fact, Cordyceps militaris also contains much more Cordycepin than Cordyceps sinensis and other Cordyceps species, making it the preferred Cordyceps species for supplementation!
Cordyceps militaris mushroom has an elongated and finger-like fruiting body. Cordyceps fungus can appear individually or they can grow as a cluster. The name ‘Cordyceps’ is derived from the Greek word “kordyle”, which means ‘club’. The Latin stem “ceps” loosely translates to “head”, which describes the Cordyceps fruiting body’s club-like appearance. Some of the first written records of Cordyceps mushrooms were from 15th century Tibetan texts, where it was used to enhance many aspects of health, and allowing better adaptation to high altitudes. At the time, Cordyceps mushroom was referred to as Yartsa gunbu, it was later named to Cordyceps sinensis. This species is currently referred to as OphioCordyceps sinensis. Now that we have access to modern research, many of the ancient Tibetan uses, are now being verified by science and many other Cordyceps Mushroom Extract uses have been discovered through modern research too.
Evidence shows that Cordyceps mushroom benefits extend to many areas of health. These areas of health include immune system health, cellular health, cardiovascular health and cognitive health. These Cordyceps benefits can be traced to one of the main bioactives in Cordyceps militaris, a unique compound called cordycepin. Cordyceps militaris in particular, contains a particularly high concentration of cordycepin in comparison to other Cordyceps species. So what Cordyceps health benefits does Cordycepin produce, and what can we gain from Cordyceps mushroom benefits?
Contrary to what some believe, 10:1 does not mean that the extract is exactly ten times more potent than the 1:1, but the Cordyceps 10:1 mushroom extract shows more potency in demonstrating cognitive effects than other Cordyceps benefits. However, the 10:1 ratio only signifies the amount of raw material equivalent used in the extract. 10:1 means that it takes 10 pounds of raw Cordyceps powder to make 1 pound of 10:1 Cordyceps powder.
Our 10:1 extract is a water extract, which concentrates water soluble compounds. The Cordyceps mushroom is treated with hot water to break down the chitin, then hot water is used again to extract the water soluble compounds. Cordyceps 10:1 extract contains a much higher concentration of water soluble compounds than the regular 1:1 Cordyceps extract. The main extracted soluble compound is cordycepin, which produces most of the positive brain and energy boosting effects of Cordyceps militaris.
Additionally, Nootropics Depot Cordyceps 10:1 extract will have a higher cordycepin content than the 1:1 since it is a more concentrated extract. Some of the less soluble compounds such as beta-glucans are discarded in this process which leads to changes in the effect profile.
Since none of the material is lost in the 1:1, you get the most beta glucans, however, the cordycepin content is not as concentrated. The Nootropics Depot 10:1 extract concentrates more cordycepin, resulting in more energy and endurance promoting effects as well as cognition and mood supporting effects. However, beta glucan concentration is reduced as a result.
Beta-Glucan (β-Glucan) minimum content: 20%
Cordycepin content: .3% by HPLC
As a dietary supplement, take 250mg of Cordyceps Mushroom 1-2 times daily.

I love this every morning In my coffee. It gives me a nice level energy without any hitters.
I have never had an herb or supplement effect my workout endurance like this has. Truly there is a noticeable difference in how long and hard I can go in the gym. If you’re out of shape this makes it way easier to get in it. I only do 500mg preworkout and I can absolutely notice the difference in my stamina if I forget to take it. This will always be stocked in my cabinet. Thank you ND

Once again, Nootropics Depot delivers in the quality department. Highest quality cordyceps on the market. You can tell just by opening the jar and seeing that bright orange color. Most other popular cordyceps sold is a pale white color and is mostly rice. Nice earthy aroma and flavor and provides a powerful energy boost. Helps with energy, motivation, and brain fog. Gives a clear headed feeling with no jitters. Like most noots, should be cycled due to tolerance build up.
I put off trying medicinal mushrooms for years. They seemed to be a fad. Recently I took the plunge after watching some Paul Stamets videos. I've found the cordyceps 10:1 extract to be a powerful energy source. I made ~450mg capsules out of them and even just one of them in the morning on an empty stomach provides some energy. If I'm feeling really groggy, ~900mg of cordyceps 10:1 and ~650mg of lion's mane and I've got motivation and energy for the next 6 to 8 hours. These quickly became core tools in my nootropics stacks. Thanks ND and Nammex!
Works really well. Great taste. It doesn't keep me awake at night. Makes me anxious if I take it in the morning with my coffee.
I keep coming back to this supplement. It makes me feel happier in my day to day life. I notice that i seem to have more ups and my downs seem to lack depth while im on it. It helps with energy when i workout. I get a libido boost as well. I first tried the 1.1 then an year later i tried this for the first time it was too strong i got anxiousness on a 1 gram dose. I started taking 0.5 grams and stayed on it and it works wonderful. I also went back to try the 1:1 again but found it to be less effective than this supplement personally. Plus the can lasts me twice as long on this as i only need half the dose. I take it with my shilijat tar that i get from ebay russia. I drink it hot or warm water instead of a morning coffee. I also love the taste btw. It hasca wonderful taste in my opinion where the 1.1 is not at pronounced tastewise. I dont actually care if my supplements taste horrible its just a bonus if i like the taste. For example i buy the nigella sativa extract, mix it up with some oil i buy from Amazon and i use it like that then i know that my oil is top notch stuff lol. Keep on supplying this great product ND. Its actually my favorite supplement out of everything ive tried. And I have tried quite a few.
I have tried about 75% of the products sold by ND but I always stayed away from medicinal mushrooms because frankly I thought they were a fraud. On the other hand I have had more than a few very profound experiences taking 1 gram of a certain type of mushroom that is not sold by ND. So I gave several of the ethanol extracts a try. Suffice it to say I was blown away by all of them, to the extent that I recently ordered about a 6 month supply of this one, Lion's Mane and Red Reishi and decided to give the Chaga and Poira a try as well. This has significant acute affects for me in the form of very clean energy and clarity that perhaps results from the way this mushroom purportedly improves the body's utilization of oxygen. That's what it feels like to me. I find that I need less of this than the other two, and was surprised to find that ND appears to agree with me in the sense that they offer this extract in 250 mg. capsules, which I have also ordered. I plan on taking this daily for as long as I can afford it and am very interested to see how the sustained benefits stack up. I would not buy mushrooms from any other source than ND.
I have been taking ND Cordyceps for a month and a half and I can honestly say my energy and motivation has improved dramatically.
If anything there was slight libido increase.
What can I say about these other than I love them! I've been taking a 1-1 1/2 grams a day for little over a month now, and have taken them regularly before in their mycelium versions, but this is so much more potent! I'll usually do a gram in my tea in the mornings, along with the shilajit powder, and have noticed much increased stamina and oxygen uptake over the time I've been taking them, with an overall feeling of wellbeing. I also take the white jelly and turkey tail mushroom extracts, but noticed other's saying things about softer skin, and have noticed that as well. I live in the deserts of west Texas, and my skin is the softest it has ever been, and I haven't changed anything as far as hygiene department, or my diet, other than adding in these mushrooms. I recommend these to everyone I come across.

I use it on the workout days and it increases endurance slightly. It also boosts alertness and energy levels some. The taste is alright to mix in the morning tea, the powder is complete dry so it mixes and smells well.
I have been taking 1 per day first thing in the morning and will continue to do so.
I have been taking cordyceps for a while now and it is nothing short of stellar. I have much more energy, which leads to getting more done and wanting to work out more often. I also feel sexually "tuned in" while taking cordyceps; I find women more attractive and flirting happens much more naturally. It also seems as if I'm attracting more women, even when I'm not doing anything differently. My mood has been improved, my reduced, and I am enjoying life more. I feel and look healthier. To top it all off, I have had zero negative side-effects.
Top quality you will see it yourself from the product itself and by reading reviews
I am a long-time cordyceps user ~ and do have on stock some of the real cordyceps sinesin, you know, the stuff that sells for 30 bucks a gram. Well, I've tried numerous versions, and even have munchable cordyceps militaris. Did notice something from several of these other versions, but nothing like this. Yesterday, I was truly not in the mood to do a LONG dictation that crunched 6 years of test data. I was committed to getting it done but really wasn't in the mood. I had recently received both this and the ALACAR, and decided to take both. Well...let's say that I was working on that "task" within 30 minutes and completed it expeditiously. That did get my attention, as I'm not one to have a problem with motivation but the data was so bad that it felt like going through it was giving me brain damage. Well TODAY, I have one more of those to complete. The data has already been crunched by me per se. It still had to be organized into a dictationable report. So before I took both of them, I thought I'd test whether the 10:1 cordyceps did it all on its own. I was amazed at the "mental" pick-me-up it gave, and rather quickly. I actually WANTED to do that paperwork. So, I came over here to order more and it was out of stock. Zoiks! I had tried a 10:1 cordyceps before and got no results even close to this. It was very mild indeed. So...I ordered the regular so I'd had some on hand while I visit you DAILY looking for you to get the 10:1 back in stock. Whatever you do, keep making it.
Nootropics Depot Cordyceps 10:1 is incredible for helping boost my energy during workouts. I highly recommend it, I have taken other Cordyceps supplements but this one seems to be the most effective for me.
I'm usually not one to write rave reviews - but for me, this is the perfect, more natural substitute for caffeine that I've been searching for! Has great stimulating, mood boosting effects, but without any edgy side-effects or crash! I just feel more clear and "normal", brainfog is pretty much eliminated. I've also tried the regular Cordyceps before, by the way, but that felt a bit too subtle for me personally. Also, a big thumbs up for ND's great customer support!
