Can I Take Lion's Mane and Cordyceps Together? Daily Amounts and Cost

Can I Take Lion's Mane and Cordyceps Together? Daily Amounts and Cost

Short answer: Both are foods, so you can take both as long as you keep to each product's daily amount (2 capsules each, 4 in total). Take them together or at different times. If you take medication or have a medical condition, check with a doctor or pharmacist first.

What's the difference between the two?

Lion's Mane Extract Capsules Cordyceps Extract Capsules
Raw material 100% Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) fruiting body 100% Cordyceps militaris fruiting body
Extraction Dual extraction: hot water and alcohol Hot-water extraction
Contents 120 capsules (about 60 days) 60 capsules (about 30 days)
Daily amount 2 capsules 2 capsules
Price (tax incl.) ¥3,980 (about ¥66 a day) ¥3,880 (about ¥129 a day)

They are different mushrooms, so the raw materials and production differ. Both are made in China (raw materials and manufacturing) in a GMP-certified facility.

How much does taking both cost per day?

About ¥195 a day buying one-time (about ¥66 + ¥129), or about ¥166 with a subscription (15% off each delivery). Lion's Mane lasts about 60 days and Cordyceps about 30, so the Cordyceps runs out first.

Together or at different times?

Either is fine. If four capsules at once is a lot, split them, for example 2 Lion's Mane in the morning and 2 Cordyceps in the evening. See when to take them for habit ideas.

Which should I start with?

If you can't decide, start with one and add the other once you're used to taking it. Lion's Mane (about ¥66 a day) is the easier one to start on cost. For the raw materials, see fruiting body vs mycelium and Cordyceps sinensis vs militaris.

Can I take them with other supplements?

Taking several products with similar ingredients can push you over the daily amounts. When combining health foods, check each one's ingredients and daily amount, and ask a doctor or pharmacist if you're unsure.
