Hi, I would like to try Cordyceps, but the price makes me have to think carefully.
/u/realmushrooms, Cordyceps Cs-4 has more research on it and is way cheaper, so what are the reasons to buy Cordyceps militaris, which is better for motivation? Does Cordyceps have cholinergic properties (aCHe inhibitor,....)? Cause I react badly to cholinergic stuff.
/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb, your CORDYCEPS 10:1 is more expensive yet why it has lower Beta-Glucan (β-Glucan) content (20% vs 30%)? Also, same question as above, does Cordyceps have cholinergic properties (aCHe inhibitor,....)?

That's odd. I usually react very sensitive to cholinergics and can't bare them. Yet the 10:1 extract works very well for me (unlike the 1:1)
Is it possible that whatever causes the AChE inhibition does not or only partially get pulled over during the extraction?

Yes, it is possible that compound is not soluble, and does not come over in the concentrated extract. I actually react better to the 1:1 for daily use, and only use the 10:1 for days when I need a little more endurance/push. I also only use 500mg of the 1:1 and 200mg of the 10:1.
