Cordyceps Nootropics Depot - loose stools and vomitting. I've taken cordyceps before with no issues

I'm wondering if others have had this issue with cordyceps. I took two capsules of ND's cordyceps last night and then 2 capsules this morning. Both were taken on an empty stomach. I had 2 loose stools and then just vomitted and could taste the cordyceps along with grapefruit i had for breakfast. I have taken wild tibetan cordyceps before (super expensive) and had no issues. Should I try just one capsule, do i start with too big a dose. Does anyone else experience these issues with ND's cordyceps? Do you have any advice on how i can avoid nausea next time. I like cordyceps and would like to continue to take it but will cease if i can't get this figured out.

I was gonna say, does cordycepsin metabolize via CYP3A4?

Well grapefruit juice inhibits a lot more CYP enzymes than just 3A4. Also, there is more than cordycepin in cordyceps. I have a feeling it is the adenosine in the cordyceps that causes the stomach upset.
