Cordyceps and Caffëine
Original post in this thread

I see many reviews that people are taking Cordyceps with their morning coffee.
But what's the deal here? Cordycepin is a vasodilator. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor.
Then Cordyceps has adenosine. Caffeïne blocks the adenosine receptor. Look like it is contraindicated to take together. Anybody that can shed some light on this?

is there any meaningfull amount of lovastatic in cordyceps?https://sci-hub.se/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0023643812000357https://i.imgur.com/uActplW.png around 50mg/kg which ends up into 0.05mg per g.But its not extract tho.
/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb do u have any data on lovastatin content of nd cordyceps extracts?
UPD that research in on mycelium cordyceps, they dont seem to have data on fruiting body cordyceps :(
UPD 2 https://sci-hub.se/http://www.dl.begellhouse.com/journals/708ae68d64b17c52,23d62e9b62d52918,1c060be9357bdf11.html2.7 microgram/g per dry weight of lovastatin in cordyceps militaris fruiting body. Which is like 4000 lower than minimal dosage of lovastatin and likely wont do any effects, but still its not extract data, but really doubt it would bring it close to any meaningfull level

It's not something we have tested, but seems interesting!
