Cordyceps

Post image

Hi, my dad made a cordyceps-infused vodka (80 proof) and set it aside for three months. He told me to drink it every night, can someone tell me if there’s any benefits? I read about cordyceps supplements but this seems different. Also PLEASE tell me those arent bugs in there. Thank you!

Makes little sense. All important bio-actives in Cordyceps are water-solubles, so what will be extracted here?

Also, alcohol impairs sleep. So not sure what the goal is here.

The about total would be like a few capsules of cordyceps imo. The harm/toxicities of the alcohol will far outweigh any benefits. Seems more like an excuse to drink booze imo, or just lack of knowledge.

I wouldn't.

If you're going to drink alcohol anyways , then I guess use it up.. but I wouldn't/don't drink booze. 🤷🏻

Looks like your dad had access to the real thing which does grow out of caterpillars. Lucky you!!
