Carlyle Cordyceps Mushroom Capsules 1000mg | 150 Count | CS-4 Strain Mushroom Extract | Non-GMO and Gluten Free

I feel this supplement is good and brings health benefit for me. I become more fresh everyday.

Important supplement used for many ailments; Western medicine doesn't recognize the importance of such supplements because big pharma would lose tons of money.

This is a decent brand. This is a fruiting body extract that works well. You don’t need a large serving to reap the benefits.

Good addition to my supplements

If you're reading this, you probably have already done the research on Cordyceps, and made sure they don't have any adverse reactions with medication you are already taking. If not, do yourself a favor and do so as this powerful ingredient can be really helpful. Also, unlike most other Cordyceps supplements, Carlyle specifically states that these are Cordyceps CS-4 (sinensis). This type of Cordyceps is essentially lab created, as the cost of naturally grown Cordyceps is very expensive. Although these are not as strong as Cordyceps militaris, these are still very effective.As far as what you can expect, these Carlyle Supplements have a fresh scent. They were also double safety sealed; a bottle seal and a plastic tamper seal around the lid. They are packaged and tested in the USA and non-GMO, which is a must for me. Also, because of the gel cap, they have no real flavor. As with most natural supplements, it's hard to say if they are working on not right away, but I feel confident that the Cordyceps CS-4 in these supplements are fresh and effective. The directions say to take 1 pill a day, so this bottle will last 5 months. I can confidently say that the Carlyle brand is a brand you can trust.

they just didn't do anything at all for me.i gave them a chance - took the whole bottle (as directed) - they did nothing.the last several pills i did double up on, but still nothing.-lots of these products are useless - you wouldn't believe some of the ingredients people put into most of these products.sawdust, baking soda, sugar, salt and other spices, none of which are harmful - they just don't perform as the manufacturer claims.

Carlyle Nutritionals LLC was incorporated in New York in 2018, by a family that has been in the supplement industry with other businesses since 1971. Their website says that they use "GMP certified manufacturing and testing facilities". Although they are FDA-inspected, these facilities may be outside the US, since they don't mention being "made in USA" anywhere. The bottle label says "packaged and lab tested in USA".The bottle has a green and gold color combination, with shiny foil accents on the label. It has a perforated clear safety seal around the outside of the lid, and a peel-off seal inside the lid. The one I received in October 2023 has an August 2026 expiration date. The label says it is non-GMO, and contains no gluten, wheat, yeast, milk, lactose, soy, artificial color, artificial flavor, artificial sweetener, or preservatives. Some of Carlyle's products are vegetarian/vegan, but this one isn't, as it uses a gelatin capsule. I've used several other products from Carlyle and have been satisfied with their quality.

Overall: Recommended. Decent quality supplement with good manufacturing practice certification (GMP). Great that the bottle clearly lets you know that this is CS-4 so that you can make an informed decision. You can look up the difference but basically wild cordyceps is getting to be rare in the natural habitat. Because of this scarcity a refined standardized version of the mycelial strain has been isolated from wild Cordyceps sinensis. The CS-4 strain has gone through some research from NIH that states benefit on exercise performance for older adults. I think this product does well to meet the quality standards for a good quality cordyceps supplement and the packaging and safety seals are fine. Cheers!
