Can I take Cordyceps and Lions mane together?

Why this happens

These two supplements do not compete for the same metabolic pathways in the liver, nor do they cancel each other out. They have 'additive' effects, meaning they work alongside each other without interfering with how the body absorbs or uses them.

What you should do

It is generally safe to take these together. However, as with any supplement, start with a low dose to see how your body reacts. If you are taking blood-thinning medication or have an upcoming surgery, speak to your doctor first, as both mushrooms may have very mild blood-thinning properties.
