Question
I am a 51ys.old male. I am in good health. I take 80mg of Pravachol, one aspirin daily. ( the pravachol for high cholesterol) I have been slugguish and read cordycep is overall good for someone in my catagory. What is your opinion? What doseage would you recommend? Thank you!

Answer
Hi Steve -- sorry it took awhile to get back with you ...   Cordycep is an excellent choice to help with energy -- you do have to be careful on the integrity and safety of the product particularly a mushroom so I would recommend Shaklee's Corenergy which I take. CorEnergy contains standardized extract of Cordyceps (a mushroom), Asian Ginseng and Green Tea specifically teamed to promote vitality.* Cordyceps is clinically proven to help fight everyday fatigue* ; Ginseng is traditionally used as an energizer*; the antioxidant properties of polyphenols in Green Tea promote sustained vitality  

I would also recommend you take the minimum of a good multivitamin and b-complex which is also helpful for energy and the heart!   Shaklee has a good product called Shaklee Basics which contains the supplements the scientists recommend everyone have a minimum of including multivitamin, b-complex, Vit. C and E with grapeseed extract.
