Tigerus Cordyceps Sinesis 300mg Vegecap

Tigerus Cordyceps Sinensis 300mg Vegecap is a herbal supplement from Tigerus that provides 300mg of Cordyceps sinensis mycelium extract in each vegetable capsule. Cordyceps sinensis (now also classified as Ophiocordyceps sinensis) is a fungus traditionally found in the high-altitude regions of the Tibetan Plateau. Because wild cordyceps is rare and costly, most supplements today, including mycelium-based products, use cordyceps grown under controlled cultivation or fermentation conditions.

Cordyceps has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries as a tonic, particularly for energy and general vitality. Laboratory and small human studies have explored its natural compounds, such as nucleosides (including adenosine) and polysaccharides, but high-quality clinical evidence in people remains limited. It should therefore be regarded as a traditional herbal supplement to complement a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, not as a treatment for any disease.

The capsules are vegetarian, gelatin-free and preservative-free, and the product is supplied in a pack of 60 capsules. As cordyceps may affect blood clotting, blood sugar and immune activity, people who take blood thinners, diabetes medicines or immune-suppressing medicines, or who have an autoimmune condition, should speak to a doctor or pharmacist before use.

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water after a meal. Taking it at the same time each day makes it easier to keep a consistent routine.

Follow the serving stated on the product label, or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist.

Adults: 1 to 2 capsules (300mg to 600mg of cordyceps extract) daily after meals, or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not exceed the recommended daily serving. The product is not intended for children unless advised by a doctor. If you miss a serving, take the next one at the usual time without doubling up.

Refer to the expiry date printed on the product packaging. Do not use the capsules after the expiry date.

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep the bottle tightly closed after use and keep out of reach of children.

• Common: Mild stomach discomfort, nausea, diarrhoea or constipation.
• Common: Dry mouth.
• Uncommon: Drowsiness.
• Serious: Unusual bruising or bleeding, particularly in people taking blood thinners. Stop using the product and seek medical advice.
• Serious: Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling of the face or lips, or difficulty breathing. Seek medical help immediately.

• Known allergy to cordyceps, other mushrooms, moulds or yeasts, or to any ingredient in the product.
• Autoimmune conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis, unless approved by a doctor, as cordyceps may stimulate immune activity.
• Bleeding disorders, or within 2 weeks before planned surgery, as cordyceps may slow blood clotting.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding, as there is not enough reliable safety information.
• Children, unless advised by a doctor.

• Blood thinners and antiplatelet medicines (such as warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel or heparin): cordyceps may slow blood clotting and increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
• Immunosuppressants (such as ciclosporin, tacrolimus, azathioprine or corticosteroids): cordyceps may stimulate immune activity and could reduce the effect of these medicines.
• Diabetes medicines (such as insulin, metformin or sulfonylureas): cordyceps may lower blood sugar, so blood glucose should be monitored closely.
• Other herbs that affect clotting or blood sugar (such as ginkgo, garlic, ginger or bitter gourd supplements): combining them may add to these effects.

• Take your capsule after a meal to reduce the chance of an upset stomach.
• Start with 1 capsule a day to see how you tolerate it before moving to 2 capsules, if needed.
• Stop taking cordyceps about 2 weeks before any planned surgery or dental procedure and inform your doctor or dentist.
• If you have diabetes, check your blood sugar more often when you first start the supplement.
• Avoid taking several cordyceps-containing products at the same time to prevent excessive intake.
• Keep the bottle closed tightly to protect the capsules from Malaysia’s humid climate.

Precautions: Cordyceps is a natural product but may still cause side effects and interact with medicines. Use with caution if you have diabetes, a bleeding disorder or an autoimmune condition, and stop use at least 2 weeks before surgery. Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and do not give to children unless a doctor advises it. This supplement does not replace a balanced diet or medical treatment.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Consult a doctor or pharmacist before use if you take blood thinners, diabetes medicines, immune-suppressing medicines or other regular medicines. Stop using the product and seek medical advice if you notice unusual bruising or bleeding, symptoms of low blood sugar such as shakiness or sweating, or any sign of an allergic reaction.
