Organic Cordyceps Mushroom Tincture 2oz

Six-dimension breakdown

Why this scored 60/100

Mycoterra Farm is a small-scale mushroom farm in western Massachusetts that grows and processes its own fruiting bodies — a genuine quality signal that distinguishes it from the majority of commercial mushroom supplements, which are grown as mycelium-on-grain in Chinese fermentation facilities and contain substantial residual grain starch rather than true fruiting body material. Cordyceps militaris (the cultivated species, distinct from wild Cordyceps sinensis / Ophiocordyceps sinensis) has real published evidence for modest improvements in exercise tolerance (Chen 2010, Rossi 2014 in older adults; effect sizes are small but reproducible), and for cordycepin content (a nucleoside analog with in-vitro anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity). Triple-extraction tincture (water + alcohol + heat) is a legitimate method for pulling both water-soluble beta-glucans and alcohol-soluble triterpenes/cordycepin. The 2oz bottle at typical dropper dosing is a 30-60 day supply. Standard tier reflects a genuine fruit-body product from a real US farm with legitimate extraction methodology, tempered by the fact that per-dose milligrams of active compounds (beta-glucan content, cordycepin percentage) are not standardized or published, no third-party COA for heavy metals or lot-level assay is linked, and clinical evidence for the exercise/energy claims is modest rather than definitive.

Evidence & sources

The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.

Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.

How to read the Evidence dimension

• 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
• 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
• 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
• 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
• 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
