Hello,

Has anyone ever taken Cordyceps for MS? My Brother is currently taking Gilenya and is wondering if he can take Cordyceps instead. Any suggestions on this?

Hi,

I did try it a number of years ago. There are a number of different strains of codyceps and I'm not sure which one Gilenya uses or how they modified it.

I was attracted to it conceptually but it gave me an upset stomach and I ended up discontinuing it because of that.

The view I have is there is no magic bullet and it is the sum of all the things we do that makes a difference so don't expect it, on its own, to be the answer.

Regards,
