Why this happens
Both cordyceps and turkey tail contain compounds called polysaccharides (specifically beta-glucans) that interact with immune cells. Taking them together may have an additive effect on immune activity. There is no evidence that they interfere with how the body absorbs or breaks down one another.
What you should do
It is generally safe to take these together. However, you should consult a doctor before use if you have an autoimmune disease (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) or if you are taking immunosuppressant medications, as these supplements might make those conditions worse or interfere with your medicine. Stop taking both at least two weeks before any scheduled surgery as they may affect blood clotting.
