Cordyceps

Cordyceps sinensis is a truly unusual mushroom. It comes from the peaks of the distant Himalayas and has a truly interesting life cycle, thanks to which it abounds in an exceptional composition. What makes this somewhat unusual mushroom unique? Join us on a journey into the ancient past to learn more about this miracle of Chinese medicine.

A MUSHROOM THAT COMBINES THE BEST OF THE PLANT AND ANIMAL KINGDOMS

By far the most interesting thing about this mushroom is its life cycle. It parasitizes on selected types of caterpillars and insect larvae, which is also evident from its appearance. It resembles a caterpillar more than a mushroom.

In the summer, it shoots spores that enter the host's body and draw nutrients from it, gradually replacing the tissue with its own mycelium. In winter, the infected caterpillar burrows underground, and in spring a new fruiting body grows from its body. It is a combination of insects and plants at the same time, which is reflected in its exceptional composition.

ACTIVE POLYSACCHARIDES, BETA GLUCANAS AND A RANGE OF VITAMINS

There are over 300 species of these mushrooms in the world, which differ mainly in the content of active polysaccharides. Depending on the species, Cordyceps contains approximately 25% protein, 8% fat, 29% carbohydrates and 18% fiber. In addition, it is also a rich source of beta glucans, sterols, vitamins (especially vitamin B12), minerals, trace elements, etc. You can easily and conveniently enjoy all the benefits of its composition through our capsules. The polysaccharide content in one capsule is at least 265 mg.
