Cordyceps has a long history of use. Traditionally, the species of Cordyceps used for medicinal purposes was only found growing on "mummified" caterpillars, high in the mountains of Tibet. It was extremely rare. Because of this, fruiting bodies from Cordyceps sold for astronomically high prices, excluding most people from being able to use them.

Luckily, it was discovered that another species of Cordyceps, (Cordyceps militaris) can be successfully cultivated and contains the same beneficial compounds as its close relative.

FEATURES

√. Di Tao Origin - Our Cordyceps militaris mushroom source from the Gutian county in Fujian Province. We cultivate Cordyceps militaris indoors using organic cultivation protocols.

√. Organic Certified - Our Cordyceps militaris mushroom extract is USDA & EU organic certified.

√. 100% Fruit Bodies - Unlike most mushroom products in the market that use mycelium, our Cordyceps extract comes from the fruiting bodies of Cordyceps to ensure a 100% real mushroom with no grains, no additives, and no fillers.

√. 100% Water-soluble - Our Cordyceps militaris extract powder is 100% water-soluble, it is different from other products on the market. Water-soluble beta-glucan is more easily absorbed by the body.

BENEFITS OF CORDYCEPS

√. Increase energy

Why Do We Recommend You Choose Beta-glucan For Your Supplements?

Mushrooms have been valued for their health benefits and medicinal effects for centuries. One of the special components found from mushrooms is beta-glucan, which is predominantly composed in the fungal cell wall and is mostly composed of beta-D-glucose. In many researches, beta-glucan effectively stimulates the host immune response to defend against bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections. Moreover, it is known as biological response modifier since it primarily achieves its disease protective activity through modulating the host immune system. The stimulation of beta-glucan to macrophages, neutrophils, and natural killer (NK) cells is proved by binding to the receptor (dectin-1) of these cells and modulates the systems. In clinical applications, beta-glucan is usually used as an adjuvant to enhance the effectiveness of the medicine.

A common trend you see in the medicinal mushroom industry are various brands claiming that their medicinal mushrooms products contain high amounts of polysaccharides. This looks and sounds great on paper but this can be very misleading considering that polysaccharides can also come from starches. What we’ve discovered is that the polysaccharides in many so-called mushroom products are made up of alpha-glucans and not beta-glucans.

Mushrooms (or basidiomycetes) contain many different forms of polysaccharides but the most important compounds are identified as the beta-D-glucans. Beta-glucans come in various forms. The main one has what is known as 1-3,1-6 branching, or (1-3)(1-6) beta-D-glucans. This refers to the structural characteristics with particular designations (1-3) describing the linking pattern in the long chain molecule. (1-3)(1-6) beta-D-glucans are specific to fungi and yeast.

Oats and grains also contain beta-glucans but they have a different branching structure, which is (1-4)-beta-glucans.

The term beta-glucan refers to the beta-linked glucose molecules that form the typical fungal polysaccharide. The important difference when comparing the various sources of polysaccharides is that beta-glucans (and cellulose) are beta-linked while other forms such as starch are alpha-linked, otherwise known as alpha-glucans (α-Glucans).

So, a medicinal mushroom product should quantify the beta-glucans so you know the important medicinal compounds that much of the research is based around are present. This will help you in making an honest decision when selecting the right mushroom product.

At QinShanTang, we use the Megazyme method to measure beta-glucans and starch on all our products to show the potency and to confirm that they contain no fillers or grains.

What are Cordycepin and Adenosine?

Cordycepin and Adenosine are one of the various bioactive compounds found in Cordyceps spp. Adenosine is a nucleoside that is composed of adenine and d-ribose. It has a number of actions that merit its use as a possible cardioprotective and therapeutic agent for chronic heart failure. Cordycepin is a nucleoside analogue, which exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities including neuroprotection, lung and kidney protection, antitumor/anticancer/antileukemic activity, high antioxidant concentration, antibacterial and antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, immunomodulatory effects, and prosexual activity.
