As a medicinal mushroom Cordyceps is revered as an all-round adaptogen and may help to support stamina and endurance. It is rich in cordycepin, a unique compound which may have antiviral properties and play a role in healthy energy metabolism. In Traditional Chinese Medicine Cordyceps has a sweet and warming energy and is supportive to the kidney and liver meridians. We cultivate our Cordyceps using the superior Cordyceps militaris species. We use a combination of biomass and young fruiting bodies grown on organic sorghum under nature-identical conditions to provide a higher nutrient content. We also use a hot water extraction to provide a superior level of bio-available beta glucan. Capsules are a convenient way to ensure a precise and therapeutic dose of these beneficial compounds.

All our mushrooms are cultivated on organic farms and blended by experts in the field of medicinal mushrooms. Our Cordyceps is never grown using insect hosts, so they are fully suitable for a vegan diet. All our products are third-party tested to ensure purity of the mushroom strain. We also screen them for contaminants, pesticides and heavy metals, so you can be assured they are manufactured to the highest standards.
