A high-strength supplement based on pure extract (8:1) of the medicinal mushroom Paecilomyces hepiali, a variety of Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Cordyceps sinensis) which is used for industrial fermentation. HPLC analysis has shown that it has the same chemical profile as the traditionally used form (1).
Cordyceps is a medicinal mushroom that grows in the wild at high altitudes that are free of pollution in the Himalayan mountains and the Tibetan Plateau. It is unique among medicinal mushrooms because it grows within a host, the caterpillar. This parasitic fungus grows on the larva of a moth, hepialus armoricanus, absorbing all of its nutrients from the caterpillar’s body (1).
It is highly appreciated in traditional Chinese medicine for its anti-ageing properties and its applications, including the treatment of suprarenal fatigue, respiratory and renal disorders, and improving resistance and libido.
Cordyceps is especially beneficial for hepatic, renal and cardiovascular diseases, as well as immune disorders, and even cancer. This action is mainly caused by active polysaccharides, modified nucleotides and cyclosporine metabolites produced by the fungus. It contains cordycepic acid, glutamic acid, D-mannitol, sterols, B vitamins and up to 20 minerals, among other properties.
The method of polysaccharide extraction is a critical point that determines the concentration and efficacy of the product. Our extract is obtained through a validated extraction process in hot water which concentrates, guarantees and preserves the active compounds, leading to a higher final concentration of polysaccharides. Mycelium contains polysaccharides that are bound to
the cell walls of chitin, which is indigestible in the gastrointestinal tract. Chitin must be dissolved in hot water in order to release the polysaccharides and guarantee a high polysaccharide content as well as greater bioavailability. The extract is standardized to 40% polysaccharide content.
The mushrooms used for our formulation have been cultivated in greenhouses under climate controlled conditions and are free of heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides in order to guarantee the purity and strength of the extract.
