Cordyceps – Chinese Caterpillar Fungus

Cordyceps sinensis (Ophiocordyceps sinensis), known as Chinese Caterpillar Fungus, is a truly unique mushroom. It originates from the peaks of the distant Himalayas and boasts a remarkable life cycle that contributes to its exceptional composition. What makes this unusual fungus so unique? Join us on a journey into the ancient past to discover this wonder of traditional Chinese medicine.

A FUNGUS THAT COMBINES THE BEST OF PLANT AND ANIMAL KINGDOMS

What is most fascinating about this mushroom is its life cycle. It parasitizes on specific species of caterpillars and insect larvae, which is reflected in its appearance. The fungus resembles a caterpillar more than a typical mushroom.

During the summer, it releases spores that enter the host's body and extract nutrients, gradually replacing the tissue with its own mycelium. In winter, the affected caterpillar buries itself underground, and in spring, a new fruiting body emerges from its remains. This creates a combination of insect and plant, which is reflected in its unique composition.

ACTIVE POLYSACCHARIDES, BETA GLUCANS, AND A RANGE OF VITAMINS

There are over 300 species of these mushrooms worldwide, differing primarily in their content of active polysaccharides. Depending on the species, Cordyceps contains approximately 25% protein, 8% fat, 29% carbohydrates, and 18% fiber. Additionally, it is a rich source of beta glucans, sterols, vitamins (especially vitamin B12), minerals, trace elements, and more. You can easily and conveniently enjoy the benefits of its composition through our capsules.

HOW TO USE CORDYCEPS? ALL YOU NEED IS 2 CAPSULES A DAY

For maximum effectiveness, take 2 capsules of Cordyceps extract daily. It's best to enjoy your daily dose in the morning with breakfast. If you have difficulty swallowing capsules, you can also mix the contents with water or liquid food.

However, Cordyceps capsules are not suitable for pregnant and nursing women, men predisposed to androgen-dependent prostate tumors, and anyone suffering from autoimmune diseases. It is also contraindicated for those taking immunosuppressants, blood sugar regulators, cholesterol medications, and blood clotting agents.
