For many centuries, the Cordyceps sinensis fungus has been one of the most appreciated remedies in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Orthomolecular therapy also takes advantage of its wide variety of interesting properties
It is also very popular among athletes, who use it during training and competitions.
The most important active substances are cordycepin and cordyceptic acids (6%) and polysaccharides.
The synergy between the different components causes more effect than the sum of the parts.
Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus that in nature lives as a parasite in worms.
The set of mummified worms and the fungus has been traditionally used in dried form
The mycelium of Bonusan's Cordyceps sinensis comes from cultivation in substrates and contains only the mycelium (hyphae or filaments) of the fungus, the part with the highest concentration of biologically active substances.
The cultivation is carried out without worms.
Growing in substrates offers several advantages, including improved quality control, standardization of active ingredients, and greater product purity. All of this contributes to more reliable results.
Furthermore, liquid chromatography has shown that wild and cultivated varieties have an identical chemical profile.
Aside from this, we prefer cultivated products because the high demand for the already scarce wild variety would put too much pressure on it.
The most notable features of Cordyceps sinensis mycelium: -Standardized to 6% cordyceptic acids for a reliable result -It contains exclusively mycelium filaments that contain most of the active substances -Multiple applications -Very suitable for athletes
