Botanic specificity
In the recent past more scientific information about it has become available, to support these claims. The potency of C. militaris depends chiefly on its chemical constituents: the cordycepin and polysaccharides that make up the fruiting body, mycelium or spores.
Traditional use
Cordyceps militaris has been widely used since antiquity for pharmacological purposes like immuno-modulation, antiinflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative and radical scavenging and anti- aging effects.
Consumer trend
Because of the difficulties involved in harvesting, it has been expensively priced.
BKD solutions
Our Cordyceps are cultivated in green houses in the area of Zhejiang and we use the fruiting body to manufacture an extract standardized to the main chemical components of Cordyceps which are : cordycepin, polysaccharides and beta-glucans and which are the markers of Cordyceps potency.
Sourcing challenge
Cordyceps is a highly valued fungus in this regard which thrives at altitudes above 3,800 meters above MSL, in the cold, grassy, alpine meadows on the mountainous Himalayan plateau
