New Roots Cordyceps 500mg 60Vcaps

Extracted from Cordyceps (Paecilomyces hepiali), this formulation is standardized to 40% polysaccharides.

Thriving in the elevated altitudes of the Himalayan mountain range and Tibetan plateau, this rare fungus has a distinctive Development pattern within a caterpillar host, setting it apart from other medicinal mushrooms. To meet growing demands, Cordyceps is now cultivated in controlled environments, such as climate-controlled greenhouses with a grain-based substrate, offering the same beneficial compound profile as those found in the wild.

New Roots Herbal's Cordyceps (Paecilomyces hepiali) is a hot water–extracted medicinal mushroom formula with a standardization of 40% polysaccharides (500 mg per capsule). Hot-water extraction, the traditional Asian method, is crucial for obtaining a high-quality and potent mushroom product. The mycelium's polysaccharides, bound by an indigestible chitin cell wall, are gently released through hot water. Contrastingly, grinding the mycelium or the mushroom may risk damaging the long-chain polysaccharides and leaves the indigestible chitin (fibre) intact, restricting the amount of therapeutic constituents per capsule. Standardization ensures a consistent polysaccharide content, allowing for the delivery of a therapeutic dose in the final product.
