We stand for full transparency: we use only concentrated extracts (DER 10:1 and DER 15:1), we verify the species with DNA tests, and we test every batch for purity in accredited laboratories.

The fruiting body is the above-ground part of the mushroom, rich in beta-glucans, while the mycelium is its underground network of “roots”. In the capsules and the powder we use 100% fruiting bodies. In the drops we use the CS-4 strain, the best-studied commercially available variety of Cordyceps sinensis, with no added starch or grain.

It means we use 10 kg of raw mushrooms to produce 1 kg of concentrated extract. That concentrates its compounds: beta-glucans, cordycepin and adenosine.

Every batch goes through a DNA test to confirm that the species is authentic Cordyceps sinensis. We test the beta-glucan content and check for heavy metals, pesticides and microbiological contamination. The reports are published in full: open them here.

It depends on the form. Capsules: 2 a day (1 g of extract). Powder: 2 scoops a day (1 g; each scoop is 500 mg). Drops: 2 ml (2 droppers) a day. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving.

In the morning with a meal, or 30–60 minutes before training. It is easiest to build Cordyceps into your morning ritual. Regularity matters more than the exact hour.

Yes. Cordyceps is meant for daily use. We recommend 3–4 months of supplementation followed by a month’s break. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving.

The capsules come in a pack of 60, which is enough for 30 days. A 60 ml bottle of drops is a 30-day supply. A 100 g jar of powder lasts a little over three months at 2 scoops (1 g) a day.

Cordyceps is generally regarded as safe. In rare cases some people report mild digestive discomfort when they start. If you have any doubts about your health, discuss supplementation with your doctor.

Many people, athletes included, combine functional mushrooms. Cordyceps is often taken with Lion’s Mane and with Chaga. If you take medication or have a chronic condition, check the combination with your doctor.

It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for anyone under 18.

It is a functional mushroom (Cordyceps sinensis) that grows naturally in the high-mountain regions of Tibet and the Himalayas. In the capsules and the powder we use an extract of its fruiting bodies; in the drops, a pure extract of the mycelium of the CS-4 strain.

The powder and the drops give you the flexibility of mixing them into drinks. The capsules are more convenient, have no taste and make it easy to measure the daily serving precisely. Choose the one that suits the way you live.

Cordyceps powder has a mild, slightly earthy taste. Most people do not notice it once it is mixed into coffee or a shake. If you are sensitive to taste, we recommend the capsules, which have none.

No. The alcohol is evaporated after the extraction. As natural preservatives we use citric acid and rowan extract. The bottle is Miron glass, which protects against UV light.

Yes. The powder and the drops are plant-based, and the capsules have a plant-based shell.

Capsules and powder: in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Drops: keep in the fridge once opened.
