New Roots Cordyceps Extract 500mg 60 Veggie Caps
- Cordyceps Extract 500mg 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
