Product Description

Introduction

Cordyceps Militaris Extract is a high-value functional ingredient derived from Cordyceps militaris, a medicinal fungus. As a sustainable alternative to wild Cordyceps sinensis, it is produced via advanced biotechnological processes to ensure consistent quality, high bioactivity and safety.

Raw Material Source

Raw materials come from our GAP-certified organic cultivation bases (USDA & EU certified), using submerged liquid fermentation and CEA facilities. Harvested at the optimal stage (day 70) to maximize bioactive compounds, free from pollutants and heavy metals.

Extraction Process

We adopt low-temperature water extraction (40-45°C) combined with ultrasonic-assisted extraction and multi-stage membrane separation, with an extraction rate over 90%. The process complies with GMP, ISO 9001, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 standards.

Active Ingredient Content

Standardized with customizable specifications: Cordycepin ≥ 0.5%-5.0% (HPLC), Cordyceps Polysaccharides ≥ 20%-50% (UV-Vis), Adenosine ≥ 0.1%-0.5% (HPLC), Ergosterol (optional) ≥ 0.3% (HPLC).

Differentiation Advantages

Core advantages:

① Higher bioactivity (≥98% active ingredients retained, higher cordycepin than wild Cordyceps);

② Safe and traceable (full “seed-to-spec” system, CoA per batch, meeting USP/EP standards);

③ Excellent water solubility (80 mesh powder, easy to formulate);

④ Sustainable (large-scale fermentation, stable supply).

Key Active Compounds

Its health benefits come from synergistic bioactive compounds:

  • Cordyceps Polysaccharides: Water-soluble β-glucan, core immunomodulator, enhancing immune cells activity and antioxidant capacity.

  • Ergosterol: Precursor of vitamin D2, with skin wellness support, anti-inflammatory effects and skin health benefits.

  • Other Compounds: Contains ergothioneine, GABA, amino acids and trace elements, enhancing nutritional value.

Benefits

  • Immune Modulation: Enhances immune cell activity, improves resistance to pathogens, suitable for low-immunity and sub-healthy groups.

  • Anti-Fatigue & Energy Enhancement: Promotes ATP synthesis, relieves fatigue, improves exercise endurance and work efficiency.

  • Antioxidant & skin wellness support: Scavenges free radicals, delays aging; in cosmetics, improves skin elasticity and brightens tone.

  • Cardiovascular & Respiratory Support: Dilates blood vessels, protects heart and blood vessels, relieves cough and supports lung health.

  • Liver & Kidney Protection: Reduces liver damage, promotes liver cell repair, and alleviates kidney fatigue.
