Vitakruid Cordyceps CPA3 mycelium extract 12:1Cordyceps: the imperial mushroom
Cordyceps is also known as the imperial mushroom due to its long history in traditional medicine. This unique mushroom naturally occurs only in mountainous regions, such as the high plateaus of the Himalayas. Here, it is exposed to harsh and cold conditions.
Cordyceps is also known as the caterpillar fungus because it has a unique life cycle. In nature, Cordyceps grows on insects, primarily caterpillars. As the fungus develops, it takes over the caterpillar. Eventually, the caterpillar dies, and the mushroom grows above ground.
Isolated from wild Cordyceps sinensis
Natural Cordyceps sells for a price of at least $40,000 per kilogram. Fortunately, after years of research, scientists have succeeded in isolating and multiplying mycelia (fungal threads) from wild Cordyceps sinensis using a special fermentation technique.
May bear the name Cordyceps
The fungus is cultivated in a natural nutrient solution. At the end of the growth process, the fungus has absorbed all the liquid, creating a powerful concentrate: Cordyceps CS-4. Scientific studies show that the chemical composition of CS-4 is almost identical to natural Cordyceps. This allows CS-4 to officially bear the name "Cordyceps."
Cultivated under controlled climatic conditions
Cordyceps is cultivated in China, a country where mushrooms have played a central role in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. Thanks to this age-old tradition, Chinese farmers have developed unparalleled expertise in cultivating Cordyceps.
For the highest quality, several factors are crucial: clean air, clean water, a specific climate, carefully selected growing material, and sufficient time for natural growth. This combination ensures that the mushrooms can thrive optimally, resulting in a product of the best quality.
Cultivation takes place in the pristine natural areas of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, far from industrial areas and other sources of pollution. This is of great importance, as mushrooms are susceptible to absorbing heavy metals and pesticides.
Unique triple standardization CPA³
Cordyceps CPA³ is the first cordyceps extract on the Dutch market that is standardized for the three most important active ingredients. This means that the supplement is guaranteed to contain 30% polysaccharides, 1% cordycepin, and 0.5% adenosine.
High concentration and pure Cordyceps extract (12:1)
In addition, this supplement offers an exceptionally high concentration of the Cordyceps mushroom, meaning you benefit optimally with just one dose. For example, 1 gram of Cordyceps sinensis extract is equivalent to 12 grams of the mushroom.
