For many centuries the Cordyceps sinensis fungus has been one of the most appreciated remedies of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Orthomolecular therapy also takes advantage of its wide variety of interesting properties.
It is also very popular with athletes, who use it during training and competitions.
The most important active substances are cordycepin and cordiceptic acids (6%) and polysaccharides.
The synergy between the different components causes more effect than the sum of the parts.
Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus that in nature lives as a parasite on worms.
The set of mummified worms and the fungus has traditionally been used in dried form
The Bonusan Cordyceps sinensis mycelium comes from growing on substrates and contains only the mycelium (hyphae or filaments) of the fungus, the part with the highest concentration of biologically active substances.
The cultivation is carried out without worms.
Cultivation in substrate has several advantages, among others, it improves quality control, the standardization of active substances and offers a higher purity of the product. All this contributes to more reliable results.
In addition, liquid chromatography has shown that wild and cultivated varieties have an identical chemical profile.
Apart from this, we prefer cultivated products because the great demand for the wild variety, already scarce, would put too much pressure on it.
The most outstanding characteristics of the Cordyceps sinensis mycelium: -Standardized to 6% cordyceptic acids for a reliable result -Contains exclusively filaments of the mycelium that contain most of the -active substances -Multiple applications -Very suitable for athletes
