Dietary supplements & Cordyceps medicinal mushroom capsules Dietary supplements should not be considered a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Chinese or Tibetan caterpillar fungus, grows in the high-altitude regions of Asia and is highly valued there due to its rarity. As a member of the Ascomycota (sac fungi), the genus Cordyceps primarily colonizes caterpillars and develops slender fruiting bodies. The fungus has been known for over 1,000 years and was first mentioned in Chinese writings in the 15th century. It remains highly regarded in China to this day. Cordyceps in capsule form as a supplement These vegan Cordyceps medicinal mushroom capsules contain a combination of Cordyceps powder, extract, and acerola powder. The mushroom is characterized by a high protein content and low sodium content, with cordycepin playing a key role. Cultivated Cordyceps, grown in nutrient solutions, can achieve higher concentrations of specific ingredients than its wild-growing counterpart. The capsules are ideally suited for a vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free diet.
