Question 1

What's the best ways to maximize absorption of this product?

Accepted Answer

Hi Serd,Great question as there are many opinions out there. Some say empty stomach. Some say with food. Some say without food. Some say under the tongue. I've never seen any research that shows one way is better over the other. I've seen no proven way for optimal absorption. Just do whatever is most convenient for you. Let me know if you have any further questions.JenniferCustomer Happiness SpecialistReal Mushrooms

Question 2

what is the ratio of this product?

Accepted Answer

Hey!

Thanks for reaching out!

Here is more information on our extract ratios:

Our extracts range from 1:1 to 16:1 but we do not list them specifically as we believe extract ratios have only limited value when not accompanied with active compound testing.

For example, without analytical testing there’s no way to know whether a 10:1 extract is more concentrated than a 4:1 extract. It is also possible to have two products with the same extract ratio yet with completely different levels of active compounds.

Also note that the higher the extract ratio, the more dense and sticky the final product gets so in order to keep it as a free flowing powder, a carrier is often added. This will dilute the potency. This is why measurement of active compounds and starch is so important.

Extract ratios can also be misrepresented. For example, fresh mushrooms are typically 90% water so the wet to dry ratio is 10:1. Some products use this ratio saying their products are a 10:1 extract (10lb of fresh mushrooms = 1lb of powder) when in reality it’s just a 1:1 (1lb of dried mushrooms = 1lb of powder). All extract ratios should be based off dry weight.

Without analytical testing of active compounds and starch measurements to show purity, extract ratios have limited value. Higher extract ratio does not equate to higher potency.

For these reasons, we do not specifically publish our extract ratios. If you’d like to know, just contact us.

The amount of active compounds in our products are some of the highest in the marketplace and the low levels of starch demonstrate the purity of our products.

I hope that helps! :)

Question 3

Somewhere in these questions you write "Cordycepin is a good identifier compound for Cordyceps militaris" So why don't you specify it ?

Accepted Answer

Hey!

Thanks for reaching out!

The reason we don't specifically list Cordycepin as a good identifier in Cordyceps Militaris is b/c the percentages vary per lot. Hence why we list the greater than amounts on the label.

A unique feature to Cordyceps Militaris is that it displays higher levels of cordycepin. It also has greater levels of beta glucans (30% beta glucans) compared to Cs-4, which typically has around 10% beta glucans. Cordyceps Militaris seems to display many of the same health benefits that wild cordyceps has.

Question 4

Can you tell me what is cordyceps militaris and cordyceps sinensis ? i am so confused .

Accepted Answer

Hey Daniel!

Here are the main differences between Cordyceps Militaris and Cordyceps Cs-4

Cordyceps Militaris: is a fruiting body extract, processed by hot water extraction

Cordyceps Cs-4: is a pure mycelium via liquid fermentation

A unique feature of Cordyceps Militaris is that it displays higher levels of cordycepin. It also has greater levels of beta-glucans (30% beta-glucans) compared to Cs-4, which typically has around 10% beta-glucans. Cordyceps Militaris seems to display many of the same health benefits that wild cordyceps has, which is huge considering just how expensive wild cordyceps is to find and harvest.

Here are some interesting studies displaying the benefits of both Cordyceps M and Cs-4:

Cs-4 studies
-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3110835/
-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12165189

Cordyceps Militaris studies
-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26351509
-https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27008597

We talk more extensively about the benefits of both Cs-4 and Militaris towards the bottom of the blog post where it says "Benefits of Cordyceps."
