Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi comprising over 600 documented species, with Cordyceps militaris and Ophiocordyceps sinensis being the most extensively studied. Referenced in classical texts such as the Ben Cao Cong Xin (1757) and Tibetan medical manuscripts, Cordyceps has been part of traditional Asian herbal practice for over 300 years. Modern research focuses on its naturally occurring compounds including cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine), adenosine, and beta-D-glucan polysaccharides.
The Most Studied Cordyceps Species — Over 1,200 Papers on PubMed
Cordyceps Militaris is a functional mushroom documented in traditional Chinese and Tibetan texts for over 300 years. It is now one of the most actively researched mushroom species, with scientists studying its naturally occurring cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine), adenosine, and beta-D-glucan content.
Here's what makes our 8:1 dual-extracted Cordyceps Militaris different:
Referenced in the Ben Cao Cong Xin (1757) and classified in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, Cordyceps Militaris is one of the few traditional mushrooms with an expanding body of modern peer-reviewed research.
Our extract is produced from 100% fruiting body grown in controlled indoor environments, dual-extracted to concentrate cordycepin, adenosine, and beta-D-glucans — then third-party tested to verify every batch.
Here's the breakdown of mushroom powders, hot-water extracts and dual extracts— explained simply, so you understand why extracts cost more and offer higher concentrations of bioactive compounds.
The whole mushroom, dried and ground. Provides fiber and nutrients, but most compounds stay locked unless you heat it in cooking or hot drinks.
Best for: Simple daily nutrition on a budget.
Mushrooms simmered for hours to release beta-glucans — the key water-soluble polysaccharides that make mushroom extracts more concentrated than raw powder. Dissolves instantly in hot liquids.
Best for: A convenient, concentrated daily mushroom extract.
Uses hot water + alcohol to pull out all compounds — including triterpenes and hericenones, which are alcohol-soluble and not extracted by hot water alone. The most concentrated, and the most premium.
Best for: The highest concentration of both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds.

To get the best texture and taste from your mushroom coffee, matcha, or extract powder, proper mixing is key.
These natural powders can clump if not blended well, especially in cold liquids. Here's how to ensure a consistently smooth cup:
Add the powder to a small amount of warm or hot water first. Stir thoroughly or use a frother for best results. Then, add the rest of your beverage such as water, milk, or plant-based alternatives.
Warm or hot water blends more easily and gives the smoothest finish. Cold liquids work too, just froth or stir a little longer.
