Cordyceps Mushroom 10:1 Dual Extract Capsules

About Cordyceps 10:1 Mushroom Dual Extract Capsules

Our Cordyceps Mushroom 10:1 Dual Extract Capsules deliver 250mg of Cordyceps militaris fruiting body extract per capsule, standardized to 0.3% cordycepin. The dual water and alcohol extraction concentrates both water-soluble beta-glucans and alcohol-soluble bioactives like cordycepin, giving you an extract that supports energy, cognitive function, and overall vitality.

Our Cordyceps 10:1 Mushroom Dual Extract Capsules Story

We noticed a persistent gap in the Cordyceps market. Traditional 1:1 extracts, while useful, tend to prioritize beta-glucan content while leaving other compounds behind. Cordycepin, the compound that drives many of the cognitive and energy benefits people seek, requires alcohol extraction to reach meaningful concentrations, and many single-extraction products miss it entirely.

We built this product around a 10:1 dual extraction process that captures both fractions. By running water and alcohol extractions on the fruiting bodies, we concentrate the water-soluble polysaccharides alongside cordycepin, then standardize to 0.3% cordycepin so each capsule delivers a consistent, verifiable dose.

Benefits

• Promotes Energy And Physical Performance: Cordyceps militaris supports healthy cellular energy production and helps you maintain sustained energy through workouts and daily activities.
• Supports Immune System Health: The beta-glucan content supports healthy immune function and balanced responses to the everyday stressors you encounter.
• Supports Cognitive Function: The standardized cordycepin content supports healthy neurological function, memory, and mental clarity during demanding tasks.
• Enhances Endurance: Cordyceps supports healthy oxygen utilization and cardiovascular function, qualities tied to its traditional use in high-altitude environments.

Taken together, these effects make Cordyceps a useful addition for anyone focused on sustained energy and steady focus throughout the day.

Quality and Standardization

• Cordycepin Standardization: We standardize our Cordyceps militaris extract to 0.3% cordycepin, the key bioactive that distinguishes this species.
• 10:1 Extract Ratio: Each capsule provides 250mg of a 10:1 fruiting body extract concentrated from Cordyceps militaris.
• Dual Extraction: Our water and alcohol extraction captures both water-soluble beta-glucans and alcohol-soluble cordycepin from the fruiting bodies.
• Analytical Testing: Our extract has characteristics of the botanical reference material by HPTLC, matching to the BRM specification.
• Sourcing: We use Cordyceps militaris fruiting body, not mycelium grown on grain, for a cleaner and more bioactive-rich extract.

Mechanism of Action

• Adenosine Receptor Modulation: Cordycepin acts as an adenosine analog, interacting with adenosine receptors to support healthy cellular signaling involved in metabolism and energy homeostasis.
• ATP Synthesis Support: By modulating adenosine pathways, cordycepin supports efficient ATP synthesis within mitochondria for sustained cellular energy output.
• Beta-Glucan Immune Activation: Beta-glucans engage pattern recognition receptors to support healthy immune function and the body's natural defense mechanisms.
• Polysaccharide-Mediated Cellular Support: Water-soluble polysaccharides from the dual extraction support cellular health and balanced physiological responses.

Overview of the Science

Research on Cordyceps points to its role in exercise and energy metabolism. Animal studies suggest that Cordyceps may help support exercise endurance capacity by activating skeletal muscle metabolic regulators [1], and work on cordycepin indicates it may support an anti-fatigue effect through the TIGAR/SIRT1/PGC-1alpha signaling pathway [2].

Immune-related research is also growing. A randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a Cordyceps militaris beverage on immune response in healthy adults [3], while other studies report immunomodulatory and antioxidative activity of Cordyceps militaris polysaccharides [4], broader immune-stimulatory potential across Cordyceps species [5], and a Cordyceps polysaccharide marker that may modulate immune responses via a selective TLR4/MyD88/p38 axis [6].

For cognition, research suggests cordycepin may help support cognitive function and neuroprotection. Some studies indicate cordycepin may support cognitive outcomes under hypobaric hypoxia conditions partly by suppressing the TLR4/NF-kB/MMP-9 pathway [7], may influence learning in a Y-maze task [8], may offer neuroprotection in NMDA-induced excitotoxicity by modulating adenosine A1 receptors [9], and may modulate microglial M2 polarization alongside mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming [10].

Ingredients

Cordyceps militaris Extract (fruiting body):

• Botanical source: Cordyceps militaris, fruiting body
• Standardization: 0.3% cordycepin
• Extract ratio: 10:1
• Amount per serving: 250mg
• Testing: Has characteristics of BRM by HPTLC (spec matches to BRM)

The 0.3% cordycepin standardization ensures consistent levels of the bioactive that sets Cordyceps militaris apart from other mushrooms. Our 10:1 dual extraction concentrates both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds from the fruiting bodies. This gives a more potent extract than simple powdered mushroom products, with reliable cordycepin content in every capsule. Lactose free, gluten free, non-GMO, and vegan.
