What Is The % Of Polysaccharides In The Cordyceps Powder?

Our Cordyceps contain 50% polysaccharides. 

This helps you to boost your immune health. And suppresses inflammation – so your body can fight infections more easily.

What Is The Fruiting Body? Is It Different From Mycelium?

Fruiting Body:

What you would visually recognize as a mushroom. It’s fleshy and contains spores.

Usually grows above ground or directly on the surface of its host – like a tree or old log.

Made up of a stem, cap, and gills. It’s what you might eat in a culinary dish.

Mycelium:

The main body and feeding membrane of a mushroom. 

It grows underground or within the host plant.

Think of it like the ‘roots’ of the mushroom. 

Is Antioxi's Cordyceps Made Up Of Fruiting Body Or Mycelium? 

When it comes to Cordyceps CS-4, which is a strain of cordyceps it does not produce a fruiting body and only produces a mycelial biomass. The beauty however is that CS4 is genetically similar to cordycyeps sinensis allowing for all the good stuff at an affordable cost. 

I’m Confused -- What’s The Difference Between The Raw Mushroom, The Powder And The Powder Extract?

Here’s a simplified summary of each:

Raw mushroom = the whole mushroom.

Mushroom powder = dried mushrooms -- ground into powder. Goes into giant pressure cookers - that pre-digest the cell walls.

Mushroom powder extract = dried mushrooms -- ground into powder. The powder is cooked with water/alcohol, so that the medicinal compounds can be extracted. A spray dryer removes the liquid - leaving you with a fully-active powder.

Antioxi’s Cordyceps products are powder extracts. Here’s why that’s beneficial to you. 
The long-term cooking process allows for…
1. Better control over the mushroom’s medicinal properties that remain in the final product. So your quick intake can go a long way. And improve your health.
2. Beta D Glucans can be up to 15 times more concentrated in powder extracts - compared to powders. 
So you can benefit from more natural immune-boosters.
3. Easier access for your body to the medicinal goodness. And easier absorption too.
 

Should I Get The Cordyceps Capsules Or The Powder? Which Is Better?

They’re both essentially the same. Only their forms are different.

The powder = mushroom powder extract.

The capsules = mushroom powder extract – in capsule form.

So really, it comes down to your personal preference.

Don’t mind taking tablets with a good ol’ glass of water? → By all means, get the capsules.
Prefer to mix powders in your smoothies, tea, coffee etc? → Then go for the powdered version.

Either way – you’ll enjoy the same medicinal benefits!

How Are The Nutrients Extracted From Mushrooms? 

Simply put -- during the extraction process, the mushroom’s nutrients are dissolved as much as possible. 
This can be done with...

-Hot Water

-Alcohol

-Both (Double Extraction)

Antioxi’s Cordyceps products have a water-based extraction. This helps dissolve the most Beta-Glucans – which is the ingredient that helps balance your immune system.

Why? Well, because the extraction affects both the quality AND effectiveness of your supplement.

Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Shiitake & Maitake mushroom products
