Five reasons this is the best Cordyceps mushroom in Australia
As probably know, most medicinal mushrooms are traditionally sourced from China. While they are the pioneers due to traditional Chinese medicine, the quality standards are significantly lower than in other countries. Air pollution, toxic soil, and chemicals all play a part in Chinese grown Cordyceps Sinensis, which usually comes in cordyceps mushroom extract powder even if ‘certified organic’ tests have shown high levels of heavy metals in these powders.
We source our Cordyceps Sinensis from the USA and grow our cordyceps militaris using liquid culture. Here are five reasons we stand by our cordyceps as the best in Australia:
- Our Cordyceps are grown in the pristine hinterland of Byron Bay, Australia. We use no chemicals, sprays, unnecessary preservatives or pesticides. Our USA sourced cordyceps are from a partner who also has the same rigorous testing and quality control as we do. This removed the potential for any unwanted toxins.
- Our Cordyceps extract contain no brown rice. Other Corcycep products contain around 10-30% brown rice. This is because it is the most popular medium to use in the growing process. Unfortunately, most don’t have the technology to remove the extra grains, so while you’re paying for mushrooms, you’re actually getting a cheap filler!
- Our Cordyceps incorporates both the fruiting body and mycelium to give you the ability to access the full spectrum benefits of this fungi.
- Our dual-extraction process is one of the most prolonged and most meticulous. Most other mushroom companies extract in 1-3 hours. Our extraction process takes over a month. It’s painstaking but results in the best product on the market. We are constantly experimenting to strengthen the quality of our cordyceps. The end result is a product that delivers more vitality! We stand by this with a money-back guarantee!
- Our customers keep coming back for more! Most of our clients are repeat clients who began with a one time purchase then switched out to a subscription. Our cordyceps customer reviews based solely on a cordyceps purchase are all five-star. Check out the positive reviews!
Cordyceps mushroom powders vs Extracts – what’s the difference?
Most mushroom extract powder originates from China. As we mentioned earlier, the quality of this powder will most likely be substandard. Whether it’s in powder form or capsules, we suggest avoiding altogether.
- Mushroom extract powder contains ‘chitin’, which is difficult for your digestive system to process. If you want the highest quality, most bioavailable Australian or the USA grown medicinal mushrooms, we suggest avoiding the powder and opting for dual-extract.
- According to research, dual-extract is the gold standard for consuming medicinal mushrooms.
- The other benefit of dual-extraction is its ability for this medicine to be absorbed straight into your system. When the alcohol in the extract touches the receptors under your tongue, they open up and absorb the extract straight into your system.
- Powder is also hard to mix into drinks. Our extract can go straight into your favourite beverage for that extra boost. Whether it’s your morning coffee, smoothie or pre-workout for an extra dose of physical performance, we’ve got you covered!
- Who knows what else you’re getting in that extract powder. Most companies simply feed it into a grinder and any insects or bugs living in the mushroom. We hand harvest and dry all of our mushrooms. So quality control is second to none.
The health benefits of Cordyceps mushroom – what does the research say?
- Physical performance – According to this 2011 study Cordyceps improved tolerance to high-intensity exercise. Cordyceps can improve performance by increasing blood flow, enhancing oxygen utilization, and acting as an antioxidant.
- Faster recovery – According to the same study, Cordyceps enhanced oxygen utilization and blood flow, especially the liver and non-exercising skeletal muscle. It also enhanced lactate clearance. This may allow athletes to maintain a higher intensity of exercise, while the reduction of oxidative stress from high-intensity exercise may delay fatigue. This is a big deal when it comes to physical performance. Rather than reaching for that gnarley chemical-laden pre-workout drink, go for the natural herbs and see the impact Cordyceps has on your body.
- Enhances mitochondrial function – This is huge. This 2010 study shows the “Protective effects on mitochondria and anti-aging activity of polysaccharides from cultivated fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris” So not only does it improve energy and physical performance, but its’ also anti-aging.
- Increase ATP production – ATP is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells. This 2007 study showed the enhancement of ATP generation and triphosphate. Just another avenue Cordyceps can have improve overall energy level naturally.
