Cordyceps Sinensis (Mushroom)

Cordyceps sinensis (now classified as Ophiocordyceps sinensis) is a fungus of the Tibetan plateau whose wild fruiting body is scarce; commercial supply is based on cultured mycelium. Nustras supplies Cordyceps sinensis mycelium extract as a brown to yellow fine powder, produced by water and ethanol extraction and standardised to polysaccharides by UV spectrophotometry, for dietary supplement manufacturing. Cordyceps contains polysaccharides, nucleosides such as adenosine, and sterols.

Cordyceps extract is formulated into mushroom supplements in capsule, tablet and powder form, into multi-mushroom blends, into sports-nutrition products and into functional beverages and coffee blends.

Appearance: brown to yellow fine powder. The extract is standardised to a minimum polysaccharide content per specification, assayed by UV spectrophotometry; identity is confirmed by thin-layer chromatography or HPLC against an adenosine reference. Extraction solvent, loss on drying, heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Cordyceps sinensis extract in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed packaging and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot; material of Chinese origin is currently offered. Cordyceps mycelium extract is an accepted supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the regulatory status, permitted level and claim for their application.
