1. What is Cordyceps extract?
The extract is obtained from the fungus Cordyceps sinesis . This fungus is found primarily in Tibet . The fungus thrives at altitudes of up to 5,000 meters. Cordyceps is a parasite that infects the caterpillars of a certain moth.
It infects the butterfly caterpillar and then forms its fruiting bodies on it. This is a death sentence for the caterpillar, as the fungus continues to spread and completely overgrows the caterpillar with its mycelium, so that it eventually looks like a mushroom growing out of the ground.
The mushroom gets its name from its shape, which resembles a club. This gives rise to its scientific name. The name Cordyceps comes from the Greek words " cordyle " (club) and "ceps" (head). The mushroom has a bluish-black color. Today, Cordyceps is cultivated.
Today, Cordyceps extract is considered an awakening and refreshing agent , used, among other things, to increase concentration . In Chinese medicine, the fresh mushroom is used especially to combat weakness and exhaustion, as well as persistent fatigue .
