Cordyceps Extract is a standardized botanical concentrate derived from the mycelium or fruiting bodies of Cordyceps sinensis (now classified as Ophiocordyceps sinensis) or Cordyceps militaris, medicinal fungi with a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Known as Dong Chong Xia Cao (冬虫夏草, “winter worm, summer grass”), Cordyceps has been valued for centuries as a tonic for vitality, stamina, and immune health.
The primary bioactive components are:
Cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine): A nucleoside analog with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties.
Cordycepic acid (D-mannitol): A sugar alcohol with diuretic and antioxidant effects.
Polysaccharides: High molecular weight β-glucans with immune-stimulating activity.
Adenosine: A nucleoside involved in energy metabolism and cellular signaling.
Because wild Cordyceps sinensis is rare and expensive, commercial extracts are typically produced from cultivated Cordyceps militaris or fermented mycelium (Cs-4 strain), which offer similar bioactive profiles at a more accessible cost. Cordyceps Extract is widely used in dietary supplements, sports nutrition, and functional foods targeting energy, endurance, immune support, and healthy aging.
Source: Cordyceps sinensis (wild or cultivated) or Cordyceps militaris (cultivated); fermented mycelium (Cs-4)
Extraction: Hot water or hydroalcoholic extraction, followed by concentration and drying
Standardization Options:
| Grade | Cordycepin (HPLC) | Polysaccharides (UV-Vis) | Mannitol | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5% Cordycepin | ≥0.5% | ≥10% | ≥5% | Standard supplements |
| 1.0% Cordycepin | ≥1.0% | ≥20% | ≥5% | High-potency energy support |
| 2.0% Cordycepin | ≥2.0% | ≥30% | ≥8% | Premium formulations |
| 3.0% Cordycepin | ≥3.0% | ≥40% | ≥10% | Research, high-grade extracts |
The raw material of Cordyceps sinensis extract depends on the raw material price of the extraction source, and there may be seasonal fluctuations. LyvBio also has different gradient pricing for quantities, and different amounts correspond to transportation costs. For example, 1kg-25kg is usually shipped by international express. For bulk quantity, by air or sea transportation will be considered. Therefore, the accurate price needs to be calculated according to different situations. If you are interested in bulk Cordyceps sinensis extract powder, you can call Mr. Alex, our product manager of Cordyceps sinensis extract (info@lyvbio.com). He will timely back pricing, quality documents, free samples, and other matters.
As the leading manufacturer of Cordyceps sinensis extract, LyvBio Co., Ltd has been producing Cordyceps sinensis extract for 10 years. To meet the formula design requirements of different customers, LyvBio has been looking for a breakthrough in terms of specifications. 
Q: What is the difference between Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris?
R : Cordyceps sinensis (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) is the wild, rare species traditionally used in TCM. Cordyceps militaris is a related species that can be cultivated and contains similar bioactive compounds, including cordycepin. Commercial extracts are often derived from C. militaris or fermented C. sinensis mycelium (Cs-4).
Q: What is cordycepin and why is it important?
A: Cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine) is a nucleoside analog and one of the key bioactive compounds in Cordyceps. It has been studied for its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
Q: What is the recommended dosage for energy and stamina?
A: Clinical studies typically use 500 – 1,500 mg per day of a standardized extract, often standardized to ≥1% cordycepin.
Q: Is Cordyceps Extract suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes, Cordyceps extract is fungal-derived and suitable for vegetarian and vegan applications.
Q: Does Cordyceps interact with medications?
A: Cordyceps may interact with immunosuppressants, blood thinners, and diabetes medications. Consult a healthcare professional before use.
