About Product

Organic cordyceps mushroom extract powder is derived from the species of mushrooms known as Cordyceps.

Sinensis is commonly found in the Himalayan mountain range. Cordyceps mushrooms have been used in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) for over two thousand years.

In the 15th century, it was written about in the ancient Chinese herbal medicine book Ben Cao Gang Mu.

This book, written by Li Shizhen, is considered one of the most influential works of Chinese principles. Today, Cordyceps mushrooms are still used in traditional Chinese medicine and have become popular in many other parts of the world for their purported qualities.

They are often found in various formulated products or as an ingredient in various teas and beverages. The powder is made from the fruiting bodies of the mushroom, which are dried and ground into a fine powder.
