Why we like the Caterpillar Mushroom (Cordyceps sinensis) Liquid Extract (alcohol-free) from Glückspilze

The Cordyceps sinensis (caterpillar fungus) liquid extracts are produced using a unique, specially developed process. This new manufacturing technology sets the products apart from other mushroom preparations. This is because this new technology makes it possible for the first time to extract all of the mushrooms' organic and inorganic active ingredients and concentrate them in liquid form. This creates a holistic mushroom extract of the highest quality.

The powder extracts available to date are pure hot water extracts and contain only the water-soluble mushroom ingredients, ie mainly the polysaccharides. Other valuable substances which have a lipophilic character, such as poorly water-soluble triterpenes and fat-soluble vitamins, are missing in the conventional powder extract.

The liquid extracts, on the other hand, contain not only polysaccharides and peptidoglycans but also many other valuable organic substances found in the Hericium mushrooms. These include essential amino acids, triterpenes, minerals (Ca, P, Na, K) and trace elements (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Se), as well as vitamins (ergosterol - a precursor of vitamin D2).

The new formula also improves bioavailability, i.e. how well the active ingredients contained in the extract can be absorbed and used by the body. The new and innovative manufacturing process creates a product with which the entire active spectrum of the mushrooms can be ideally absorbed by the body in a highly concentrated liquid form.

The Cordyceps sinensis mushrooms are grown on certified raw materials that come 100% from organic farming and are gently dried after harvest in order to preserve the ingredients as much as possible.

The next step is alcoholic extraction. Only pure bio-ethanol, distilled from organically grown grain, is used as the extraction agent. This extraction step takes several days; the alcohol-soluble ingredients are dissolved from the mushrooms.

The mushrooms are then filtered and prepared for the next extraction step. The alcohol from the extract is evaporated by distillation so that the final product is alcohol-free.

In the next step, the remaining mushrooms are extracted with water; this process dissolves the water-soluble substances from the mushroom material.

At the end of the production process, the two extracts are combined and homogenized with organic vegetable glycerin from sunflower seeds.

Glycerin is a completely body-friendly substance that surrounds the vitamin and mineral molecules and prevents quality defects from affecting the active ingredients during storage. Glycerin also supports absorption, so that valuable active ingredients can be absorbed even in the case of intestinal problems, and it gives the liquid extract a pleasant taste.

About Cordyceps sinensis or caterpillar fungus

Modern scientists have analyzed its ingredients and confirmed numerous effects. In addition to vitamins and trace elements, the caterpillar fungus contains essential amino acids and high-quality polysaccharides.

In addition, ingredients such as cordycepin, ophicordin and galactomannan make this mushroom so incredibly interesting. Athletes also use them, as they are not banned as doping agents. Athletes in Asian cultures have long used cordyceps to increase energy and endurance.

In 1993, five world records in running were broken by the same team at the Chinese National Championships in Beijing. Ma Junren, the coach of this team, revealed when asked by reporters that his athletes owed their strength and endurance to the Cordyceps mushroom.

The effects of these mushrooms that are of interest to humans are documented in Chinese herbal books that are up to 2,000 years old. Cordyceps species, especially C. sinensis and C. militaris, are said to strengthen the life energy "Qi".

The genetic profile of our Cordyceps corresponds exactly to that of the wild-growing variety and is grown under conditions that it also finds in its natural habitat.

Distribution and habitat in nature: It grows exclusively on caterpillars of the genus Thitarodes in the plateaus of Tibet between 3,000 and 5,000 m.

Suitable substrate: Dried silkworms
