About Cordyceps

Cordyceps (Chinese caterpillar, Cordyceps sinensis) was one of the most valuable mushrooms used in ancient China and Tibet to harmonize the mind and body. This alien mushroom is a rich source of beta-glucans, minerals, trace elements and vitamins.

Its power has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine. There are stories that describe how yak herders have observed a change in animals if they grazed Cordyceps. The animals were more vital, stronger, healthier and more potent.

Written records of Cordyceps can then be traced back to 620 AD. Cordyceps has only been known to the Western world since 1726, when it was introduced at a mycological conference in Paris. At that time, however, the Western world was unaware of the effects of Cordyceps. However, this changed, albeit much later, thanks to the fact that in 1964 Cordyceps was officially listed as a herbal medicine in Chinese pharmacology.

From a Chinese medicine perspective, it strengthens Yang and the essence of Ledvin and Yin Plic. The Kidneys are the source of all our energy, which is why the Caterpillar or Cordyceps is the most powerful energy "recharger" of all the vital mushrooms . According to Chinese medicine, the Kidneys are also responsible for reproduction and libido. Because of this, Cordyceps is able to support libido. It is also an excellent adaptogen, helping us to adapt to the ever-changing environment and keeping our body in harmony. Cordyceps is often taken by athletes because it can improve performance and recovery.

Cordyceps grows at altitudes above about 3,500 metres, but it is hardly found in the wild anymore. Apparently, in the last 25 years, its prevalence has decreased by 90%, which has naturally increased its value on the market, and this is why this mushroom is now cultivated.

We grow our Cordyceps by controlled cultivation on a nutrient solution based on cane sugar, crushed yellow beans, glucose, peptones to grow the Cordyceps mycelium. The part of the fungus used is the mycelium or mycelium from the liquid culture.

Quality testing

Just like you, we want to be absolutely sure that our mushrooms are 100% effective and safe. That's why we subject them to the most stringent tests on the market, not only for harmful substances, but also for effective ones such as polysaccharides, beta-glucans, terpenes, etc.

Mushrooms like to take in all sorts of substances from the environment in which they grow. In order to ensure that nothing unwanted gets into ours, we actually test them all the time: from harvesting to production to the finished product. You could say we are obsessed with testing.

We test MycoMedica mushrooms in laboratories in the USA, Ireland, Germany, as well as at the University of Science and Technology in Prague. We don't do random tests, but honestly test all mushroom raw material at all stages of the process. Top-notch facilities look for more than 350 harmful substances in mushrooms for us. For example:

  • Pesticides - we ensure that our mushrooms are not contaminated with any banned or dangerous chemicals used in agriculture
  • Heavy metals - we analyse for heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic to ensure that levels remain well below safety limits
  • radioactivity - we carefully monitor levels of radioactive isotopes to ensure that our products are completely safe for long-term consumption
  • polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are carcinogenic, can affect fetal development and have been linked to cardiovascular disease
  • microbial contaminants - we monitor for harmful micro-organisms including bacteria, moulds and yeasts to ensure the highest possible hygiene levels in our products

The tests we carry out are far more demanding than those required by legislation. We can attach a report to each individual capsule and tell you exactly where it came from.

Our mushrooms have been achieving excellent results in tests for 15 years.

 

We also test the active ingredients

Testing the polysaccharide content of our vital mushrooms is standard procedure for us to ensure the highest quality products. We guarantee a high content of polysaccharides, the most effective component of which is betaglucans, which are known for their benefits to the immune system. This guarantees that our mushrooms are not only pure, but also maximally effective.

In our company, we place great emphasis on the quality and safety of our products. Therefore, we strictly adhere to HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) standards in all our production processes. This system enables us to effectively identify and manage the risks associated with food production, thus ensuring maximum safety and satisfaction of our customers.

S nákupem jsem nespokojen. Nemá to nic společného s kvalitou zboží, ani s návody, povídání o zboží. Vše je bezva. Cenová politika je pravý opak. Ve Vašem obchodě jsem jednou nakoupil. Širší rodina chtěla také objednat houby reishi a cordyceps z Vašeho sortimentu a náhodou jsem zjistil, že internetové obchody mají při odběru dvou a více balení podstatné slevy přímo na Vaše zboží. Mrzí mně to, raději bych nakupoval přímo a cítím se tímto jednáním trochu podváděný, i když jasně respektuji Vaše právo na určování cen. Takto já nakoupím levněji Vaše zboží na jiném shopu a Vy jim zákonitě prodáváte ještě laciněji. Nechci koupí u Vás prodělávat, chci být spokojený zákazník, tak s tím něco udělejte. Co třeba místo dotazníku zaslat slevu na další nákupy a umožnit zákazníkovi koupi za shodných podmínek a zároveň více vydělat???
