Cordyceps (Chinese caterpillar, Cordyceps sinensis) is the most powerful replenisher of lost energy among vital mushrooms. In Chinese medicine it is used to promote vitality, physical performance, endurance and to support libido.
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.

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:
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.

Se všemi produkty jsme já i moji blízcí velmi spokojení. Splňují všechna naše očekávání. Všem vřele doporučuji.
Dobrý den, chtěla bych touto cestou moc poděkovat Vaší společnosti, vám všem, hlavně paní Gluvňové, která mi v březnu minulého roku odpovídala na vyplněný diagnostický formulář. (originál e-mailu mi někam zmizel, proto píšu touto cestou a bohužel bez historie.) Vámi doporučené tinktury a preparáty zabraly přímo magicky a při následném umělém oplodnění v květnu, zavedení posledního embrya, které nám v mrazáku zbylo se dílo podařilo a dnes mi tu leží v postýlce malý, zdravý, donošený chlapeček. 😄 Jsme neuvěřitelně šťastni, nejšťastnější rodiče pod sluncem. Nikdo v to už nevěřil, po sedmi letech snažení se a 7-mi pokusech o ivf. TČM byla poslední možnost, kterou jsem zkusila, řekla jsem si, že do posledního pokusu dám vše a napsala i na Vaši poradnu. P. Gluvňová mi poradila, že nejdříve je nutno harmonizovat menstruační cyklus a doporučila vybrané tinktury. Tyto jsem si zakoupila a opravdu - následující menstruace byla jako v 16-ti - bez sedlin a krásně červená krev. NEVĚŘÍLA JSEM SVÝM OČÍM, co bylinky dokážou! Na akupunkturu jsem chodila do Sancai - Statenice, kde jsem si po zavedení embrya nechala vyrobit i bylinkovou směs, která se zalévala vždy večer horkou vodou. Zřejmě byla také namíchaná od Vás, jelikož i další tinktury byly od Yao Medica. Popravdě, nevěřila jsem, že se mi podaří otěhotnět. Nejhorší je to čekání na pozitivní test (14 dní). K mému velkému překvapení byl test pozitivní - poprvé v mém životě! Řekla bych, že se u mě stal přímo ZÁZRAK! Celé těhotenství mimo stresů s naší tradiční medicínou a těhotenskou diabetes v závěru (šla zvládnout dietou) považuji za zvládnutelné, po porodu plánovaným císařským řezem 01.02.2024 mám dokonce o 10 kg. méně, než před otěhotněním a za celé těhotenství jsem přibrala asi jen 5-6 kg. Chci velice poděkovat Vašemu týmu za vše, co jste pro mě udělali. Prosím, tento e-mail můžete připojit do referencí- na stránkách jsem přímo nenašla, tak volím tuto cestu. Přílohou posílám foto našeho andílka a ještě jednou mnohokrát děkuji.
Naprostá spokojenost!
