Cordyceps Tincture (1:4)

Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) alcohol-free tincture made from purified fungal mycelium

What is Chinese Caterpillar Fungus (Cordyceps militaris)?

As the name suggests, the Chinese caterpillar fungus is found in higher altitudes between 3,000 and 5,000 meters in open grasslands. Its fruiting body can grow up to 13 centimeters long and, with a bit of imagination, resembles a caterpillar with its brownish coloring and asymmetric folds. Although it may appear unimpressive at first glance, this fungus deserves more attention.

We use only the underground fungal network, known as mycelium, for our products. We place great importance on purity and sustainability, sourcing Cordyceps exclusively from ecologically responsible cultivation.

A Valuable Fungus – Newly Discovered

Cordyceps militaris, also known as Chinese caterpillar fungus, remained largely unknown in the Western world until 1994, when a Chinese athletics coach attributed his team’s success at the Asian Games in Hiroshima to the fungus.

In traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine, Cordyceps militaris has long been valued as a tonic believed to boost strength and performance. In India, the mushroom is considered a symbol of longevity and is used for a variety of conditions, including supporting the sleep-wake cycle, respiratory ailments, and immune system function.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views Cordyceps militaris as a warming tonic that nourishes the lungs, kidneys, and Qi—life energy. It is especially recommended for older individuals and used in cases of respiratory imbalances such as coughing, chronic shortness of breath, and sensitivity to cold.

The components of Cordyceps are well-researched and include numerous polysaccharides, nucleotides, sterols, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. These essential nutrients contribute to strengthening the immune system, boosting mitochondrial activity, and protecting cells from harmful influences.

With its wide range of uses and nutrient density, Cordyceps militaris has become an important part of traditional medicine across cultures.
