Q: Habitat and distribution

Cordyceps is only found in Highlands of the Himalayas , limited to an altitude of between 3000 and 5000 meters. Therefore, it is mainly in the Tibet and in parts of Bután, China and Nepal . C. sinensis It never appears in clusters, but always alone and exclusively in ORUGAS . Partly to the great demand for copies collected in the wild and its geographical restriction, the cordyceps continues to be marketed today at very high and sometimes heavy prices in gold. As wild specimens are marketed by weight, collectors sometimes have the unfortunate trend of shaking with strange substances, such as lead or other heavy metals. If this is overlooked during subsequent processing, intoxication may occur in the worst case. However, fungi collected in a wild are essential in traditional Chinese medicine and enjoy great popularity.

Q: Mycological notes

He Cordyceps sinensis , together with the Reishi and the Lion's Mane , is one of the most popular natural remedies in traditional Asian medicine. According to the volume The wild edible fungi - global perspective of their use and importance for the population edited by FAO, this fungus "Eat" only for what it contributes . It grows naturally in the high plateaus of Tibet and has been collected intensely in areas of China, Bután and Nepal. In fact, the economic importance of cordyceps is huge, especially in Tibet. Parts of the population are completely specialized in the collection of wild specimens and, consequently, depend on the development of the population of fungi. It is estimated that the collection and sale of cordyceps represents 20-30% of the agricultural products of the Tibet.

Cordyceps fungus: one of Tibet's best saved secrets

He Cordyceps(Cordyceps sinensis) It has a long career in Asia. Since the 80s they have been counted More than 2,000 scientific articles About this fungus and the various media such as BBC British have made reports of why the Tibetan Treasury is discussed. It is known by many names, such as ‘Seta or fungus of Oruga’, ‘Tochukaso’ either ‘Tocheikasa’ in Japan; ‘Dong Chon Xia Cao’ in China; ‘Chong Cao’, ‘Yartsa Gunbu’ or ‘Ophiocordyceps Sinensis’. Or also ‘Jera Jhar’, ‘Jeevan Buti’, ‘Keeda Ghass’, ‘Chyou Kira’, ‘Sanjeevani Bhoti’, common names in Nepal.

Essential notes of this fungus

Cordyceps is an acquaintance fungus rich in natural active biomolecules such as beta-glycanos, Ergosterol o Provitamin D, essential amino acids, linoleic and linolenic acid. Highlights its high content in CORDYPIN and, next to Corddictpic acid and the adenosinewhich contains cordyceps, they make it a cocktail Unique with high functional value and of great scientific interest. The numerous traditional uses of this fungus have led science in general, and our R&D equipment In particular, to study it intensely.

Documented Cordyceps Uses

He C.sinensis It is not a common fungus that can be eaten like the boletus or the Shiitake. It is consumed as the Reishi or the Chaga, fundamentally as concentrated extract (as the supplement called Mico-Cord), in powder (Cordy-Sin Sport) or dehydrated and ground because it has a very hard consistency. Traditionally it is used as a condiment of soups, meat stuffed or as a complement to stews and vegetables.

Quality and purity

Like other pure fungi, cordyceps powder (Vital cordyceps,) is also prepared in infusion and/or is used in healthy milkshakes, for example, a smoothie. However, the Greater concentration of active ingredients of cordyceps is in your extract, which can be obtained with sustainable technologies, without denaturing their compounds, managing to concentrate the active biomolecules of its composition. This is the case of Hifas-Equilibrium, which contains pure biofermented extract of C. sinensis, among other species.

Cordyceps cultivation

Thanks to scientific research, it is possible to cultivate a certain strain of cordyceps in bioreactor. This cultivation system allows its production in a completely natural liquid substrate from which the cordyceps mycelium is obtained, whose wealth in active biomolecules is like that of the wild carpophore.

Featured Biomolecules

The highest quality concentrated active biomolecules are found in the composition of Cordyceps sinensis, such as:

Beta-glucanos
Natural cordepine
Wing and al
- Α-linolenic acid (wing) and linoleic acid (al), essential polyunsaturated fatty acids of the Omega-3 and Omega-6 series
Adenosines
Corddictpic acid
Ergosterol

The culture in bioreactors

Maximum quality, purity and power in our production systems

One of the Hifas Research Lines Da Terra more powerful focuses on the continuous improvement of Cultivation of different species in bioreactors (Reishi, Mamena de León, Shiitake and Maitake) using certified ecological substrates, as well as in the standardization of the quality of origin ingredients to guarantee the Excellence in the final product That develops with each fungus.

Hifas Quality System

Through a standard of its own quality, We identify biomolecules and active ingredients, We properly select the strains of fungi that contain them, we use own and specific analytical systems and we apply protocols for Analysis in different production phases. Thanks to this rigorous system we offer natural products, supplements and nutraceutics, with KNAGE QUALITY SYSTEM WARRANTY, making the difference with respect to other products in terms of purity and premium quality.

With the arrival of spring and the first thaws, the shepherds climbed with their cattle to the high areas of the mountains so that they could feed. After ingesting brown grass (cordyceps), yaks, goats and sheep had a behavior similar to that of Épocas of heat.
Some species of cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) They also grow in our latitudes. The C. militaris is also produced by biotechnology and, once dry, it is usually added to soups and stews. Its components are very similar to those of C. sinensis. However, to know what they are and their concentration we must acquire quality products with a standardization of active biomolecules.
