Cordyceps Mushroom

We recommend starting with 1/2 tsp (1.7g) per day. When your body feels ready, you can increase your dosage according to your needs and daily requirements.

The daylight hours may be best. Cordyceps is not a stimulant, however, it can be quite energizing for some people.

Yes, absolutely! In fact, we recommend it. Combining these tonic herbs together will actually enhance their efficacy, not reduce it. From an immune perspective, as it is known, mushrooms target different areas of your body’s immune system. Therefore, it may be beneficial to consume a variety of different mushroom species to elicit a more intelligent and broad-based immune response. Much like it is best for us to eat a diet consisting of a variety of foods within each food group. This gives your body the fuel that it needs to function optimally. Mushrooms comply to the same principle. The more, the better, the smarter we are!

No, Teelixir Cordyceps mushroom is grown using a strain of the wild material which is liquid fermented in large tanks and then produced into an extract. This process is very different compared to mycelium grown on grain products. There is no residual grains, starch, added mycelium, or fillers contained in our extract.

The cultivation of Cordyceps sinensis began in China in 1972. The mushroom biomass (mycelium) is grown in large tanks using modern “fermentation” technology. The great benefit of this is that it can produce large quantities very quickly and at a far less cost than collecting the wild material off the cliffs of a Chinese or Tibetan peak. Over the years the technology has become so highly advanced that it is now possible to produce a variety of Cordyceps (named "CS-4”) that is completely identical to the wild fungi. The extract that we source is the only cultivated Cordyceps available today that is genetically and analytically Bio-Identical to the wild Cordyceps occurring in Nature. Cultivated Cordyceps is a premier tonic herb. In fact, studies show that the cultivated variety shares all the same benefits as the wild Cordyceps and that it's just as potent and efficacious. Some even say the cultivated variety is better!

This mushroom is extracted at a 10:1 potency. This means ten kilograms of the mycelium is used to produce one kilogram of the extract.

Cordyceps mushroom extract has an earthy and slightly sweet and bitter flavour. It’s sometimes referred to as having a malty or chocolate-like flavour.

Everyone is different depending on the level of health they are experiencing.
