POLYSACCHARIDE
EXTRACT CORDYCEPS
Polysaccharide Extract Cordyceps – natural immunomodulatory agent and additional source of the adenosine and saturated fatty acids.
Oral dietary supplement of the fungi Cordyceps in a polysaccharide extract in the closest to natural form actively promotes strengthening of the endocrine and immune systems and has a proven anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antitumor, antidiabetic, hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects.
In-house Technology
Biotechnology guarantees raw independence, reduce costs and increases the competitiveness of the product.
In-house technology of polysaccharide extract Cordyceps production was developed at Skryabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms Russian Academy of Science and is analytically confirmed with laboratory studies performed according to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) standards.
MARKET REVIEW
The Cordyceps global market of in 2021 was $637.0 million and by 2030 the market will reach $1,551.9 million. The total annual growth rate (CAGR) for 2022-2030 is about 10.4%.
The key drivers of market development are the increased interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine, including herbal medicine, seasonings, unique plant extracts and health products. An epidemic of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and cancer is expected to lead to the implementation of preventive medical products containing Cordyceps species and accelerate their growth in the coming years. The high cost of Cordyceps is a major factor hindering the growth of the market. According to forecasts by 2050 half of all industrial production in the world will be biotechnological - highly environmentally friendly and low-cost.
SCIENTIFIC DATA
Scientific data confirms that fungus Cordyceps has immunomodulatory, antitumor, antidiabetic, hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects and is one of the oldest medications of traditional medicine in Tibet and China
Cordyceps species, including C. sinensis and C. militaris, are mainly found in high-altitude provinces such as Tibet and the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai and Gansu
From the fruit bodies, mycelium and culture fluid of these fungi, various biological active substances were isolated: intra- and extracellular polysaccharides, nucleosides (cordycepin, adenosine, guanosine, etc.), sterols (ergosterol, sitosterol), peptides (cordyline, myriocin, cyclodipeptides), statins. Cordyceps is thought to increase production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body which is needed to deliver energy to muscles. The ability of Cordyceps to slow tumor growth is due to the direct action of 3-deoxyadenosine on cells, as well as the indirect action of polysaccharides through the immune system. In addition, as a tool to attack the nervous system of insects, Cordyceps uses a decrease in the level of prostaglandins responsible for the systemic reactivity of the body.
Cordyceps fungus has long been used to treat cough, chronic bronchitis, respiratory diseases, renal diseases, nocturia, male sexual problems, anemia, heart palpitations, high cholesterol, liver diseases, dizziness, weakness, tingling, unintentional weight loss and alcohol addiction. Elderly people have traditionally used Cordyceps to reduce fatigue, increase strength and sexual desire.

INTERESTING FACTS
Interestingly, in ancient China and ancient Egypt, only members of the imperial family were allowed to eat mushrooms, and commoners were punished for their use. Today, mycologist Paul Stemets, a popularizer and developer of a number of products, openly speaks of a “mushroom conspiracy” because mushrooms can make people healthy and deprive Big Pharma of super profits.
The largest organism on planet Earth - mushroom Opena dark, Oregon, USA, covers an area of more than 880 hectares, and its age is estimated as 2.4 thousand years. The oldest fossil fungus is more than a billion years old. Fungi are very difficult to kill, solar radiation kills everything except Black Mold, and it uses solar radiation for growth.
Clouds cannot hold water without sufficient particles suspended in the air, and most of these particles are fungal spores. Each of our breaths contains spores. There are prehistoric cave paintings of bulls and mushrooms all over the world. Stained glass windows of very popular historic churches around the world have images of Jesus with mushrooms. In the Middle Ages Europe lost hundreds of thousands of people due to bread poisoning by ergot fruit bodies (Claviceps purpurea) and such death was called “Evil Cramp”, but today it is impossible to imagine modern medicine without ergot alkaloids involved, and the invention of Oxytocin greatly influenced both fertility and mortality in childbirth. Another medication that has changed the course of human history is antibiotics, and they are also products of fungal origin.
