The Medicinal Mushroom Cordyceps
The Tibetan Plateau is the original range of Cordyceps (also known as the Chinese caterpillar fungus, Tibetan caterpillar club fungus, or Ophiocordyceps sinensis). Today, it is also found in the alpine grasslands of China and in several provinces of India.
The rediscovery of Cordyceps is attributed to the observations of Tibetan yak herders. They noticed that the yaks they grazed in the highlands had significantly greater resilience and life expectancy than animals kept elsewhere. The cause was identified as the tiny fungi that grow among the high-altitude grasses and are readily consumed by the animals: Cordyceps. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the caterpillar fungus has been used as a tonic for centuries and is also known as an aphrodisiac.
Mykoplan’s “Whole Life Cycle” products have made it possible to gently produce bioactive medicinal mushroom products. They contain high levels of all essential ingredients while preserving the holistic integrity of the mushroom. Depending on the harvest, the content of key polysaccharides ranges from 26% to 32%—a level that is normally achievable only through specialized extraction processes.
Field-Tested Applications

Side effects: Depending on individual sensitivity, reactions such as indigestion, nausea, headaches, or skin reactions may occur initially (especially at higher doses).
