Cordyceps Sinensis Extract Powder

Cordyceps Sinensis Extract Powder — Standardized Fungal Extract for Immune & Energy Formulations

Shaanxi Hongda Phytochemistry Co., Ltd. provides pharmaceutical-grade Cordyceps Sinensis Extract Powder, standardised to contain 30-50% Cordyceps Polysaccharides (UV technique). The extract is from a controlled fungal fermentation of Paecilomyces hepiali (Cs-4), providing constant amounts of Adenosine, Cordycepic Acid (D-Mannitol) and Polysaccharides, without the possibility of arsenic contamination that can occur with wild-harvested specimens. Hongda is a reliable B2B raw material manufacturer for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and functional food companies throughout the world with an annual output of 3,000 tons, 100,000-level purification workshops and Certifications including KOSHER, HALAL, BRC, ISO9001 and ORGANIC.

Product Introduction

Wild Ophiocordyceps sinensis is more than $20,000/kg and has documented heavy metal concerns. This excerpt answers both difficulties.

The extract is prepared by submerged fermentation of genetically authenticated Paecilomyces hepiali (Cs-4) or Hirsutella sinensis strains. Chitinous cell walls are broken down by hot water or dual solvent (water/ethanol) processing. This is a great improvement in bioavailability over raw mycelium powder.

The outcome is a fine brown powder with standardised quantities of active markers, for use in capsules, tablets, beverages and functional meals Traceability from strain verification to final QC release for each production lot.

Third-Party Test Report

Every Cordyceps Sinensis Extract Powder is tested both in-house and through authorized third-party laboratories including SGS and Eurofins.

Test scope covers:

· Pesticide residue screening

· Heavy metals (arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium)

· Microbial limits

· Polysaccharide content (UV method)

· Moisture and ash

Third-party reports are available upon request before placing an order. You can ask your sales contact for the most recent batch report

Product Series

Cordyceps Sinensis Extract Powder Advantages

Standardized active profile. Each batch is locked at 30–50% polysaccharides, plus quantified Adenosine and Cordycepic Acid (D-Mannitol) — giving your formulation team reliable numbers for label claims.

Solved supply chain problem. Wild Cordyceps supply is seasonal, geographically limited, and inconsistently potent. Fermentation-derived extract gives you year-round availability with lot-to-lot consistency.

Heavy metal safety. Wild soil-harvested Cordyceps frequently exceeds safe arsenic limits. Controlled fermentation eliminates this risk at the source — not just at the testing stage.

High bioavailability. Hot water and ethanol extraction breaks the chitinous fungal cell wall, releasing polysaccharides and adenosine in a form your customers' bodies can actually absorb.

Vegan-friendly and multi-certified. KOSHER, HALAL, ORGANIC, and VEGAN-compatible — qualifying for a wider range of end markets including European and North American clean-label consumers.

Application Areas

This extract is widely used across multiple product categories:

· Immune support supplements — capsules and softgels targeting T-cell and NK-cell activity

· Energy and endurance products — pre-workout or sports nutrition powders based on ATP production support

· Respiratory health formulas — traditional use supported by published research on lung function

· Functional beverages — aqueous solubility makes it suitable for ready-to-drink formats

· Anti-fatigue formulations — adaptogenic positioning for daily wellness supplements

· Renal and kidney health products — particularly relevant in Asian TCM-influenced markets

The 80–100 mesh particle size supports direct blending, encapsulation, and tableting without additional milling.
