Cordyceps

Cordyceps

　　　Xinkang Cordyceps is made by using a nutrient-rich test-tube culture medium instead of the insect body. A selected natural strain is inoculated onto the test-tube medium, and then the growth environment of natural cordyceps is artificially simulated to allow the strain in the test tube to grow and form the fruiting body — commonly referred to as the “grass” part of cordyceps. Therefore, Xinkang Cordyceps has the “grass” but no “insect.”

    As an achievement of a national science and technology project, Xinkang Cordyceps was awarded the Silver Prize at the Second China Agricultural Expo and the Silver Prize at the Guangdong Youth “Three-High” Agriculture Expo. It has also passed the technical project appraisal by the State Science and Technology Commission. According to tests conducted by the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, it contains eighteen amino acids, seventeen trace elements, and twelve vitamins. The amount of cordycepin is 86 times that of natural cordyceps, while the price is only one-fifth of the natural product. Its efficacy surpasses that of natural cordyceps. It has been featured in special reports by China Central Television, Hong Kong Jade Channel, and Asian Channel.
