Biomedicine
Biomedicine
In modern-day biomedicine, here are some of the qualities that are being noticed of this special little mushroom:
Energy and endurance -
Studies suggest that Cordycepin, a small nucleoside analog in Cordyceps, enhances ATP production in cells by improving mitochondrial function. what this means is that Cordyceps can help our body use oxygen and glucose more efficiently to give us more energy, more efficiently. Basically…they put a pep in your step!
Respiratory support - Following on from the above, studies are suggesting that Cordyceps promotes an expansion of our bronchial pathways, making it easier for us to breathe - especially important for people with respiratory conditions like asthma. Cordyceps can help you grow your lungs!
Antioxidant and antitumor - Studies suggest that cordyceps has antitumor effects and free radical scavenging capabilities, helping protect our cells from oxidative stress.
History and Folk Medicine
History and Folk Medicine
By the power of the great Yak!
It is thought that Cordyceps made its way into traditional medicine practices by way of the Yaks that grazed on the Himalayan foothills centuries ago. Herders noticed a boost in Yak’s endurance and vigour after they’d nibbled on peculiar club-shaped growths sprouting from the ground. And so, what began as an observation in remote highland pastures, became a cornerstone of traditional medicinal wisdom, celebrated in Daoist scripts, Tibetan Buddhist texts, and the enduring legacy of Zurkhar Nyamnyi Dorje, the tibetan physician and founder of the Zur medical tradition who first described the mushroom’s use back in the 1400’s.

Our Extraction Process
Our mushrooms are triple extracted using alcohol, hot water and pressure (very high temperatures). But first is the harvest! We harvest our mushrooms by hand on our farm with care and attention paid to every mushroom we pick (this is one of our favorite tasks on the farm).The next step is to dehydrate and powder the mushrooms for extraction in high proof organic ethanol. This is a process that takes 4 weeks, with the mixture shaken every day. We then do a final pass of this solution through a heated mixer for 4-6 hours. Next we harvest more mushrooms to use fresh in our water extracts. The first is a long extract at lower temperatures that are specific to each species of mushroom and their unique profiles, and the next (using separate mushrooms again) is a high pressure extract in an autoclave. Finally, we filter and evaporate all of these solutions to concentrate to our final 1:4 super-strength ratio (its a lot of evaporation!).
All of this is to pull out as much of those wonderfully helpful compounds (both alcohol and water soluble) from the mushrooms as possible and to give you the best mushroom tincture we can - a product we are proud to stand behind!
