Mushroom Science Cordyceps Cs-4 Extract (Cordyceps sinensis)For Energy &, EnduranceCordyceps sinensis is a highly valued medicinal mushroom in both Classical Chinese Medicine and modern clinical practice. In China it is called ",winter worm, summer grass",, and the ",caterpillar mushroom", (aka: Dong Chong Xia Cao). Cordyceps is found in the highlands of China, Tibet, and Nepal, above 10,000 feet.Cordyceps attracted the attention of the general public and the health profession in 1993 when a group of Chinese runners broke nine world records in the World Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Germany. Afterwards the coach attributed those results to the athletes regular use of a cordyceps based tonic. Because Cordyseps helps increase stamina, energy levels, and endurance, it has become one of the top selling sports supplements amongst the worlds' elite competitive athletes.Clinically, Cordyceps is used to support immune health.Cordyceps Sinensis Cs-4The wild fruiting form of Cordyceps used in Traditional Chinese Medicine is extremely rare in the wild and because of this it is very expensive. Chinese scientists spent many years looking for a vegetative form of Cordyceps that would produce the same active compounds as the fruit body, the result of that research is the Cordyceps strain Cs-4.All of the published clinical research has been conducted with hot water extracts of the mycelium of the Cs-4 strain of Cordyceps, the same strain Mushroom Science uses to produce their high potency extract.Clinical ResearchThere has been a significant amount of research done on Cordyceps. Studies have looked at the immuno-modulating and immuno-regulating activities, uses in supporting renal health and respiratory health.Traditional Use and PreparationCordyceps is sweet and acrid in taste and warm in nature, acting through the lung and kidney channels. Cordyceps invigorates the kidneys and protects the lungs. Cordyceps is also used in cases of occasional fatigue. For most conditions Cordyceps is prepared as a decoction, although when used as a tonic in TCM the fruit bodies are often cooked into a chicken broth.Extraction InformationWild Cordyceps sinensis fruit bodies and cultivated Cordyceps sinensis mycelium have demonstrated equal levels of immune activity, neither being superior to the other. Mushroom Science's product is a hot-water/ethanol extract from the Cs-4 strain of Cordyceps. The mycelium is cultivated on an all-natural chemical-free nutrient base. This process yields all of the active constituents that make Cordyceps one of the most highly prized medicinal mushrooms.Hot Water Extracted: Dr. Mark Stengler N.D., in his recent book, The Health Benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms, made the observation that all of the independent scientific studies on medicinal mushrooms are based on the use of hot water extracts. All of the references from Traditional Chinese Medicine also recommend hot water extraction when preparing medicinal mushrooms.

Mushroom Science Immune Builder ExtractImmune Builder Extract (formerly known as 5 Mushroom Formula) is your best choice for preventative immune support or short term use: the cold and flu season or a healthy vacation. Containing extracts from Maitake Gold, Coriolus, Reishi, Shiitake and Agaricus blazei mushrooms, this formula is the only mushroom supplement combining all the beta glucan configurations from the different mushrooms at the effective potencies identified in the research. Beta 1-3, 1-4 and 1-6 glucan each interact in a different way with the immune system, together they provide full spectrum immune support. This formula consists of 100% pure research validated hot water extracts, potency is not compromised by adding ground up mushrooms or unextracted mycelium biomass.Hot Water Extracted: Dr. Mark Stengler N.D., in his recent book, The Health Benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms, made the observation that all of the independent scientific studies on medicinal mushrooms are based on the use of hot water extracts. All of the references from Traditional Chinese Medicine also recommend hot water extraction when preparing medicinal mushrooms. There are two main factors involved:Bioavailability - The immune-supporting polysaccharides common to all medicinal mushrooms and mushroom mycelium are found inside of the cell walls. However, the cell walls are made from an indigestible fiber called ",chitin",, the same material a lobster shell is made of. Hot water extraction is the only clinically validated method for breaking these polysaccharides out of the indigestible cell walls. Even soft mushrooms like shiitake are prepared as a hot water extract or a tea when used medicinally.Concentration - The immune supporting polysaccharides found in the cell walls of mushrooms and mushroom mycelium comprise only 0.5-2% of the total mass by dry weight (depending on the mushroom), not enough to have effect even if they were bioavailable. Most hot water mushroom/mycelium extracts are at least a 20:1 concentration. Hot water extraction dissolves the indigestible fiber (chitin), allowing the fiber to be removed from the extract when the water is removed. This process concentrates the polysaccharides to the effective levels identified in the published research.Hot water extracts (dehydrated) are 50-80 times more potent than tinctures (cold water extracts) or mycelium biomass.Immune Builder Extract FormulaAgaricus blazei fruit body extract (45% polysaccharide)75 mg*Coriolus versicolor extract (30% polysaccharide)75 mg*Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) (20% polysaccharide)75 mg*Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) fruit body extract (18% polysaccharide)75 mg*Patented Extract derived form Maitake Mushroom (Grifola frondosa) *Delivering 5 mg of purified MaitakeGold Extract100 mg**Daily Value not establishe ,Each bottle contains 90 vegetarian capsules/400 mg per capsule.

Mushroom Science Reishi Super Strength (Ganoderma lucidum)Called the mushroom of immortality in ancient China, Reishi is the most revered herb in all of Classical Chinese and Japanese medicine. Used daily as a tonic in ancient China and Japan, modern research has focused on the use of Reishi extracts for immune support and supporting liver health.*Reishi mushroom extracts are frequently used by mountain climbers to combat altitude sickness and are contained in many of the performance enhancing herbal formulas used by Chinese athletes.Reishi Super Strength extract is the most potent Reishi supplement available in North America, and Mushroom Science takes a number of steps to ensure this is the case. ,Because the levels of active compounds in Reishi mushrooms can vary significantly from strain to strain within the species, the scientists and herbalists at MushroomScience developed a proprietary strain of Reishi that delivers significant and consistent levels of all the active compounds, including the triterpenes that support liver health.Mushroom Science's organic Reishi mushrooms are also grown on solid wood, not rice. , Growing Reishi mushrooms in their natural environment allows them to produce an extract of unmatched quality. ,Mushroom Science also uses a two-step extraction process, first hot water extraction to extract the beta glucans, and then a second step using ethanol and hot water together to extract the triterpenes, guaranteeing that we capture all the active compounds needed to deliver the health benefits Reishi is famous.This may be why MushroomScience is the only mushroom company in North America that lists guaranteed levels of active compounds on every supplement label.The Reishi Mushroom in HistoryThe Reishi mushroom is one of the most revered herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Now known as Ling zhi in China, there are references to its use in that country as far back as 100 BC, where it was referred to as the ",Herb of Spiritual Potency", and the ",Ten-thousand Year Mushroom",. It is the premier longevity herb of ancient China.The focus of TCM is on actively promoting good health and the prevention of health problems. Reishi is one of the most highly regarded herbs in TCM for this purpose and the mushroom most often used as a general health tonic.Modern clinical research also supports many of the uses for this mushroom as described in TCM. It benefits immune health and liver function. Reishi mushroom extracts are frequently used by mountain climbers to combat altitude sickness and are contained in many of the performance enhancing herbal formulas used by Chinese athletes.Traditional Use and PreparationReishi is mild and warming in nature, with a bitter taste. In TCM it is used to nourish, tonify, remove toxins and disperse accumulation. It is used as a tonic for symptoms of weakness or debility and as a sedative for dizziness and insomnia. All available references from TCM have Reishi prepare
