Quality Issues in Cordyceps

• 80% of Chinese Cordyceps is Adulterated ..or Counterfeit!

• Adulteration with Polysaccharides in Cordyceps is Difficult ..to Detect

• No Universally Accepted Test Protocols

How To Accomplished This GoalHow To Accomplished This Goal

Develop Analytical Methods to Determine ‘Quality Index’

Determine Optimum Substrate Composition

Modified Culture Parameters for Target Compounds

Create New Hybrid Strains

Determination of which compounds to test for!1st Step in creating the World Best Cordyceps:

Target Compounds for Analysis and Standardization

• They Need to be Unique to Cordyceps

• They Need to be Cheaply and Accurately Detected

• They Need to be Difficult to Counterfeit or Adulterate

Prototypical Chemical Markers for Cordyceps - HEAA

Altered Adenosine-type Nucleosides which are found nowhere else in

Nature

HHydroxy - ydroxy - EEtthyl - hyl - AAdenosine - denosine -

AAnalogsnalogs

Hydroxy-Ethyl Adenosine

Found only in Cordyceps and Found only in Cordyceps and impossible to counterfeit!impossible to counterfeit!

HEA Analogs

Adenosine Cordycepin Dideoxyadenosine

By using these HEAA compounds as By using these HEAA compounds as the ‘Quality Index’ standard, a simple the ‘Quality Index’ standard, a simple and repeatable analytical method by and repeatable analytical method by which all Cordyceps can be graded which all Cordyceps can be graded and compared has been established.and compared has been established.

What about testing for other compounds?

Cordycepic Acid?

Not a Unique Compound – There is More Cordycepic Acid in Cranberries than in Cordyceps!

Polysaccharides?

Impossible to Detect Adulteration with Cheap Polysaccharides like Corn Starch! Structural Determination too Expensive!

33rdrd step in creating the Worlds Best Cordyceps: step in creating the Worlds Best Cordyceps:

HYBRIDIZATION

What are Hybridized Strains?

• Super-Strains of Cordyceps, cross bred to increase production of the target medicinal compounds.

• Non-GMO and Certified Organic!

HEAA increase through Hybridization

THE RESULTS:

Cordyceps Hybrid is MORE POTENT than Wild Cordyceps!
