Cordyceps sinensis (Berk) Sacc is a natural herbal medicine that has been popular in China for centuries for invigoration, health preservation, and reduction of fatigue. Naturally occurring Cordyceps sinensis is a wild fungus found on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of China at an altitude of about 10,000 feet. The fungus is parasitic and colonizes the larvae of moths until their inner body is filled with mycelium. Wild Cordyceps is a composite consisting of the stroma of the parasite together within the larva of the Hepialidae moths. Wild cordyceps is increasingly rare in its natural habitat, and the price is now completely out of reach for clinical practice. For this reason and because of the scarcity of natural sources, a refined standardized fermentation product, Cs-4, was produced from the mycelial strain Paecilomyces hepiali Chen at Dai that was isolated from wild C. sinensis. A close similarity between this fermentation product and natural Cordyceps has been demonstrated with respect to their chemical constituents (Cs-4 contains not less than 0.14% adenosine and 5% mannitol) and pharmacologic properties.
Botaniex produces and offers Cordyceps Extract CS-4 Polysaccharides in the following specifications.

Paecilomyces hepiali
In general, the Paecilomyces hepiali (P. hepiali) that is commonly included in natural CS from Tibet is known as an endoparasitic fungus. The genome sequence of P. hepiali is the medical compound produced using fungi, and there are some trials where it is being applied and developed in different fields. The main components of CS, such as polysaccharides, adenosine, nucleosides, and ergosterol, are known to be important bioactive substances with medical relevance. Thus, it has been recognized that the bioactivities of mycelial cultured CS are very similar to those of natural Cordyceps.
Harnessing the power of Cordyceps sinensis, CS-4 Fermented Mycelium Powder undergoes a diligent fermentation process, ensuring optimal potency and bioavailability. Cordyceps sinensis has been revered in traditional medicine for centuries and has gained significant attention for its potential health benefits.
