Processing and Storage
Cordyceps is dried at low temperatures (40-50°C) to preserve active compounds and enhance bioavailability. Low-temperature sterilization without irradiation ensures the natural integrity of the product. The powder can be customized to 80 to 1000 mesh for different applications.
Strict Quality Inspection and Certifications
Every batch undergoes rigorous testing for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial content, ensuring compliance with cGMP, FSSC, EU & US Organic standards.
Advanced Extraction Process of Cordyceps Mushroom Extracts
At Herbal Treasure, we use patented jet stream cell-wall breaking technology combined with advanced concentration techniques to maximize the potency of Cordyceps extracts. Our low-temperature and normal-pressure extraction ensures that all active compounds retain their full efficacy.
Key Compounds Extracted
Cordycepin: Boosts energy and supports respiratory function. Polysaccharides: Strengthen the immune system and enhance overall wellness. Adenosine: Supports cardiovascular health by improving circulation and regulating blood pressure.
Standardized Production and Scientific Management
At Herbal Treasure, we cultivate Cordyceps in greenhouses using carefully selected premium strains to ensure high potency. Our standardized production system ensures consistent quality and uniform standards across every batch. Our trained cultivation team provides comprehensive management, monitoring temperature, humidity, and light conditions. This scientific approach ensures that Cordyceps grows in an optimized environment, accumulating high levels of cordycepin, polysaccharides, and adenosine, delivering superior health benefits.
