Bred for cordycepin
Cordycepin is the compound that most cordyceps research measures, yet few labels say how much a product contains. Purica screened Cordyceps militaris strains for high cordycepin output and cultivates the chosen ones in Canada under the name CordyFuel. The culture is grown by solid-state fermentation on a solid substrate, and the whole result is kept: mycelium, fruiting body and what they release into the substrate. Purica calls this a Myco Fermented Matrix.
Standardized on three markers
Every batch is standardized to more than 3 mg of cordycepin per gram, more than 50% polysaccharides and more than 30% beta-glucans. Purica reports its current batch at 3.31 mg/g cordycepin, 57% polysaccharides and 52% beta-glucans. The matrix won the 2025 International Cordy Cup.
How to take it
The label dose for adults is 2 capsules 2 times a day, with or without food. At that rate one bottle lasts 15 days. Many people take the first two capsules with breakfast and the second two early in the afternoon.
Cautions on the label
Consult a TCM practitioner before use if you have external pathogens or any lung or kidney problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Stop and see a health care practitioner if you have an allergy to cordyceps, moulds or fungi, or if you notice irregular or missed periods or swelling. The full cautions are in the directions tab.
Power Cordyceps or Purica Cordyceps
Purica sells two cordyceps capsules, each at 400 mg. Purica Cordyceps is the long-running formula from a cultivated mycelium strain. Power Cordyceps Matrix is the newer Cordyceps militaris grown for cordycepin, with the standardized figures printed. The capsule shell is hypromellose, and the other ingredients are silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose and plant-source magnesium stearate, so it suits vegans.
