Cordyceps militaris Extract, commonly known as the ancient grass, is a medicinal fungus that combines insects and bacteria, and is a modern rare Chinese herbal medicine. Cordyceps militaris belongs to the fungal phylum, Ergotaceae. Modern pharmacological studies have proved that Cordyceps contains cordycepin, cordycepin, various amino acids and trace elements. At present, many people know more about Cordyceps sinensis, and then they know about Cordyceps militaris. In fact, the edible and medicinal value of Cordyceps militaris is comparable to that of traditional Cordyceps sinensis, and even some main components are much higher. Today, Xiaonan of Huainan Association will tell you the difference between the two.
1. The origin is different
Cordyceps militaris Extract is generally produced in Jilin, Hebei, Shaanxi and other provinces, so Cordyceps militaris is also called "Northern Cordyceps". Cordyceps sinensis generally grows in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its fringes.
2. The parasites are different
The source of Cordyceps militaris is mainly artificially cultivated fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris. Cordyceps militaris parasitizes mainly on silkworm chrysalis, while Cordyceps sinensis is parasitic on bat moth larvae.
3. The formation process is different
Cordyceps sinensis cannot be cultivated artificially, which is often referred to as wild Cordyceps. Cordyceps mycelium burrows into the larvae of bat moths, consuming all the nutrients inside, and forming a grass form in the next summer. The mycelium of Cordyceps militaris is an asexual type of Paecilomyces militaris, which can be formed when the thalli matures, and the spores are disseminated and spread with the wind, land on suitable worms, and begin to germinate mycelium. As the mycelium continues to develop, it begins to spread into the worm, so the pupa will be infected by the fungus and decompose the tissue in the pupa.
4. The content of ingredients is different
Cordyceps militaris and Cordyceps sinensis both have 4 main pharmacological components that are representative of Cordyceps: cordycepin, cordycepic acid, cordyceps polysaccharide and SOD enzyme. Compared with wild cordyceps, cordyceps militaris is significantly higher than wild cordyceps, except for cordycepin acid, which is slightly lower than wild cordyceps. in wild Cordyceps. Cordyceps polysaccharide is 2 times higher, SOD enzyme is 5 times higher, and cordycepin is 89 times higher. Especially among many Cordyceps, Cordyceps militaris is the only variety that can produce a large amount of cordycepin. The content of cordycepin in artificial cordyceps militaris is about 10 times that of wild cordyceps. Cordyceps militaris and Cordyceps sinensis are similar in composition, and the content of each component in Cordyceps militaris is much more than that of Cordyceps sinensis. Therefore, the efficacy of Cordyceps militaris is much better than that of Cordyceps sinensis.
5. How to take
Cordyceps militaris Extract can be taken all year round. It is different from wild Cordyceps in terms of nature and taste. Cordyceps militaris is flat in nature and sweet in taste. Wild Cordyceps is warm in nature. Therefore, people with internal heat should not take more. Taboo, and can be taken all year round.
