Cordyceps is a kind of fungi found all over the world. Some of the rarest kinds are at higher altitudes in the Himalayan regions of China Tibet.
A cordyceps spore lands on and infects its host. It then starts to spread mycelia (or tendrils) throughout the insect's body. Those tendrils replace the host's internal tissues and feed off of its nutrients. Once the insect is fully paralyzed or dead, the cordyceps fungus erupts out of the insect's body with a fruiting body (the visible reproductive structure of cordyceps). This fruiting body then spreads its spores to other insects of the same species.
The fruiting body is what people seek for its potential health benefits. Traditionally, the fruiting body of cordyceps is ground down and cooked with tea and other herbs. You can eat the fruiting body raw. But it will likely taste better if you cook it in pastas or soups, or even add them as a topping to pizza or flatbreads. The polysaccharides in Cordyceps are one of the key bioactive compounds.

Undersun Manufacturing Process
1. Cultivation: Cordyceps mushrooms are grown under controlled conditions, usually on a substrate like rice or other grains, ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality fungi.
2. Harvesting: The mushrooms are harvested at the optimal stage of growth for maximum polysaccharide content.
3. Extraction: The polysaccharides are extracted using water or alcohol-based solvents to ensure the preservation of bioactive compounds. A hot water extraction method is often used for polysaccharide extraction, as it can effectively break down the fungal cell wall and release the active compounds.
4. Purification: The extract undergoes a series of filtration and purification steps to remove impurities and concentrate the polysaccharides.
5. Standardization: The final extract is standardized to ensure it contains 30% polysaccharides.
