Organic Cordyceps militaris Extract — 40% Polysaccharides
Organic Cordyceps militaris extract at 40% polysaccharides. The species matters commercially: C. militaris is cultivated, whereas wild Cordyceps sinensis is restricted and effectively unavailable as a bulk ingredient, so a specification that names only ‘cordyceps’ is ambiguous.
COA-Backed Specification

Buyer Decision Guide
Cordyceps specifications fail on species and on part more often than on assay. Three points prevent a substitution.
- Species: Cordyceps militaris, cultivated, stated on the COA.
- Polysaccharides: 40% by UV, on the cultivated fruiting body.
- Organic certificate naming the cultivated material and the production site.
- Cordyceps sinensis is not offered or substituted.
- Moisture, ash, heavy metals and microbiology reported per batch.
- COA, specification sheet and safety data sheet accompany each shipment.
How This Grade Differs
The conventional cordyceps extract at 40% polysaccharides and a plain cordyceps powder are listed separately. This page carries the same 40% assay on certified organic input, which is the only difference a buyer needs to check in the specification.
Quality and Documentation
Polysaccharides are determined by UV with the glucose basis recorded. Each lot is checked for moisture, ash, heavy metals and microbiology, with the organic certificate filed alongside.
Regulatory Note
Organic grade: the material is sourced from certified organic growers and processors. The organic certificate and the lot transaction certificate are provided with each shipment on request. The certifying body and the standard applied differ by origin lot, so confirm the standard your market requires (for example NUS/NOP-type, EU 2018/848 or China Organic) before ordering. Certification is held by the producing operation and travels with the lot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which safety parameters are tested every lot?
Moisture per specification, ash per specification, heavy metals and microbiology against the approved specification.
What assay does Organic Cordyceps Militaris Extract Powder 40% Polysaccharides carry on the certificate of analysis?
Assay Polysaccharides 40% by UV, determined by UV.
Which marker is the percentage based on?
The declared figure is Polysaccharides 40% by UV, measured by UV; the marker basis is recorded on the batch certificate.
How should the material be stored after arrival?
Two years when stored properly. Keep the pack sealed; moisture uptake is the main risk for this grade.
How is appearance checked?
Fine brown powder, compared against a retained sample from the approved batch.
Can you produce to our own specification or packing?
Alternative assay targets, particle size, packing and private-label requirements are reviewed case by case, subject to production feasibility and a revised written specification.
Can I review the COA before I pay?
Yes. Request the current or representative COA and check identity, method, limits and results before approving the purchase order.
Can I get a sample before placing the order?
Yes. An evaluation sample is normally available before a formal order. Sample quantity, courier account and destination are confirmed at the time of request.
