Studies show that wild Cordyceps is richer in certain components and the proportion of components is different, which probably makes a difference in activity. However, cultivated Cordyceps is still a premium tonic herb, and if this is what you can find, it’s still great. The Cordyceps most commonly found in Chinese herb stores is cultivated."Fermentation" technology makes it possible to grow a number of fungi. The fungus is literally grown in large tanks, and in just a matter of days a large quantity can be produced. The technology has now become highly advanced and is making previously rare herbs like Cordyceps and Ganoderma much more accessible. Many studies indicate that the chemical nature of this biotechnology Cordyceps is almost identical to that of the wild variety and pharmacological and clinical studies seem to farther confirm this. The Cordyceps contained in most commercial products is produced by this technology.1. Highly controlled by scientific means during its growth and "standardized". Every batch is virtually identical---and in a sense, "perfect." This is very important in pharmaceutical terms because without standardization, it is difficult or impossible to develop drug-type standards for substances like Cordyceps. Once an herb can be standardized, all kinds of studies can be conducted that will be accepted by the scientific community. However, standardization itself does not make a product effective or great or anything else.2. Much cheaper. True, high quality wild Cordyceps is rare and now sells for well over a thousand dollars a pound in cities like Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York or London. The culture-grown Cordyceps is available at a third of the cost, with approximately the same benefits. Fermentation technology makes this substance available to anybody who wants it. 3. 100% pure "vegetarian" health products, there's no worm: Wild Cordyceps, by weight, is mostly caterpillar. For vegetarians and those who simply don't want to consume caterpillars, the new technology provides the solution. The fermentation technology does not include the caterpillar in the growing process. The fungus is grown without the use of animal nutrients and the result is a 100% pure "vegetarian" health product.
