i found this on ebay; https://www.ebay.com/itm/Real-Cordyceps-militaris-Mushrooms-Grown-On-Live-Silkworms-Authentic-Whole/292777195094?hash=item442ae17656:m:m0eY1YSuC_bXfTnIHIv8LPQ and its the only actual real cordyceps coming out of the silkworm directly thats actually on sell anywhere. i wonder if anyone had something so straight from the source before? it doesnt seem as expensive as they usually go for which is interesting. i suppose more people are able to try and report then.

you have one of the worlds best mushroom researches on your team now? is it Paul Stamets?? im wondering, what type of new mushroom products are you considering... and if it involves some better types of cordyceps, very importantly! im willing to try the cordyceps once i know its been standardized to contain high amounts of its antidepressive compound, cordycepin. which in some studies is comparable to ketamine in fast onset antidepressive effect.
anyway, ive decided not to go for the ebay product i posted simply because the guy never replied back. i might try again in the future if im still having problems finding good reliable source. but i have put my mind into this very seriously, that I will, find a good source eventually one day! and even if ND disappointed me in the past, i am still willing to try any new or improved cordyceps product you might get in the future, so let me know on this. im specifically looking for cordycepin, thanks! :)

LOL, Paul Stamets was one of the world's best mushroom researchers. Was. His fall from being considered someone you can trust, to someone you have to completely ignore, is a big shame. Arguably he did more than anyone else in the world to popularize mushrooms here in the US. However, then he went out and make low quality scam products, and gaslighted everyone for years.
Yes, improved cordyceps is one we are working on. We've taken pure cordycepin before, and didn't get much effect. We have also taken products with double the amount of cordycepin, at three times the dose, and felt nothing. So the physical effects of cordyceps are not coming from cordycepin, it seems. We are trying to elucidate what these compounds are, then isolate and standardize for them. I could get you a 98% cordycepin product right now. You would be disappointed, though. All our testing has shown it is a combination of things in cordyceps that leads to the magic. It would be much easier if it was just cordycepin.
