Is it possible to offer pure cordycepin?

I read some interesting studies on its potential for treatment in osteoarthritis, but the dose of cordycepin was quite high, around 4-8mg/kg in mice. I think the cordyceps has 1mg per dosage. Is it feasible to bring such a product out or is that something that would be insanely expensive? Would be very interesting if so!

Yes, and we have personally tried it pure. The issue is we don't feel anything/much from it, so there is a lot more to the story of cordyceps than just cordycepin. There has to be interactions from other things in cordyceps that leads to the beneficial effects, or we would have felt strong effects from the pure cordycepin when we trialed it. We even did back-to-back testing on a bunch of extracts out there, and the ones with the highest cordycepin actually performed the worst in our subjective tests. It's super weird.
