Is it possible to offer pure cordycepin?

Original post in this thread

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.

LOL, they fucking baked the lion's mane into muffins... I assume that was at like 350 degrees for 30-60min? They did no testing of the finished muffins to see if they degraded the actives? We've been doing a lot of scien

Cordyceps 10:1 vs 1:1

Replying to Chaloobies · u/MisterYouAreSoDumb u/Pretty-Chill u/NootropicsDepotGuru

1:1 is a whole cordyceps fruiting body powder that has been put through a hot water "extraction" to break down the chitin, but not lose any mushroom material. The 10:1 is a traditional solvent extraction, where 10 grams

My cordyceps congealed! Any way to rescue it? I haven’t gotten any water in it, I changed out the desiccant packets, but now it’s become a gooey lump. My Red Reishi purchased in the same order is still a powder, stored in the same conditions. What’s going on?

Holy crap! Water got in there somehow. Where was it stored?
