Cordyceps 10:1 vs 1:1

Another poster asked this question about a year ago but didn’t get an answer. What’s the exact difference between these two? The article on their website says the 10:1 has twice as much cordycepins but 10:1 only has .3 and the 1:1 has .2 Does this mean the 1:1 would be better cause .2 of 500 is 100 and .3 of the 10:1 250mg dose is 75. Any clarification would be nice.

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 of mushroom is used to make 1 gram of finished powder. Only the soluble compounds come over, and the rest is discarded. I find the 10:1 to be superior. Not only is it more effective for me, but it is less edgy than the 1:1. Cordycepin isn't the main active, actually. We have recently discovered that. We think we have found the real main active, but we are doing more validation before we release that data. Cordycepin does have effects, but not the stimulating ones. It's a different compound in there that nobody is even looking at right now that is responsible for those.
