Products Description
Cordycep Acid Powder is a standardized natural active ingredient extracted from Cordyceps militaris fruit bodies via submerged fermentation, water extraction, purification, and spray‑drying. Its primary constituent is D‑mannitol (cordycepic acid), a polyol compound with well‑documented biological activities.
Mechanisms of Action
- D‑mannitol acts as an osmoprotectant, free‑radical scavenger, and anti‑inflammatory modulator via inhibition of pro‑inflammatory pathways (e.g., MAPK) and reduction of TNF‑α, IL‑6, and oxidative stress.
- Polysaccharides & β‑glucans support immune homeostasis via pattern recognition receptors and gut‑associated lymphoid tissue signaling.
- Adenosine & cordycepin modulate energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and nucleoside‑mediated cellular signaling.
- The material is chemically stable at processing temperatures ≤80°C, with consistent solubility and bioactivity retention.
