Question 1

What is the dosage and approximately how many doses are in the bottle?

Accepted Answer

Dose is 1ml, there are 30 servings per bottle. The label recommends 2 doses per day, taken that way there is enough for 15 days.

Question 2

How many milligrams per serving? Thank you!

Accepted Answer

it is hard to tell based on the label info. it looks like aprrox 600 mg of herb per dropper full.we have this ready for prompt shipment from grounds for tea

Question 3

Will delivery during hot days affect the quality of this product? Especially if the package ends up sitting in the heat for a while.

Accepted Answer

Current methods of extending the storage time of wild Cordyceps sinensis adversely affect the nutritive and medicinal value of the product. Thus, this study was designed to investigate the effects of heat treatment, a relatively safe storage extension method, on the biological activity of wild C. sinensis.

Methods
Samples were heated to 60, 80, or 100°C for 15, 30, or 60 minutes. SOD activity in wild C. sinensis before and after heating was assayed using a standard colorimetric assay. Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) activity was measured using the plasmid-nicking assay. Cordycepin content was analyzed using HPLC. Polysaccharide content was measured using the phenol-sulfuric method. The Student's t-test was used for comparison.

Results
After heating at 60, 80, 100°C for 15, 30, 60 minutes, respectively, no significant reduction in DNase activity or polysaccharide dissolution was noted (P > .05). Interestingly, heating at 80°C for 30 minutes led to a significant increase in the SOD activity of C. sinensis (P  .05).

Conclusions
These results suggested that heat treatment does not adversely affect SOD or DNase activity, polysaccharide content, or cordycepin dissolution. Thus, heat treatment might be a safe processing method to extend the storage time of wild C. sinensis without compromising biological activity.

Question 4

What percent beta glucans?

Accepted Answer

According to Host Defense: These are some of the most well-known constituents studied in mushroom mycelium and fruitbodies, however they are only some of the many valuable compounds that can help support and maintain health. We believe all of the nutrients and myriad compounds within the entire organism are beneficial to the immune system, and necessary for a whole foods approach to health. A chief goal with our products is to keep the mushroom's natural chemical architectures intact. Therefore, we don't isolate any specific compounds or concentrate them. While our products do contain these compounds, as a supplement company, we focus our testing on Identity, Composition, Purity and Strength rather than nutritional, mineral or other analyses. We can guarantee our capsules contain greater than 55% polysaccharides.
