The fundamental distinction between Cordyceps Sinensis and Cordyceps Militaris is their concentration of adenosine and cordycepin. Studies have shown that Cordyceps Sinensis contains more adenosine than Cordyceps Militaris, but it doesn’t contain cordycepin.

• Sinensis: It’s cultivated in high-altitude regions across India, Tibet, Nepal, and of course, China. However, because of both the parasitic nature of the mushroom and where it's harvested (from insects) keeping up with the demand became challenging when it surged in popularity + the heavy price tag meant many were unable to afford it. This type of cordyceps retails at an average price of $20,000 per kilogram!
  
  
• Militaris: This is considered the lab-grown version of Sinensis. It is grown in a controlled environment paying close attention to quality and what’s even better, you can grow it without using actual insects. This makes it more affordable and easier to mass-produce + vegan and vegetarian friendly. This is the cordyceps type that we sell.
