Cordyceps is a mushroom that grows in nature on the larvae of insects. When these fungi attack their host, they replace the tissue and sprout long, slender stems that grow outside the host's body.
Cordyceps sinensis and militaris
Of the more than 400 species of Cordyceps that have been discovered, two are used in health research: Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris.
Cordyceps sinensis
Cordyceps sinensis is best known and popular in food supplements. In traditional Chinese medicine, Cordyceps sinensis is known as the 'imperial mushroom' because of the adaptogenic properties of this mushroom.
Cordyceps militaris
Cordyceps militaris is also widely used in supplements, but this variant has been on the European Novel Food list for several months now. Novel Foods are foods and supplements that were not sold as food or supplement within the EU before 15 May 1997. They fall under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 on novel foods.
Because it has recently come to light that Cordyceps militaris was not on the market in the EU before 15 May 1997, a dossier must be submitted for this supplement to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). Only after approval by the EFSA may Cordyceps militaris be sold again.
The current ban is therefore not the result of problems with the safety of this variant, but only because of the now known Novel Food status.
Active substances
Cordyceps sinensis contains various active ingredients that offer all kinds of benefits. Cordycepin is one of the best-known and most studied components and has various biological activities. In addition, Cordyceps sinensis is rich in polysaccharides. It also contains adenosine, cordyceps acids, sterols, nucleosides, various proteins and peptides and trace elements such as zinc, selenium and magnesium.
