Why It Scores 6.1 — And The Label Line Behind Each Number
Species & extract quality
30% of scoreCordyceps sinensis mycelium powder. Our method ranks militaris above sinensis and fruiting-body extracts above mycelium, which puts this with the other mycelium picks.
- Species
- Cordyceps sinensis, mycelium powder
Beta-glucan & active content
25% of scoreThe panel states 40% polysaccharides, 400 mg per serving. It gives no beta-glucan or cordycepin figure, and polysaccharides in a mycelium product can include grain starch.
- Standardisation
- 40% polysaccharides (400 mg); no beta-glucan or cordycepin figure
Purity & third-party testing
20% of scoreThe ingredient line says organic and the label lists a long set of allergens the product is free from. We could read no certifier's seal, and no testing is stated on the label or the shop page.

Marketing Claims Vs. Reality
Energy support
This line is on the front label. A small trial found better exercise tolerance after three weeks of a Cordyceps militaris blend (Hirsch 2017). That was a different species and form from this product.
Standardized to 40% polysaccharides
Printed on the Supplement Facts panel. No independent assay is published, and polysaccharides are not the same as beta-glucans.
Retaining all of their benefits when grown on a vegan substrate such as grain
This line is from the shop text. Grain-grown mycelium is usually dried with its substrate, which is the reason our method scores it below fruiting-body extracts.
What Our Test Actually Found
Polysaccharides are the easy number
Starch is a polysaccharide. A mycelium product grown on grain can report a high polysaccharide figure without telling you how much of it is the beta-glucan you are paying for.
The price is the outlier
At $1.17 a day this costs more than the fruiting-body extracts that lead the list. Nothing on the label explains that premium.
What would move the score
A fruiting-body extract with a stated, tested beta-glucan figure would move it into the top half.
Full analysis: all pros & cons (7), buy if / skip if
- Organic, with a long free-from list on the label
- 1,000 mg per serving with the standardisation printed
- Pullulan capsule, suitable for vegans
- Sold direct from our own shop
- Mycelium powder, not a fruiting-body extract
- No beta-glucan or cordycepin figure
- $1.17 a day is the highest price on the list
- You want an organic cordyceps with a long allergen free-from list
- You prefer a vegan pullulan capsule
- You want to buy direct from the shop behind this site
- You want a fruiting-body extract with stated beta-glucans; FreshCap and Real Mushrooms lead the list
- Price matters; this is the dearest serving on the list
- You want published third-party testing
Mycelium is usually grown on grain and dried together with it, so part of what is measured as polysaccharide can be grain starch. That is why our method asks for beta-glucans specifically. The top picks are fruiting-body extracts that state that figure and cost less per day.
This is our own product, and we scored it with the same five criteria as every other cordyceps on our list. The Supplement Facts panel shows 1,000 mg of organic Cordyceps sinensis mushroom mycelium powder per two capsules, standardised to 40% polysaccharides. Our method ranks Cordyceps militaris fruiting-body extracts with a stated beta-glucan figure highest. This is sinensis mycelium with a polysaccharide figure, at the highest price per day on the list.
Cleanly made, and outclassed by the extracts above it
Our cordyceps is an organic mycelium powder in a clean capsule. By our criteria that form sits below fruiting-body extracts, and this bottle costs more than they do. If you want cordyceps for training, buy one of the top three.

Quick Answers
Is this your own product?
Yes. Super Achiever Club sells it in our own shop. We scored it with the same five criteria as every other product in this category, and it ranks where that score puts it.
Is it a fruiting-body extract?
No. The panel lists Cordyceps sinensis mushroom mycelium powder.
What does 40% polysaccharides mean?
400 mg of the 1,000 mg serving is polysaccharide. The label does not say how much of that is beta-glucan.
