ordyceps (scientifically known as Ophiocordyceps sinensis) is becoming increasingly popular and highly valued. In modern medicine, cordyceps is recognized as a medicinal mushroom with many remarkable health benefits. However, there are still some misconceptions about this medicinal mushroom. Let’s explore some incorrect beliefs about it.
CORDYCEPS CURES ALL DISEASES – FALSE
Cordyceps is a medicinal mushroom that provides energy and supports health issues. It does not cure all diseases as some people mistakenly believe. In terms of overall health, cordyceps helps users stay alert and full of energy.
Additionally, it can improve some health issues such as high blood pressure, blood lipid disorders, diabetes, etc., by moderating and alleviating symptoms caused by these diseases. Chronic or long-term diseases still require conventional medicine alongside.
CORDYCEPS IS ONLY FOUND IN THE WILD – FALSE
Cordyceps is now successfully cultivated and researched in many countries. In Vietnam, mushroom farms in Da Lat have successfully commercialized this species. With current scientific techniques, the quality and output of artificially cultivated cordyceps are gradually dominating the market. The biggest advantages are its affordability, high production volume, and the ability to control the medicinal properties within.
THERE IS ONLY ONE TYPE OF CORDYCEPS – FALSE
Cordyceps is a genus of parasitic fungi that grows on a host. There are many species of Cordyceps, and it is from this fungus that the names of various products are derived. The naturally occurring species known to the world is Cordyceps sinensis, while Cordyceps militaris is the species chosen for cultivation. With advantages such as high productivity, better environmental tolerance, and more stable medicinal properties, this type of mushroom is increasingly favored in the cultivation cordyceps.
CORDYCEPS IS ONLY FOR THE WEALTHY – FALSE
With today’s cultivation technology, the production of Cordyceps has significantly increased. The cost is more affordable, and its availability is broader, making it more accessible for the average consumer to enhance their health. The price of cultivated varieties today is only about 1/10 or even 1/30 compared to those harvested in Tibet.

Hector Cordyceps includes traditional freeze-dried Cordyceps, Cordyceps capsules, and especially Hector Cordyceps mushroom drink and Hector Collagen Cordyceps drink.
