Lab reports

Beta-Glucans 41.9%

1 of 6 - Potency

Why They Matter: Beta-D-glucans are the active compounds that give mushrooms their real health benefits.
Our Standard: We guarantee at least 40% beta-D-glucans—third-party tested for proven potency.
Watch Out: Terms like “high polysaccharides” can hide cheap starch fillers. Always look for beta-D-glucan levels.
True Transparency: Most brands rely on grain-based mycelium with minimal beta-D-glucans. We use only real mushroom fruiting bodies for maximum efficacy.

Get the potency you pay for—insist on tested beta-D-glucans.

Alpha-Glucans 15%

2 of 6 - Purity

Why This Matters

Alpha-Glucans as a Quality Check: High alpha-glucan levels often indicate fillers or grain-based mycelium. For Cordyceps, 15% alpha-glucans may appear concerning, but it’s actually due to the Megazyme assay’s recent reclassification of Trehalase—not added fillers.
Grain-Based Mycelium = Lower Quality: Many mushroom supplements use grain-based mycelium, resulting in inflated alpha-glucan content.
No Fillers, Pure Ingredients: Our third-party testing confirms Cordyceps remains potent and authentic despite the new alpha-glucan measurement.

With us, you’re getting the full benefits of Cordyceps, free from unnecessary fillers.

Heavy Metals

3 of 6 - Safety

Why This Matters

Mushrooms Are Bio-Accumulators
By nature, mushrooms can absorb heavy metals from their environment, making strict testing essential.
Stringent EU Standards
The EU enforces some of the world’s toughest limits on lead, cadmium, and mercury. Our levels fall well below these limits for optimal safety.
Safe, Low Readings
Even arsenic, which lacks a specific EU limit, remains at a low, non-hazardous level in our products.
Clean & Reliable Supplements
By meeting and exceeding these standards, we guarantee you’re getting pure, high-quality supplements—free from harmful toxins.

Pesticides

3 of 7 - Safety

Why This Matters

Mushrooms Can Absorb Pesticides
As natural bio-accumulators, mushrooms can store harmful chemicals from the environment, making thorough testing crucial.
Comprehensive Testing
We use both Liquid Chromatography (LC) and Gas Chromatography (GC) to screen for pesticides, going beyond basic requirements to ensure your safety.
Below the Limit of Quantification
Our third-party results show pesticide levels are too low to be measured—indicating practically none detected.
Your Assurance of Safety
While some brands run minimal checks, we conduct full-spectrum screenings to deliver a clean, worry-free product.

Microbials

5 of 6 - Safety

Why This Matters

From Harvest to Home
Mushrooms grow in natural environments and can pick up microbes at any point—during cultivation, transportation, or processing. That’s why we’re committed to stringent safety measures every step of the way.
High Standards, Pure Products
By maintaining low microbial counts and ruling out harmful bacteria, we ensure our mushrooms are as safe and clean when they arrive at your door as they were at the source. This lets you enjoy every serving with total confidence.

Saccharomyces Cerevisae

6 of 6 - Purity

Why This Matters

Preventing Artificial Beta-Glucan Inflation
Some brands use Baker’s Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to falsely boost beta-glucan levels, creating misleading claims about potency.
Two-Tier Testing
We check both regular yeast (DNA detectable, confirmed negative via PCR) and purified yeast (DNA undetectable, verified negative through microscopic analysis). This dual approach ensures zero yeast in our products.
True Mushroom Potency
By ruling out yeast entirely, we protect the integrity of our extracts, so you know the beta-glucan content comes exclusively from real mushrooms. This way, you can trust you’re getting the true benefits you paid for.

Support for Active Lifestyles: Many people choose Cordyceps as part of their pre- or post-activity regimen to complement their daily routines.

Rich Nutritional Profile: Cordyceps contain naturally occurring compounds that are highly valued in functional mushrooms.

Traditionally Revered: Cordyceps have been recognized for their unique properties and use in traditional practices.

What's the best form of consumption of cordyceps?

The best way to enjoy Cordyceps depends on your preferences and daily routine. Here are some popular options:

Capsules: Convenient and pre-measured, Antioxi Cordyceps Mushroom capsules are perfect for those seeking a simple way to incorporate Cordyceps into their day.

Ultimately, the best form is the one that aligns with your preferences and routine.

What is cordyceps sinensis?

Cordyceps sinensis, also known as Ophiocordyceps sinensis, is a unique fungus traditionally used in Chinese and Tibetan practices for centuries. Below are some key aspects of this remarkable organism:

Natural Habitat: Cordyceps sinensis is native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, including areas such as Tibet, Bhutan, and Nepal. It grows parasitically on the larvae of ghost moths, contributing to its rarity.

Cultivation and Accessibility: Due to its rarity and the challenges of harvesting wild specimens, Cordyceps sinensis is extremely expensive. Cultivated alternatives have been developed to address these challenges, providing a sustainable and cost-effective option.

Cordyceps Militaris: A Sustainable Alternative

At Antioxi, we use Cordyceps militaris, a closely related species with distinct advantages:

Active Compounds: Cordyceps militaris contains a higher concentration of key compounds such as cordycepin and adenosine, which are appreciated for their unique profiles.

Sustainability: Unlike Cordyceps sinensis, Cordyceps militaris can be cultivated in controlled environments, reducing environmental impact and ensuring consistent quality.

Accessibility: Cultivation of Cordyceps militaris ensures a more affordable and ethically sourced option, making it a reliable choice for functional mushroom enthusiasts.

Why is Cordyceps called the zombie fungus?

The name "Cordyceps sinensis" originates from its unique and captivating lifecycle, earning it the nickname "zombie fungus." Here’s what makes this fungus so intriguing:

Parasitic Nature: Cordyceps fungi are parasitic and infect insects and arthropods, such as ants and caterpillars.

Behavioral Influence: Once infected, the host’s behavior is influenced, often causing it to leave its colony and climb to a high vantage point, like a plant stem or leaf.

Spore Dispersal: At this height, the fungus completes its lifecycle by growing a stalk through the host’s body. This stalk releases spores into the environment, ready to infect new hosts.

Eerie Appearance: The visual of the fungus growing from the host’s body adds to its "zombie" reputation.

Why Antioxi Uses Cordyceps Militaris

While Cordyceps sinensis is fascinating in its natural form, Antioxi Cordyceps supplements feature Cordyceps militaris, a cultivated species that offers key advantages:

Cultivation: Cordyceps militaris is grown in controlled environments, ensuring sustainability and consistency without relying on insect hosts.

Active Compounds: It is valued for its unique compound profile, including cordycepin and adenosine.

Accessibility and Sustainability: Cultivated Cordyceps militaris provides an ethical and environmentally friendly alternative to wild Cordyceps sinensis.

This approach ensures that Antioxi supplements deliver a high-quality, sustainable product while respecting the natural environment and avoiding ethical concerns associated with traditional harvesting practices.

Cordyceps have definitely become my best gym buddy 💪🏻 🏅🏋

Please note that the packaging that mine came in is the old packaging, which I have been told is in the process of being phased out and replaced with the new packaging. The new packing is what is shown on this item's webpage.

Basically, the name, information, ingredients, dosage information that is shown on the old packaging can be disregarded and instead the name, information, ingredients, dosage information shown on the webpage is what is correct as of now. A bit confusing I know, but I queried this with Theo with regards to the old packaging, and there been different information etc on the old packaging when compared to what is shown on this item's webpage, and I was told this. Just thought I would mention this for the benefit of potential purchasers, who may be wondering why the information, ingredients, dosage information, and the packaging is different from the website.

Now with that being said, here's my thoughts on the Cordyceps capsules:

I chose the 360 capsule packs, but smaller amounts are available and also the Cordyceps are available in a powder form as well.

I remember the first day I tool the Cordyceps capsules, which was around a couple of hours before heading off to the gym to do the cardio. The cardio I do on that given day, is what I do every Sunday at the gym. I wasn't expecting to feel anything as this was the first time I had taken them. But wow. The easiest way to describe it, is it felt like I had done the cardio at a lesser level on the…

Falsely advertised Cordyceps extract

I wanted the Cordyceps Militaris Extract as shown in the lab results but got a CS-4 version.

CS-4 was never mentioned, it is just different from Cordyceps Militaris.

The CS-4 version is known to have inferior levels of cordycepin content. That's what I look for.

This do gives performance boosting effect I feel and I will continue to use it so 4 stars, its not bad.

but Antioxi should be more clear what product they are actually selling.
