Cordyceps
Cordyceps militaris
Bioactive compounds
cordicepina
Cordycepin is a natural nucleoside identified mainly in Cordyceps militaris, structurally related to adenosine. Experimental studies have explored its involvement in processes of cellular signaling and energy metabolism. Its interest within functional nutrition centers on accompanying vitality and the adaptive capacity of the body in a balanced way, without artificial stimulation.
ergothioneina
Ergothioneine is an uncommon dietary antioxidant, present in relevant concentrations in certain mushrooms. It stands out for its active transport into cells and its participation in protection against oxidative stress. It is studied as part of nutritional strategies oriented toward cellular support and the maintenance of redox balance.
adenosina
Adenosine is a molecule naturally present in all living beings and also identified in some functional mushrooms. It plays a key role in regulating processes such as energy balance, the response to stress, and communication between physiological systems. In functional nutrition, it is valued for its modulating role, accompanying the natural regulatory mechanisms of the body. (It is also produced endogenously in the human body.)
beta-glucanos-polisacaridos-fungicos
β-glucans and other polysaccharides form an essential part of the cell wall of many mushrooms. They have been widely studied for their interaction with the immune system and for their role as complex fibers that support digestive health. Their presence in the diet is associated with accompanying immune balance and integral well-being from a nutritional standpoint.
polifenoles
Various mushrooms contain antioxidants such as polyphenols, phenolic compounds, and natural pigments. These compounds take part in oxidative balance by interacting with free radicals and with cellular processes associated with stress. Their inclusion in the diet forms part of nutritional strategies oriented toward cellular well-being and protection in the face of daily demands.
