Product Description

Cordycepin (CAS 73-03-0), also known as 3′-deoxyadenosine, is a bioactive nucleoside antibiotic naturally found in the medicinal mushroom Cordyceps militaris. As one of the most studied bioactive compounds from Cordyceps species, cordycepin has attracted significant attention across the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries for its targeted biological activities.

Our cordycepin powder is available in a range of purity grades from 1% to 98% (HPLC-verified), offering formulation flexibility for diverse applications. Unlike generic cordyceps extracts that contain a broader mixture of fungal compounds (polysaccharides, adenosine, and other saponins), high-purity cordycepin powder delivers consistent potency, precise dosing, and targeted bioactivity for advanced product development.
