Quality and Purity Check the ingredients list to ensure Cordyceps is the main ingredient without unnecessary additives. The quality of Cordyceps can also depend on the processing methods used. At Chong Hoe, we grind the Cordyceps ourselves to maintain its potency. When necessary, we may incorporate other herbs to enhance the product, depending on specific requirements. 2. Price and Value Cordyceps in Singapore are priced and valued based on several factors, including the type (wild-harvested vs. cultivated), form (powder, capsules, extracts), and grade. Wild-harvested Cordyceps, which are rare and traditionally considered more potent, tend to be significantly more expensive due to their labour-intensive harvesting process and limited availability. 3. Source Determine if the Cordyceps is wild-harvested or cultivated. Wild Cordyceps, like those from Qinghai, are often rarer and may command higher prices due to their natural growth environment and unique properties. 4. Authenticity Assess the authenticity by examining the Cordyceps’s smell, appearance, and features. Genuine Cordyceps should have a distinct, earthy aroma and a consistent texture. Our experience in the industry helps us ensure the quality of our products based on these characteristics.
