1. Organic Natural Whole Wood Log Cultivation
In the 1970s, our visionary founder, Prof. Wong, revolutionized the cultivation of Ganoderma mushrooms with the introduction of the Natural Whole Wood Log Cultivation method. This innovative technique ensures the growth of premium-quality Ganoderma mushrooms in a fully organic environment, free from harmful chemicals and pesticides—embodying a commitment to health and sustainability.
2. The Lingzhi Plantation: A Cultural and Natural Haven
Nestled in Jiangyou, the hometown of the legendary poet Li Bai, our Lingzhi plantation is located at East 104˚31' - 105˚17' and North 31˚32' - 32˚19'. Surrounded by iconic cultural landmarks such as Mt. Douwei, Temple Yunyan, and the Sword Door, the plantation also lies near the mythical Nine Villages and the celestial Yellow Dragon Temple.
The region's subtropical humid monsoon climate, with an average annual sunshine duration of 1,367 hours and rainfall of 1,100mm, creates an ideal environment for Lingzhi cultivation. At an altitude of 600 meters and an average temperature of 16˚C, the plantation provides optimal conditions for producing high-quality Lingzhi mushrooms. Additionally, the nearby forests offer an abundance of wild Lingzhi during summer and autumn.
3. Recognizing Lingzhi’s Maturation and Harvesting
The ideal time for harvesting Lingzhi is determined by observing the following signs of maturation:
✔ Cessation of growth in the top cover of the Lingzhi.
✔ A consistent, uniform color on the top cover, with a visible curled circle along its edges.
✔ Dispersion of Lingzhi spores, indicating full maturity.
✔ Even coloration beneath the top cover, confirming readiness for harvest.
4. Uncompromising Quality Standards
Our Lingzhi products are cultivated and harvested with strict adherence to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards. Once harvested, they undergo rigorous sorting and processing to meet Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. This ensures that every product from Concord Sunchih delivers a highly concentrated dose of beneficial compounds to support overall health and well-being.
5. What is Cordyceps Cs-4?
Cordyceps Cs-4 is a specialized strain of mycelium cultivated to replicate the active compounds found in wild Cordyceps mushrooms. Wild Cordyceps are rare and expensive, and their traditional harvesting methods can be environmentally damaging.
To ensure sustainability without compromising potency, modern research focuses on extracting bioactive compounds from the Cs-4 strain of mycelium, cultivated in liquid culture using hot water and alcohol extraction techniques. This advanced cultivation method preserves the powerful health benefits of wild Cordyceps.
Our Concord Vita-Cordy capsules feature a unique blend of wild-harvested Cordyceps and Cs-4 extracts, ensuring maximum efficacy and health benefits.
