Why brands use it

Why brands use Cordyceps Extract

Cordyceps Extract is a botanical extract reviewed against the target market’s botanical rules, sitting in the botanicals family. On DAT Supply briefs the positioning is set by the brand brief and reviewed against the target market’s claim rules — we do not pre-position an active for any single benefit. Editorial framing uses only applicable claims framework- or DSHEA-compatible wording — we never promote unauthorised claims, even when the active has consumer-side momentum. Format-wise we have considered Cordyceps Extract for gummies and powder stick; the per-format formulation notes below describe the live constraints (taste, payload, stability, packaging) we tune in the formulation pass. Sourcing form (extract ratio for botanicals, salt or chelate form for minerals, free-form vs ester for amino acids) is reviewed against the brief, with documentation matched to the target market’s import rules. Inclusion rate and claim wording are reviewed per project — we don’t publish off-the-shelf doses.

Claim wording

US structure-function statements

Structure-function wording for this ingredient is reviewed per project against DSHEA (21 USC §343(r)(6)). No final on-pack copy is implied by this page.

Botanical actives like Cordyceps Extract sit in a partially-harmonised EU claims position: most botanical health claims remain on hold (the "on-hold list"), and country-level rules (Italy, France, Spain, Belgium) layer on top with their own positive and negative lists for botanical use. Novel-food status is checked before any brief moves forward, alongside any traditional-use route where it applies. UK rules track EU wording post-Brexit but the GB market follows its own retained list. For the US market, structure-function wording under DSHEA applies, with the FDA disclosure on pack. Pack copy is rewritten per market and reviewed per project.

US structure-function statements

Structure-function statements must appear with the FDA disclaimer in the same field of vision on the label. % Daily Value (DV) based on FDA 21 CFR 101.9. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Reference level

Typical anchor: mg per serving — confirmed per project.

Cordyceps Extract is measured by weight (mg) per serving on DAT Supply briefs. The working anchor — the inclusion rate against which target-market claim wording is reviewed — is set during the formulation pass for each project rather than published as a fixed number on the public page. Final per-serving load depends on the chosen format (gummy payload window, capsule fill weight, softgel oil load, sachet or powder scoop size, oral-liquid bottle geometry) and the claim wording the brand needs to support against the target market. Sourcing form (extract ratio, standardised marker, micronised vs granular, salt or chelate form) is reviewed in the same pass. Country-level upper limits (France, Italy, Belgium for the EU; California Prop 65 for the US) are checked before any inclusion rate is finalised. Dose is confirmed per project — we don’t publish off-the-shelf dose tables for any active in the catalogue.
