Product Review

Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs proudly offers a Cordyceps (Caterpillar) Mushroom Extract standardized to 40% Polysaccharides. The Cordyceps Certificate of Analysis (COA) of this particular batch is shown above. Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) is one of the most valued and useful herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Due to its ability to improve energy, stamina, appetite, endurance, and sleeping patterns, it has been classified as a general health tonic. ***These vegetable-derived capsules (Vegan, Kosher and Halal certified) are filled on slow speed equipment and only pure, unadulterated herbal extract is contained in the capsules. There are no magnesium stearates, fillers, gelatin, silicates, gluten, corn, wheat, rice, yeast, starch, titanium dioxide, artificial colors, artificial flavors or preservatives. Capsules produced with high speed equipment in herbal and dietary supplement "factories" generally contain several other ingredients, including powdered lubricants called STEARATES (which can greatly diminish an herb or supplement's absorption into the body). Check their labels! Barlowe also still bottles his products in glass as he believes chemical vapors can vent from plastic containers and contaminate the contents and that glass is better for the environment.
