According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, “Ophiocordyceps sinensis”  is a fungus that naturally grows on ghost moths ( family Hepialidae ) and belongs to the Cordyceps sinensis complex. Related species include Cordyceps militaris. TCM Bio purified the CS-4 strain, scientifically known as Samsoniella hepiali , and cultured it into LivPhcD®.
LivPhcD® is the cordyceps mycelium of Samsoniella hepiali that is rich in adenosine. Adenosine is a nucleoside which plays an important role in various physiological processes, including energy metabolism and neurotransmission.
US Patent – Fermentation Process
LivPhcD® is a cutting-edge ingredient which created using patented fermentation and production techniques. The process involves the analysis of the components of the fermentative broth at different stages in order to determine the optimal cultivation conditions.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD):
MASLD is defined as the presence of hepatic steatosis together with one or more cardiometabolic risk factors, after excluding other clearly identifiable causes of hepatic steatosis.
The disease progression of MASLD includes metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver (MASL), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
