SIGNALS OF SUCCESSFULLY STUDY

The research team had to directly study and research at the place to raise and provide seed in the US, South Korea, China, Thailand. And after thousands of failed studies with many different causes such as methods, seed, environment, low quality … then in late 2014, the first successful Cordyceps appeared with mushroom length reaching 3 – 5cm and active ingredient indexes reached 80% compared to products of USA, Korea, China …

SUCCESSFULLY RESEARCH

After finding quality seed, the research team continued to update high-tech machinery to test different farming methods. In mid-2015, we successfully tested the natural simulation method to create an adverse environment, without using growth stimulants, that helped its immunity thereby accumulating the highest active ingredient concentration, Cordyceps reached the astonishing index is 5 times higher than Korean, Chinese products … with the main index Cordycepin>= 13mg/g and Adenosine>= 0.4mg/g.

COMPLETE THE 12-STEP PROCESS

After successful research, the team’s goal had been how to ensure uniform quality, reduce the risk of seed failure and produce with industrial scale. By the end of 2015, the team had completed a 12-step closed farming procedure that helped decrease the failure rate be only 5% and the uniform rate of seed was 80%, which could produce with industrial scale.

APPLY TECHNOLOGY 4.0 FOR INDUSTRIAL SCALE PRODUCTION

In 2016, Thien Tam Thao Co., Ltd. established and received technology transfer of Cordyceps cultivation from the research team. Started importing machinery and equipment and applied technology 4.0 for the industrial production. By the end of 2016, the first factory with a production area of 300m2 was completed entirely for the current production of nearly 300kg/year.

APPLICATION RESEARCH AFTER RAW MATERIALS

After the products is avalaible in Vietnam market, Thien Tam Thao’s Cordyceps received a lot of trust and positive feedback from customers. But we realized the issue of using and utilizing the raw material of Cordyceps to achieve the highest efficiency as well as the direction of development, Thien Tam Thao Research and Production Center started to research and produce products from raw materials of Cordyceps.

FIRST APPLICATION PRODUCTS

To apply production from Cordyceps, Thien Tam Thao’s research team needs to coordinate with other partners. And after clinical trials with many failed products, by the end of 2017, Thien Tam Thao released some remarkable products: Cordyceps alcohol for gifts and daily use, Cordyceps tea, Cordyceps soup used for patients, Cordyceps water – Royal beeswax in Vietnam, premium Cordyceps supporting treatment of cancer, liver, kidney, blood pressure …

2018 to now

WORLD DEVELOPMENT AND OBJECTIVES

After successfully research some products applied in the market, Thien Tam Thao has achieved a lot of achievements including the successful technology transfer for 5 major partners both inside and outside country, with the participation and support of the Government, the support and encouragement from Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, the major partners from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs … And currently Thien Tam Thao aims to 2025 that Cordyceps products will be available in developed markets such as Korea, Japan, Canada, Australia, Germany and some Southeast Asian countries.
