THE HIMALAYAS / OUR INSPIRATION
WHERE OUR STORY BEGINS
From a place
that asks you
to slow down.
The Himalayas have a way of putting things in perspective. Our collection takes its inspiration from this landscape and the people who know it.
Our starting point is a family connection to the Keeda Jadi trade. Our next step is turning that connection into a product with clear sourcing and ingredient information.

What is Keeda Jadi?
Know the ingredient.
Keeda Jadi is the Himalayan caterpillar fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis, formerly named Cordyceps sinensis. Also called Keera Jadi, Kida Jadi, Yarsagumba, or Yartsa Gunbu, it is a fungus–caterpillar complex, rather than an ordinary plant herb.
Keeda Jadi / Yarsagumba
Traditionally refers to Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a fungus associated with a caterpillar host in high-altitude regions.
Not all cordyceps is the same
Cultivated Cordyceps militaris is a different species. Species, source, and preparation matter when comparing products.
Clarity before commitment
Our launch information will identify the material in the final product. We won’t ask you to choose on a name alone.

A QUICK SPECIES GUIDE
Keeda Jadi vs.
Cordyceps militaris.
They are different species. A shared “cordyceps” label does not make their source, preparation, or research interchangeable.
| What to compare | Keeda Jadi | Cultivated cordyceps |
|---|---|---|
| Scientific name | Ophiocordyceps sinensis | Cordyceps militaris |
| Other names | Yarsagumba, Keera Jadi; formerly Cordyceps sinensis | Commonly sold as cultivated cordyceps |
| What you’re identifying | The traditional fungus–caterpillar complex | A separate fungal species; not wild Keeda Jadi |
| Before choosing | Check exact identity, legal sourcing, preparation, and batch testing | Check exact identity, cultivation method, preparation, and batch testing |
Ingredient references: Kew’s fungal taxonomy record, peer-reviewed research on Himalayan caterpillar fungus, and a review of research on sexual function. Traditional use is not proof that our future product treats a medical condition.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Good questions.
Straight answers.
What exactly is Keeda Jadi?
Keeda Jadi, also called Yarsagumba, traditionally refers to Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a fungus–caterpillar complex associated with high-altitude Himalayan regions. It is distinct from cultivated Cordyceps militaris.
What is the scientific name of Keeda Jadi?
The scientific name of Keeda Jadi is Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps sinensis is its former scientific name. Keera Jadi, Kida Jadi, Yarsagumba, and Yartsa Gunbu are common names used for the traditional fungus–caterpillar material.
Is Keeda Jadi the same as Cordyceps militaris?
No. Keeda Jadi traditionally refers to Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps militaris is a different fungal species commonly cultivated for supplements. Check the scientific name and preparation on the label rather than treating all cordyceps products as equivalent.
Where does Keeda Jadi come from?
Wild Ophiocordyceps sinensis is associated with high-altitude Himalayan and Tibetan Plateau regions. The origin of a particular bottle must be verified through its supplier and batch records; a regional story alone does not authenticate a product.
Can I buy it right now?
We’re preparing our first release. You can register your interest without making a payment. We’ll share confirmed product details, price, and availability before orders open.
Is this a treatment for sexual health concerns?
No. We do not present this collection as a treatment for erectile dysfunction or any other medical condition, or as an alternative to prescription medication. Traditional use does not establish clinical effectiveness.
Will capsules and powder both be available?
These are the two formats we’re exploring. Select your preference to help shape the first collection. Final formats, pack sizes, and serving information will be confirmed at launch.
What should I check before taking a supplement?
Review the final ingredient list, testing information, directions, and warnings. Speak with a qualified healthcare professional if you take medication, have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Product-specific guidance will accompany any future release.
