“Our Ayurvedic mushroom coffees are formulated with immune-boosting medicinal mushrooms that are antioxidant and nutrient-rich. This includes reishi, chaga, lion’s mane and turkey tail mushrooms, all of which are widely regarded for their health benefits,” said Penny White, CEO of Flourish Mushroom Labs. “This is especially top of mind in the midst of the global health crisis we are currently facing. For us, it is crucial that we are able to deliver health-boosting products that are easy to consume and delicious as we all try to keep ourselves and our families healthy.”
Canadian Phytopharmaceuticals Corporation is a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified contract manufacturer and private labeller with more than twenty years experience.
“Our new manufacturing partner is recognized for its dedication to research, innovation and the development and manufacturing of top quality botanical extracts, natural health products and dietary supplements,” added White.
The Ayurvedic mushroom coffees are planned for launch in the summer of 2020.
The global market for functional mushrooms is forecasted to reach $34 billion by 2024 and grow at a CAGR of 8% between 2019 and 2024, according to a report from Mordor Intelligence.
Functional foods using mushrooms and Ayurvedic botanicals have a long history of therapeutic use. According to Health Canada, a functional food is demonstrated to have physiological benefits and/or reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond basic nutritional functions.
“The mushrooms we have chosen are nutrient-dense superfoods that are loaded with a wide range of impressive health benefits,” said Bhavna Solecki, Director of Product Development for The Yield Growth Corp. “Chaga is a known stress-adaptogen and immune modulator to stimulate and regulate the immune system. Reishi has immunostimulatory effects and shows antiviral activity. Turkey tail effectively strengthens the immune system and prevents colds and influenza while lion’s mane reduces anxiety and depression and improves cognitive function.”
The products are also planned to contain other Ayurvedic botanical ingredients such as Holy Basil, which naturally decreases anxiety; moringa, which acts as an antiviral and antidepressant; gotu kola, which reduces anxiety and stress while improving circulation, and amla; a potent fighter against bacteria and viruses.
“Our immune system is evolving and continuously fighting illnesses and environmental toxins. In these unpredictable times it is kindness, caring and being responsible for what we put in our bodies, our health and the health of our loved ones that will see us through,” said White.
