Industry Trends

Functional Mushrooms are Everywhere

Functional mushrooms have been around for a long time. The first written record of Lion's Mane dates back to the Tang Dynasty in China (618–907 AD), where it was documented as a delicacy reserved for royalty. Now they are in everything from gummies to coffees. How did we get here?

Quality & Testing

Product quality is the single biggest driver of repeat purchases. When consumers experience the benefits of a high-quality mushroom product, they're far more likely to buy again. Low-quality ingredients, poor cultivation practices, and weak formulations often fail to deliver results, making it difficult to build lasting customer loyalty.
