Gibsons, BC, Canada (December 6, 2022) – Nammex and Ethical Naturals Inc (ENI), two long time collaborators, have teamed up to take mushroom ingredients to the next level, addressing specific health concerns in hot categories. The new ENI Mushroom-Plus ingredient products contain Organic Mushroom Extracts from Nammex blended with other actives that add to their beneficial effects, while enhancing their marketability.
“Bill Chioffi, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer of Nammex, works with many of our clients across different sectors to help them develop effective mushroom-based formulations, so we know more brands are blending other actives with mushrooms in foods, beverages, gummies, and traditional dietary supplement forms,” said Jeff Chilton, Nammex founder and President. “ENI has met a growing need in the industry with this new ingredient line, and we were pleased to work with our friends and colleagues on this project.”
“It was important that the mushrooms in this line be standardized, organically certified extracts made from actual mushrooms, not mycelium or starch,” said Cal Bewicke, CEO, Ethical Naturals Inc. “Because I have decades of experience working with Jeff and Nammex, and know their products, this was a perfect fit for our new Mushrooms-Plus line.”
The Mushroom-Plus line includes:
- MycoCalm™, for relaxation without drowsiness, contains Red Reishi extract, traditionally used for relaxation, and ENI’s AlphaWave® L-Theanine, which is clinically proven to promote alpha brainwave activity.
- Ergothioneine-Plus for cellular support & healthy aging, contains MitoPrime® GRAS affirmed ergothioneine (from fermentation) with shiitake mushroom extract. Ergothioneine occurs naturally in Shiitake mushroom. Recently published research articles have focused on its ability to promote cellular support and healthy aging.
- Lion’s Mane-Plus, for clear focus and mental alertness, contains standardized Lion’s Mane Extract combined with premium PureLeaf™ Ginkgo biloba extract. Lion’s Mane mushroom contains the compounds hericenones and erinacines that stimulate and support healthy brain cell growth.
- Cordyceps-Plus, for energy and endurance. Cordyceps has been used for thousands of years in traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine for its ability to provide healthy immune support and core energy benefits. In this formula, these qualities are enhanced with premium Panax ginseng extract.
The Mushrooms-Plus™ ingredients are available in powder, or encapsulated and bottled at the ENI facility.
