M2 Ingredients has partnered with the Regenerative Organic Alliance (ROA) to roll out a comprehensive selection of Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) mushrooms.
The new range includes five popular varieties: Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, and Chaga.
In addition to this product launch, M2 Ingredients has unveiled Myco-Suspend, a proprietary solution aimed at changing the way consumers engage with whole mushroom powders.
Myco-Suspend will feature ten organic species, which comprise Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, Chaga, Shiitake, Maitake, King Trumpet, Sun Mushroom, and Antrodia.
M2 Ingredients founder Dr Sandra Carter said: “I am incredibly proud of the collaborative work we’ve accomplished with the ROA team to establish these new, stringent growing standards for ROC-certified functional mushrooms.
“This partnership empowers consumers to access premium, sustainably cultivated mushroom products that bolster both their well-being and the planet’s health.”
M2 Ingredients is leading the charge in the regenerative organic agriculture sector by providing ROC mushrooms that meet and exceed conventional criteria related to soil health, animal welfare, and fair labour practices.
The Regenerative Organic Certified label enhances the existing USDA Certified Organic standards by integrating stringent requirements that focus on the three essential pillars of regenerative organic agriculture: soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness.
Regenerative Organic Alliance CEO Christopher Gergen said: “We are thrilled to partner with M2 Ingredients in this pioneering endeavour.
“Their unwavering commitment to regenerative and organic practices and transformative innovation within the rapidly expanding functional mushroom sector is truly inspiring.
“This collaboration marks a significant leap towards making regenerative organic growing practices the industry norm in the supplement space.”
M2 Ingredients chief science officer Dr Julie Daoust said: “Myco-Suspend represents a step forward in mushroom beverage technology. Our proprietary formulation ensures that consumers fully reap the benefits of our whole mushroom powders without product settling in solution.
“With Myco-Suspend, our powders remain suspended significantly longer than competing mushroom extracts, ensuring complete consumption of all beneficial compounds.”
Last month, M2 Ingredients opened a new advanced organic mushroom growing facility to meet the growing demand for premium, organic and functional mushroom products and enhance customer service.
