AIDP, Inc. is pleased to announce an exclusive sales distribution agreement for Functional Fungi™ organic mushroom nutraceuticals. Functional Fungi offers a full line of certified organic, multi-patented mushroom powders produced in its US-based, large scale indoor growing, drying and manufacturing operation.
Functional Fungi mushrooms are grown utilizing multiple patented and patent pending processes including the use of a high antioxidant (anthocyanin) substrate, purple corn, compared to other brands that use inert or nutrient poor substrates like oat, rice, millet, and sawdust. The company’s state-of-the art, cultivation technology creates US grown single species mushroom powders or custom blends.
Functional Fungi combines an ancient fermentation process with the innovative ByoDry™ technology that helps preserve naturally occurring polysaccharides. The Functional Fungi mushroom powders are also gluten-free throughout the entire process and the finished product.
Mushrooms contain important, immune-boosting compounds: beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and prebiotics. Mushrooms are adaptogens and act to augment and regulate the body’s immune system while they provide support for daily environmental stressors. Mushroom ingredients are growing at a high rate and appearing in a wide variety of beverages, supplements and functional foods.
“We are excited to add the line of Functional Fungi to the AIDP portfolio. This trending ingredient has a wide range of applications for our customers,” says Mark Thurston, president of AIDP. “Functional Fungi provides the highest quality, organic mushroom powders in a wide variety of historically proven strains.”
“AIDP is the perfect partner for Functional Fungi,” adds Jordan Rubin, head of formulation. “AIDP customers align with Functional Fungi and have a great opportunity to include them in supplement, beverage and functional food formulations.”
