Megafood Launches Superfood Mushroom Line Including The First Ever Dietary Supplement Mushroom Product Clinically Tested For Stress Relief Ϯ*

The new Superfood Mushroom line utilizes the mushrooms' fruiting bodies versus mycelium on grain fillers. These fruiting bodies have been shown to contain higher levels of beta-glucans than myceliated grain products making them the optimal choice for harnessing the potential of mushrooms' health-supporting properties. Additionally, to ensure the highest quality ingredient standard, MegaFood sourced organic mushrooms that are greenhouse-grown on natural substrates with environmental conditions of fresh air, and ambient temperatures in an effort to mimic natural growth conditions."We are proud to launch this line of doctor formulated, plant-powered Superfood Mushrooms to support a range of health needs," says Dr. Som Ghatak, Ph.D., Senior Director of R&D and Nutrition Science at MegaFood. "We deliberately paired fruiting body mushrooms with botanicals to deliver key benefits to consumers that are based on clinical research and studies."The new Superfood Mushroom Stress Relief™Ϯ product is supported by a gold standard clinical study.
