LEADING THE FUTURE OF FUNCTIONAL MUSHROOMS.
About us
In 2010, with a shared vision and a commitment to excellence, Steve Farrar and Dr. Sandra Carter founded M2 Ingredients. They recognized the potential of functional mushrooms to support human health and well-being but also understood the need for innovation and scientific rigor. The M2 Difference: Full Spectrum Mushroom Powders Why Full Spectrum Matters: The Full Life Cycle Effects: The combination of bioactive compounds from both mycelium and fruiting body provides the full spectrum of benefits that the mushrooms have to offer, enhancing their overall functional benefits. Comprehensive benefits of whole food mushrooms: By utilizing the entire organism, full-spectrum powders offer a more complete source of bioactive compounds and nutrients. Nothing is added and nothing is taken away to provide all the benefits that mushrooms have to offer. Fully Vertically Integrated M2’s commitment to excellence begins with its cultivation process. Mushrooms are grown in California on certified organic oats, allowing the mycelium to fully colonize the oats until fruiting bodies are produced. When the mushrooms are mature, they are harvested to include both the mycelium and the fruiting body. This unique approach yields full-spectrum mushroom powders rich in bioactive compounds, providing a more comprehensive source of functional benefits compared to extracts or powders using solely the fruiting body or the mycelium alone. To preserve the functional benefits of the ingredients, the mushrooms are carefully dried and processed within M2 Ingredients BRCGS AA+ rated facility. This ensures minimal handling from the growing to the processing to deliver the highest quality mushroom powders to customers.

🔬 🍄🟫 Groundbreaking New Science Highlights M2's Patented Mushroom Powders as Powerful Allies for Gut Health and the Gut-Brain Axis Exciting new research presented at the prestigious International Conference on the Science of Botanicals this week - showcases the remarkable potential of M2's patented whole mushroom powders in promoting gut health. Our very own Chief Science Officer, Dr. Julie Daoust, unveiled cutting-edge clinical findings demonstrating the significant prebiotic activity of these innovative powders. This pioneering work from leading institutions firmly establishes M2's unique mushroom formulations as powerful actors in nurturing a healthy gut microbiome. The research further illuminates the critical link between gut health and cognitive function through the activation of short-chain fatty acids, key metabolites known to influence the gut-brain axis. In a landscape where a false dichotomy often exists between rigorous clinical science and the power of botanical solutions, M2, along with many of our esteemed colleagues also presenting this week, is working to bridge this gap. Our latest research underscores the harmonious co-existence of science and botanicals, validating the efficacy of functional mushrooms through robust scientific investigation. This exciting development reinforces the role of functional mushrooms as a valuable component of an integrative medicine model. Founded by preventative medicine expert Dr. Sandra Carter, M2 is committed to harnessing the power of nature, backed by scientific rigor, to offer impactful solutions for well-being.

🍄 NEW BLOG : THE MAGIC OF MUSHROOM DIGESTION 🍄 Think about how yeast transforms sugar into the beneficial compounds in kombucha or how cultures create the tang in yogurt. Our amazing mushrooms employ a similar process! 🌱 In our cultivation, we use oats as a nutrient-rich substrate that our mushrooms fully consume. This isn't just about growth; it's about the mushrooms (in their mycelial stage) actively breaking down the oats and creating a wealth of powerful, active compounds. These incredible compounds are present throughout the entire organism – both in the mycelium and the fruiting body. That's the power behind our whole mushroom/full-spectrum powders. You're not just getting one part of the mushroom; you're benefiting from the complete life cycle, packed with the diverse array of active compounds created as the mushroom transforms its nutrient source. Rest assured, the oats are fully utilized in this process and are not present in our final product. Want to learn more about how our unique growing process leads to such potent and effective mushroom supplements? ➡️ Read the full blog post on our website: https://lnkd.in/eFGixzip #wholemushroom #fullspectrum #mushrooms #mycelium #fungi #activecompounds #ingredientscience #healthandwellness #nutrition #m2ingredients #sustainablefarming #mushroomcultivation #oatsfree #bioactivecompounds #kombuchacomparison
