Functional Mushrooms
Through our dedication to bringing inspiration and innovation to functional ingredients, we are excited to expand our previously botanic-focused portfolio with the addition of fungi.
Nordic Grown Organic Mushroom Extracts
For thousands of years, cultures around the world have embraced mushrooms for various health and healing applications, inspiring us to do the same. Mushrooms are some of the most incredible organisms on the planet, containing compounds both essential to the ecosystem and our health.

The Nordic Advantage
Finland has the cleanest air in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Because fungi are adept bioaccumulators and absorb even more from their environments than plants do, air quality is crucial for their health. This makes Finland one of the best locations in the world to grow and cultivate mushrooms, and where we are proud to source ours from.
