MegaFood, a leader in the supplement industry and a certified B Corporation, has announced the launch of its first plant-powered mushroom supplement line. Known for their commitment to crafting supplements made with real food, MegaFood’s new Superfood Mushroom line is designed to support focus, immune health, energy, and stress relief through formulations backed by clinical research.
The launch marks a significant development for MegaFood as the company continues to innovate with products that combine traditional botanical knowledge with modern science. The new Superfood Mushroom supplements are doctor-formulated and feature 100% fruiting body mushrooms, which studies show are more potent than the commonly used mycelium on grain fillers.
New Product Line Highlights MegaFood’s Commitment to Science and Quality
MegaFood’s new supplement line introduces four distinct products aimed at addressing specific health needs: focus, immune health, energy, and stress relief. Each product is built around the benefits of fruiting body mushrooms, which are known to contain higher levels of beta-glucans compared to mycelium, offering a more concentrated source of these beneficial compounds.
The mushrooms used in MegaFood’s supplements are organically grown in controlled greenhouse environments, where conditions such as fresh air and ambient temperatures are carefully maintained to mimic their natural habitats. This approach ensures that the mushrooms retain their full potency and are free from contaminants.
“We are excited to introduce our new line of Superfood Mushroom supplements, which are designed to provide targeted health benefits based on the latest clinical research,” said Dr. Som Ghatak, Ph.D., Senior Director of R&D and Nutrition Science at MegaFood. “By using fruiting body mushrooms combined with clinically studied botanicals, we’re delivering products that meet the highest standards of efficacy and quality.”
MegaFood’s Stress Relief Supplement Backed by Groundbreaking Clinical Study
One of the key products in the new line is the Superfood Mushroom Stress Relief™ supplement. This product is supported by a landmark clinical study, the first of its kind, which investigated the effects of combining Reishi mushroom with Ashwagandha in a randomized, double-blind format. The study’s findings revealed that MegaFood’s Stress Relief supplement significantly reduced stress in participants within six weeks.
The clinical trial underscores MegaFood’s dedication to scientific validation, setting the company apart in an increasingly crowded supplement market. The study’s results also establish the Superfood Mushroom Stress Relief™ as the first and only dietary supplement mushroom product that has been clinically tested for stress relief.
“We’re thrilled with the results of this gold standard clinical study, which is the largest randomized double-blind study ever conducted on the effects of Reishi mushroom,” said Matt Smith, VP of Marketing at MegaFood. “These findings highlight our commitment to rigorous science and product innovation, further positioning MegaFood as a leader in the science-backed supplements space.”
MegaFood Upholds Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing
In addition to its focus on scientific backing, MegaFood maintains a strong commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing. As a certified B Corporation and a member of 1% for the Planet, MegaFood prioritizes environmentally responsible practices in all aspects of its business. The organic mushrooms used in the Superfood Mushroom line are grown on natural substrates, ensuring that the products are not only effective but also align with the company’s environmental values.
“Our new Superfood Mushroom line represents the best of MegaFood: a commitment to real food, rigorous science, and sustainable practices,” added Dr. Ghatak. “We’re proud to offer these supplements to consumers who are looking for trusted, effective solutions to support their health.”
