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.”

About AIDP, Inc.

AIDP is a leader in functional ingredients, with a focus on extensively researched products that meet consumer demand for wellness and healthy aging. Its commitment is to source high-quality ingredients and provide proprietary solutions that address formulation challenges. AIDP's success is grounded in its depth of experience and commitment to strong science. For more information contact us at customercare@aidp.com and visit www.aidp.com.
