Today’s Amazon listing follows the Company’s inking of over $4 million in international revenue-driving distribution deals, which cemented strong routes to market for the brand in both the U.S and the U.K within just 60 days of launch.

“Today, we’re celebrating an important milestone for Silo Wellness and for the mushroom industry at large,” said Douglas K Gordon, CEO, Silo Wellness. “From inception, our primary focus has been to broaden acceptance and support for the normalization of mushrooms and psychedelics and to make both available today, wherever possible, to help reduce trauma, enhance performance and create revenue in this burgeoning industry now. Our listing on Amazon, one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the world, takes us one step closer to that goal.”

To celebrate the launch of Marley One on Amazon and Mushroom Day on October 15, 2021, a special code “SHROOMDAY20” is available until the end of the month.

The Marley One global mushroom brand was created by Silo Wellness in collaboration with the family of legendary musician Bob Marley and launched in June 2021. Silo Wellness is also a leading facilitator of psychedelic retreats in Jamaica, a jurisdiction where the cultivation, extraction, and consumption of psilocybin mushrooms is permissible. In 2019, the Company announced proof of concept of a patent-pending psilocybin nasal spray. In addition to its market-leading mushroom products, Silo Wellness conducts ketamine-assisted retreats in Oregon and recently expanded its psychedelic offerings to introduce 5-MeO-DMT-enhanced retreats across Jamaica.

“In addition to functional mushrooms, there is a wealth of valuable research being conducted on psychedelic compounds and their various properties and benefits,” continued Mr. Gordon. “Commercializing research of this nature requires time, precision and expertise, taking years to produce social impact. However, Silo Wellness is focused on generating psychedelic revenue now – and we see the widespread adoption of functional mushrooms as a crucial first step towards that goal. We’re thrilled to leverage Amazon’s massive distribution network to help bring the wellness benefits of functional mushrooms straight to consumer doorsteps.”

Amazon will distribute Marley One mushroom products, beginning with the functional mushroom tinctures, directly to consumers across the globe. Silo Wellness also intends to add additional functional mushroom products including gummies, capsules and cosmetics.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the global functional mushroom market was valued at USD 25,415.12 million in 2020, and is estimated to register a CAGR of 8.44% during the forecast period of 2021-2026.

PharmaDrug’s Super Smart Launches Slim MycoWeRx Brand of Functional Mushrooms https://mjshareholders.com/pharmadrugs-super-smart-launches-slim-mycowerx-brand-of-functional-mushrooms/ Thu, 23 Sep 2021 17:05:44 +0000 https://www.cannabisfn.com/?p=2934659

Psychedelics


Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 23, 2021) – PharmaDrug Inc. (CSE: PHRX) (OTC Pink: LMLLF) (“PharmaDrug” or the “Company“) a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of controlled-substances and natural medicines such as psychedelics, cannabis and naturally-derived approved drugs, is pleased to announce that its Super Smart division is launching its own premium blend of functional mushrooms. MycoWe℞ Infinite will initially debut for sale in the United States before also being made available through Super Smart’s ecommerce platform in Europe. The first commercial lot of product has already been manufactured and the Company expects to start shipping orders mid-October.

MycoWe℞ Infinite will be positioned as a premium brand in a rapidly growing marketplace that is primarily occupied by high price, low potency functional mushroom products. Based on evolving consumer trends in the health supplements space, the Company understands that health-conscious individuals are often reluctant to take large numbers of pills, several times per day as part of their health regimen. For this reason, the Company’s initial product release has been formulated as a once a day complete 6 functional mushroom dose in one pill that does not compromise on the quantity of active ingredients. To accomplish this, high potency concentrates, prepared only from the mushroom fruit body are processed using an optimized hot water and/or hot water/alcohol extraction. Our approach compares favorably to many competing products that contain only mushroom mycelium (roots of the mushroom) which are often contaminated with the grain materials that are artificially grown on. The MycoWe℞ line only uses mushroom fruit bodies cultivated from a mushroom’s natural substrate to ensure maximum potency in every capsule.

The focus of the brand will be on product transparency and rigorously vetted research. Each MycoWe℞ package will contain a QR code that will link consumers to the corresponding Certificate of Analysis for their particular product lot as well as peer reviewed scientific literature that supports the product’s unique formulation. Information on the product can been seen by scrolling down on the homepage of the revamped U.S. site www.slimwinkel.com.

“We are extremely excited to be launching our new line of functional mushrooms,” Said Dr. Paul Van Slyke, Chief Scientific Officer of PharmaDrug. “I have personally been a mushroom forager and user for over 20 years. My desire has always been to seek products that are closest to what I can forage for myself in nature. Our ingredients and quantities will always be clearly defined on the label so that consumers can make the best, informed decisions about their health and wellness journey.”

Super Smart Update

Super Smart hired a Director of E-commerce in June and began working on an overhaul of the U.S. website in July while refining the Slim Winkel brand and message. In the meantime, the company has been building traffic, developing its social media network, and increasing its followers. The cornerstone of the revamped strategy will focus on the Slim MycoWe℞ brand but will also be augmented with researched and curated bundles from several suppliers to meet the suggested requirements of specific users. The Company has also been engaging influencers and micro influencers to champion both the Slim MycoWe℞ brand and the Slim Winkel website.

PharmaDrug’s executive team flew to The Netherlands to visit the current store in Tiel as well as several locations in both Amsterdam and Rotterdam in August. Management was able to visit over 30 stores, including several stores currently for sale. The conclusion was that the retail market is still under tremendous pressure. The cost of purchasing existing stores is prohibitive and the building of greenfield locations in a competitive environment is not economically viable, especially since the market is relatively small and not currently exhibiting any signs of significant growth.

Super Smart will continue with the European online effort and will undertake to overhaul the site and develop a strategy to reflect the distinct market within North America by adapting an e-commerce only model. In formulating this decision, management met with director of e-commerce candidates with direct European branding expertise. Future focus will be on a launch of a Slim psilocybin product for The Netherlands complemented by a functional mushroom offering in all of Europe including the Slim functional products once they are established in the United States.

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica, June 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silo Wellness Inc. (“ Silo Wellness ” or the “ Company ”) (CSE: SILO) (OTC: SILFF) (FRA: 3K70), a leading global psychedelics company, today announced the launch of Marley One, the first global functional and psychedelic mushroom consumer brand, in collaboration with the family of legendary musician Bob Marley. The initial product offering will include a range of functional mushroom tinctures with unique blends highlighting the brand’s connection to Jamaica, including species such as cordyceps, lion’s mane, chaga, reishi and turkey tail that offer a range of unique health and wellness benefits, from immunity and gut health to cognitive function and sleep enhancement. The Company intends to launch a psychedelic mushroom product line under the Marley name later this year, to be followed by additional functional mushroom products including gummies, capsules and cosmetics.

In March, Silo Wellness announced a multi-year licensing agreement with the family of global reggae icon Bob Marley for the exclusive worldwide rights to brand, market and sell a distinct product line of functional and psychedelic mushrooms.

“Today is a significant milestone for our company as we introduce the world to Marley One, a portfolio of branded mushroom products with instant name recognition and global visibility honoring Bob Marley’s legacy and connection to nature and plant-based wellbeing,” said Silo Wellness CEO Douglas K. Gordon.  “We are building what will become the world’s first global functional and psychedelic mushroom brand, guided by our vision to help people achieve healthier, more fulfilling lives and become the best versions of themselves.”

“We know Bob would be proud of what we’re building with Silo Wellness and the Marley One brand,” said Rita Marley. “Our family has always revered the ancient history and transformative potential of nature’s gifts.”

At launch, the Marley One product line includes:

  • One Mind : A coffee-flavored blend of lion’s mane and L-theanine designed to improve focus and cognitive function.
  • One Flow : A peppermint-flavored blend of cordyceps and ginseng designed to enhance physical endurance and mental function.
  • One Harmony : A mango-flavored blend of chaga and ginger designed to stimulate gut health and improve digestion.
  • One Body : A berry-flavored blend of turkey tail and astragalus designed to support immune health.
  • One Rest : A vanilla-flavored blend of reishi and GABA designed to help reduce tension and stress and improve quality of sleep.

Founded in 2018, Silo Wellness is a ‘spore-to-door’ vertically integrated company and the leading psilocybin cultivator and facilitator of psychedelic retreats in Jamaica, a jurisdiction where the cultivation, extraction, and consumption of psilocybin mushrooms is permissible. In 2019, the Company announced proof of concept of a patent-pending psilocybin nasal spray. In addition to its market-leading mushroom and psilocybin products, Silo Wellness conducts ketamine-assisted retreats in Oregon and recently expanded its psychedelic offerings to introduce 5-MeO-DMT-enhanced retreats across Jamaica.
