M2 Ingredients

M2 Ingredients, Inc., established in 2010, is a prominent producer of certified 100% organic, whole food mushroom powders. These powders are recognized for their full spectrum of bioactive compounds that are beneficial for daily health, sports performance, recovery, and cognitive functions. The company prides itself on its unique strains of mushrooms, which have been selected based on extensive research highlighting their significant nutritional benefits. Each mushroom species cultivated by M2 Ingredients has distinct qualities that contribute to health and wellness. M2 Ingredients operates from its state-of-the-art indoor farm located in Carlsbad, California. This facility is where the company's cutting-edge innovation in product development takes place, supported by a team with extensive technical expertise and a proprietary growing methodology. The mushrooms are grown using Solid State Fermentation methods on certified organic, gluten-free, whole grain oats sourced from Canada. This process includes the cultivation of both mycelial biomass and fruit bodies, ensuring a comprehensive growth cycle. The company's growers are experts in their field, capable of determining the precise harvest time for each mushroom species to ensure peak bioactivity. Post-harvest, the mushrooms are air-dried at controlled temperatures specific to each species to maintain the integrity of temperature-sensitive active ingredients. M2 Ingredients exercises complete control over the growing, milling, and custom blending processes, ensuring traceability and transparency. Quality control is a top priority, and the company conducts DNA testing on each batch of mushroom powders to confirm their identity and integrity. Sustainability is also a core value at M2 Ingredients. The company maintains clean, organic growing conditions to provide a pure, contaminant-free environment. Their sustainable cultivation practices are not only beneficial for the mushrooms but also for the environment. In addition to their primary offerings, M2 Ingredients also has a consumer-packaged-goods brand, Om, which utilizes high-quality mushroom powders and proprietary formulas to create easy-to-consume, multi-factor wellness products. These products are distributed nationwide and are part of the company's omni-channel strategy. M2 Ingredients' award-winning mushroom powders have been incorporated into supplements and food products for both humans and animals across the globe, showcasing the company's commitment to delivering the highest quality products with proven health benefits.
