Canine Matrix customer_ HOW IT ALL BEGAN…      **_  _**  In 2010, our company founders brought 30 years of mushroom growing experience together with human health and wellness expertise to form Mushroom Matrix. With input from experts in both human & animal health and experimentation, the products for horses took shape and became Equine Matrix, the products for pets became Canine Matrix and people products became Om Mushrooms.  Our state-of-the-art indoor farm in Carlsbad, California, allows our 11 species of mushrooms to grow and flourish under carefully controlled conditions to deliver the best mushroom products available anywhere. Our mushrooms are Certified 100% Organic by Organic Certifiers in our Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facility, located in Carlsbad, California. Our medicinal, functional mushrooms give horses, dogs and cats many, if not all, of the same benefits that people have enjoyed for centuries in traditional, natural medicine. As research and practical experience lead us forward, Equine & Canine Matrix products continue to define what natural supplements for horses, pets and people can and should be. ## OUR QUALITY STANDARDS EXPLAINED – AND WHY IT MATTERS.  A LOT. Growing & Testing:  Our mushroom powders adhere to strict FDA standards and are produced in M2 Ingredients certified GMP facility, ensuring that each step is carefully controlled and documented. The exceptional quality is verified by third-party lab testing of each batch of our medicinal mushrooms. In fact, we DNA test each batch for an added layer of confidence that our mushroom powders are exactly what we say they are. Mushrooms are “bio-accumulators” meaning they can absorb and accumulate toxins or heavy metals if they are present during their growing stages. Our clean-room environment, organic process and strict testing ensures that our mushroom powders meet the highest standards of purity. Born, Raised & Packaged in Carlsbad, California:  All the mushrooms in our products are grown, processed and packaged at our Carlsbad, California facility, free from potential contamination that can occur in third party manufacturing facilities. No Chinese ingredients, no fillers, no flavorings, no sugars or molasses, no wheat, no corn, no soy, no additives, no gluten.  We keep a watchful eye on our products every step of the way to ensure you are getting the best mushroom powders money can buy.  **100% Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers.**     _Why are the mushrooms in Equine Matrix & Canine Matrix so good for animals?_ Agriculture, farming practices and soil amendments have changed tremendously in the last 100 years.  Many micro- & macro-nutrients that were once abundant in forages and grains may not be present at those levels in the hay and commercial feed products that most horses eat today.  Meat ingredients in pet foods may also be affected. So how can we help our animals to thrive in this changing environment? As animal owners, we spend a lot of time searching for the best quality hay, feeds and pet foods available.  Mushroom Matrix can be part of the solution to keep your horse or pet at his best.  Functional foods for people have received a tremendous amount of attention lately and for good reason.  Unlike synthetic supplements or pharmaceuticals, functional foods work WITH the body instead of ON the body.  Minimally processed, our mushroom powders are carefully grown, harvested, dried, milled and packed to retain the naturally occurring beta glucans, prebiotics, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes and other bio-active compounds that can boost your animals health and fill in some of these nutrient gaps in his diet. A great example is L-ergothioneine, or L-ergo for short, is considered a “master antioxidant” because it can concentrate in areas of the body with oxidative stress.  This amino acid is only created by mushrooms, fungi and mycobacteria in the soil. Plants can absorb it through the soil. Animals can’t make their own ergothioneine and have traditionally gotten this by eating plants or meat.  However, our modern farming practices have decreased the amount of healthy fungal communities in the soil, and therefore, L-ergo in the food chain.  Our mushroom powders are one of the best sources of this unique antioxidant.  Having traveled the world to discover our unique mushroom varieties, we’ve combined our extensive expertise with modern methodology to grow, dehydrate and mill these miraculous mushrooms in our state-of-the-art Certified 100% Organic and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facility in Carlsbad, California. Let your animals experience the power of our veterinarian recommended mushroom powders.
