M2 Ingredients

2.0 Glassdoor

In 2010, with a shared vision and a commitment to excellence, Steve Farrar and Dr. Sandra Carter founded M2 Ingredients. They recognized the potential of functional mushrooms to support human health and well-being but also understood the need for innovation and scientific rigor.The M2 Difference: Full Spectrum Mushroom Powders Why Full Spectrum Matters: The Full Life Cycle Effects: The combination of bioactive compounds from both mycelium and fruiting body provides the full spectrum of benefits that the mushrooms have to offer, enhancing their overall functional benefits. Comprehensive benefits of whole food mushrooms: By utilizing the entire organism, full-spectrum powders offer a more complete source of bioactive compounds and nutrients. Nothing is added and nothing is taken away to provide all the benefits that mushrooms have to offer. Fully Vertically IntegratedM2’s commitment to excellence begins with its cultivation process. Mushrooms are grown in California on certified organic oats, allowing the mycelium to fully colonize the oats until fruiting bodies are produced. When the mushrooms are mature, they are harvested to include both the mycelium and the fruiting body. This unique approach yields full-spectrum mushroom powders rich in bioactive compounds, providing a more comprehensive source of functional benefits compared to extracts or powders using solely the fruiting body or the mycelium alone. To preserve the functional benefits of the ingredients, the mushrooms are carefully dried and processed within M2 Ingredients BRCGS AA+ rated facility. This ensures minimal handling from the growing to the processing to deliver the highest quality mushroom powders to customers.
