Nutraceutical ingredient manufacturer Bio-gen Extracts has teamed up with medicinal mushroom specialist Azoth Biotech to create efficacious functional mushroom extracts.

Together, the companies aim to advance the understanding of how functional mushrooms work, while characterising the bioactives that underpin their efficacy and developing novel formulations with targeted health benefits.
