AIDP has announced the addition of an extensive line of California-grown mushroom extracts, powders, and blends from Sempera Organics (Morgan Hill, CA) to its wide-ranging portfolio of nutraceutical ingredients.
Sempera Organics grows and processes 25 species and over 120 strains in a unique vertically integrated production facility. Understanding the consumer interest in both fungi and condition-specific support, Sempera has formulated unique researched blends called CORE, aimed at trending health conditions such as cognition, immunity, beauty from within, microbiome, performance, and mental wellness.
Mushrooms have been trending and are available in a wide range of products. Sempera Organic mushroom powders are available in multiple mesh sizes from coarse to fine, making them ideal for a variety of applications from capsules to gummies, softgels, beverages, functional foods, and powder formats. Sempera’s mushroom ingredients line will complement AIDP’s functional food ingredient portfolio of plant proteins, greens, and herbs. To learn more, stop by AIDP’s booth #200 at Supply Side East.
