Aloha Medicinals Launches Functional Mushroom Ingredients

Aloha Medicinals has launched a line of mushroom ingredients called FungiFuse, designed to help brands formulate products without compromising taste, color, or mouthfeel. The portfolio will be launched officially at IFT First, where attendees can visit booth 1476 to explore the new product line, sample applications, and meet experts from the company.

FungiFuse was developed to address challenges related to a clean sensory experience and manufacturing efficiency. The highly soluble, neutral-flavored ingredients blend into ready-to-drink beverages, functional shots, powdered drink mixes, bars, and dietary supplements.

The initial launch features:

• Focus, featuring lion’s mane, cordyceps, and chaga, to support mental clarity, cognitive performance, and concentration
• Energy, a blend of cordyceps, shiitake, and lion’s mane to promote clean, sustained energy and focus without the crash of traditional stimulants
• Daily, a seven-mushroom blend rich in beta-glucans to support immune function, overall wellness, and daily balance

“The mushroom category has grown rapidly over the past few years, but there have been challenges with taste, texture, and processing limitation of traditional mushroom ingredients,” said Tony Nguyen, vice president of sales. “FungiFuse solves those challenges and provides brands with solutions that are easy to formulate with and enjoyable to consume”

The new line of ingredients is available in organic and non-GMO options, utilizes DNA-verified mushroom ingredients, and contains no carriers or fillers. In addition to its core blends, Aloha offers custom formulations and single-strain mushroom ingredients to meet product development goals.
