Om Mushroom Superfood, designed to promote health, wellness and longevity is the brainchild of health wellness and integrative medicine enthusiast Sandra Carter, M.A., MPH, Ph.D. and mycologist Steve Farrar.Sandra spent over 30 years in the wellness profession as a researcher, and specialist in community, corporate and hospital disease prevention programs. She was introduced to Farrar who had spent 30 years growing mushrooms and who had recently developed a unique technology for producing a variety of powerful mushroom strains in an organic, clean room facility. As Carter began researching the benefits of the mushroom varieties, she realized there was a significant market potential for certified organic made in the USA medicinal mushroom products. These types of extremely powerful mushrooms such as Cordyceps, Reishi, Lion's Mane and others are virtually unknown in Western Cultures – and yet are highly revered in Asian medicine.For thousands of years in Eastern Cultures, mushrooms have been recognized for their ability to optimize immune health, and are accepted as adjunct therapy for serious health conditions. Steve Farrar and Sandra Carter both saw a window of opportunity to increase awareness in Western Cultures about the benefits of mushrooms through the development of an innovative line of whole-food organic powders that can be easily added to your everyday eating routine. Today, each of the species used in Om's certified organic mushroom powders are produced in the company's Carlsbad, California facility. They include the full life-cycle of the mushrooms species, capturing nature's incredible bioactivity in a fascinating growing process. Om takes pride in introducing their line of nutritious, easy to use innovative products and spread the experience of the benefits of the Mighty, Magnificent Mushroom!
