UK-based global nootropics company Puresport has had its Reishi, Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane supplements certified by Informed Sport, the gold-standard independent certification body.
Puresport which created CBD pain relief products designed for drug-tested pro athletes has now developed functional mushroom products that are the first range of mushroom supplements ever to be certified by Informed Sport.
Informed Sport – a global quality assurance and supplement certification programme for sports supplements – provides products with a quality mark on product packaging, demonstrating to consumers that the products have been tested for more than 250 substances prohibited in sport.
Puresports’ products are separate single-strain, high-strength mushroom capsules.
Grayson Hart, a former international rugby player and founder of Puresport, said: “There is a very good reason humans have used mushrooms for medicinal and wellbeing purposes for centuries, with strong evidence of their use amongst some of the most advanced ancient civilisations in history.
“We’ve studied those ancient practices, tried and tested over hundreds of years, and married them to modern scientific techniques to create truly innovative, natural, safe, and effective wellness products designed for life. We’re firm believers that optimal health is for everybody.
“This is just the beginning. The potential of mushrooms to revolutionise the wellness market is astonishing. This is the future of wellness and Puresport is at the forefront of it.
“Puresport was founded on the principles of safe, natural, effective, wellness products through our CBD range that earned the trust of the most stringently tested athletes. However, whilst they were designed for athletes, they are suitable for all, and the same goes for our new mushroom range. We believe everybody should have access to the supplements that will support them in living their best possible life.
“The Informed Sport certification – the first of its kind – was an absolute must for Puresport, and a clear demonstration of our commitment to the highest standards in testing. There are no mushroom products out there that have been tested more. It’s all part of the confidence we want our customers to have in our products.
“We don’t want to simply provide products though, Puresport is about much more than that. We want to educate and advocate for the use of mushrooms in wellness, and be a place where members of our growing community and beyond.”
The Reishi, Cordyceps, and Lion’s Mane capsules complement Puresport’s existing use of mushrooms in its products, including Mushroom Complex, which contains Lion’s Mane.
Lion’s Mane and Chaga are also used in Puresport’s Boost Capsules, while the firm’s Trust Your Gut capsules make use of Reishi.
The brand’s use of mushrooms doesn’t stop there, with significant portions of sustainable packaging also derived from mycelium.
