Medicinal Mushroom Research & Development

NAMMEX specializes in medicinal mushrooms. This focus has enabled the company to allocate resources to a vigorous program of research and development. The results of this program are a set of analytical protocols that have allowed the standardization of our medicinal mushroom extracts.

NAMMEX alone has invested the money to achieve this level of testing. We are proud of this leadership role and can assure our customers that we will continue to develop the tests necessary to guarantee that NAMMEX extracts are the best available anywhere.
