VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2021 / NeutriSci International Inc. ('NeutriSci' or the 'Company') (TSXV:NU)(OTCQB:NRXCF)(FSE:1N9), an innovative technology company developing products for the nutraceutical industry, is pleased to announce that is has successfully completed the R&D of a newly developed effervescent functional mushroom tablet product for online sales in Europe and North America.

The new product line will consist of Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, Tremelle, and Turkey Tail mushrooms while containing a proprietary blend of CBD, CBN and or CBG; designed to complement the already potent health benefits of functional mushrooms. Packaging for the product is currently being finalized; designed around several flavor profiles, including citrus and berry.

Functional mushrooms are packed with antioxidants and nutritional value. They are widely consumed due to their medicinal properties and superfood benefits. Furthermore, increasing acceptability of mushroom for medicinal properties is boosting the sales and profit of the players currently operating in the market, which in turn, is expected to further drive the market growth for functional mushrooms.

The global functional mushroom market was valued at USD $2.5 billion in 2020, and it is estimated to register a CAGR of 8.44% during the forecast period 2021-2026 with sales exceeding $16 billion by 2026.

Mushrooms that support immune health have benefited since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with high interest from food, beverage, and nutritional supplement manufacturers, which has carried over to the entire mushroom category.

Cannabinoids such as CBN are known for their 'sleepiness effect.' When taken, it is shown to induce drowsiness. Sleep problems are widespread in modern society. According to the Center for Disease Control, one in three adults do not get enough sleep. Sleep-deprived individuals are more likely to suffer from the most damaging health problems of the modern world, including coronary heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.

The global sleeping aids market generated a revenue of US$78.7 billion in 2019 and is predicted to progress at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2020 to 2030 to attain a value of US$162.5 billion by 2030.

Furthermore, the increasing working hours, high workload and work pressure, and hectic work environment massively push up the stress levels and affect the quality of sleep. This subsequently boosts the sales of over-the-counter sleeping pills, which help improve the quality of sleep, throughout the globe.

Glen Rehman, CEO of NeutriSci, commented, 'This completed advancement and development of an effervescent tablet for the functional mushroom market gives us access to a market segment that is slated to grow exponentially over the coming months and years. We have identified this growth opportunity as one that is on the verge of achieving significant gains in the health sector. We are excited to see where the future opportunities take us.'
