The digestive health market could reach $71.95 billion by 2027 with the rising awareness of gut health issues, says Fortune Business Insights. That could be incredibly beneficial for companies such as Psyched Wellness Ltd. (CSE:PSYC)(OTC:PSYCF), Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM), General Mills Inc. (NYSE:GIS), Nestle (OTC:NSRGY), and Danone (OTC:DANOY).
“Gut health goes far beyond solely digestive health, encompassing immunity support and weight management. Gut health refers to a well-balanced microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract and is shown to impact physical and mental wellbeing. Gut health is also related to numerous diseases, such as diabetes, obesity or autoimmune disease, and recent research even suggests an impact on mood due to the so-called gut-brain axis,” as reported by Euromonitor International. In addition according to Grand View Research, the market could be worth about $57.5 billion by 2025. “Rising inclination of consumers toward digestive food products due to their health benefits is also expected to boost the market growth,” they noted.
Psyched Wellness Just Initiated Next Pre-Clinical Trial Study on AME-1
Psyched Wellness Ltd.(CSE:PSYC)(OTC:PSYCF), a life sciences company focused on the production and distribution of artisanal functional and psychedelic mushrooms, is pleased to announce that the company and its CRO partner, KGK Science, has commenced the next preclinical trial study with AME-1.
This new study is a 14-day oral toxicity study of AME-1. It will provide the level of dose(s) that will be selected and administered for a subsequent long term 90-day oral toxicity study. The importance of this study is to determine dose-dependent effects along with determining the highest dose that is safe to use for a longer-term study. This is another key milestone in the further understanding of the effects of Psyched Welness’ AME-1 extract under a scientific methodology in pursuit of a safe dose for human consumption.
“This represents another milestone event in the scientific study of AME-1. The results of this study will further increase the knowledge and further identify the physical and chemical properties of AME-1,” says Brian Tancowny, scientific advisor for Psyched Wellness.
"The pre-clinical trial we are currently conducting is part of a number of smaller studies that need to happen in a specific order and, when completed, will combine to provide the foundation off of which our future products will be developed,” says Jeff Stevens, CEO. “As we embark on a new study or complete a study, we add significant value to the Company as we are pioneering a path to market for AME-1 derived health and wellness products.”
