There are numerous mushroom ingredients on the market, but discerning health-conscious consumers place their trust in functional mushrooms that are rooted in science and superior quality.

Maypro’s exclusive functional mushrooms have earned name recognition and trust and have set the gold standard.

A High-Growth Category Rooted in Science

In an industry where double-digit growth is rare, functional mushrooms stand out. According to Grand View Research (2024), the global functional mushroom market is projected to grow at an impressive 11.2% CAGR through 2030. Functional mushrooms have firmly established themselves alongside probiotics and adaptogens as top-tier wellness ingredients. In 2024, mushroom-based supplement sales grew more than 20% year-over-year.

This momentum reflects a broader consumer shift toward natural, science-backed solutions for gut and immune health, cognitive function, physical performance, and general wellness. Functional mushrooms are also gaining traction in categories like metabolic support, immune support, cardiovascular health, performance and beauty-from-within.
