Subsidiaries
Sansero Life Sciences
Sansero Life Sciences develops novel psilocybin-based drugs for the treatment of mental health and other conditions. We are currently engaged in pre-clinical research to prepare for testing our pharmaceutical drug candidates in clinical trials. These drugs have the potential to replace current antidepressants and ADHD medications by treating the complete neurological pathway, while significantly reducing negative side effects.
A Good Mushroom
A Good Mushroom is built to advocate for the diverse health and wellness benefits of functional mushrooms, the subset of mushroom species known to actively support health. We’ve opened Canada’s first mushroom-focused adaptogen store, which offers everything from tinctures to educational materials and follows a food-is-medicine philosophy with special emphasis on culinary enjoyment. A Good Mushroom also acts as a community hub for those interested in mycology.
