Company Summary
About
Silo Wellness is dedicated to expanding the mycelium-like network of mushroom awareness around the world.
SILO was founded in Oregon and has been in the psychedelics and functional mushroom space since 2018 and ultimately formulated and announced a patent-pending psilocybin nasal spray in Jamaica in 2019. This metered-dosing delivery modality was created for consumer microdosing to address some of the primary issues that may prevent many from trying natural psychedelics for the first time, including dose reliability, taste, stomach upset, and stigma. The nasal spray bypasses the digestive system by entering the bloodstream through the nasal membranes
In addition to its IP portfolio, SILO is focusing on consumer product and wellness center/retreat brand development for psychedelic and functional mushrooms. Its go-to-market revenue strategy includes scaling its United States Silo Reboot brand of functional mushrooms www.SiloReboot.com and its magic mushroom cultivation and psychedelic retreat operations in Jamaica www.SiloRetreats.com.
If the legalization of psilocybin is successful, Silo intends to offer psilocybin retreats in Oregon as well as pursue a clinical psilocybin-assisted counseling element with patients using the psilocybin nasal spray prior to sessions through either licensees or through Silo’s own branded psilocybin service centers.
Nasal Spray
Silo established a proof of concept of a psilocybin metered-dose nasal spray in Jamaica. The nasal spray bypasses the digestive system by entering the bloodstream through the nasal membranes offering more controlled and faster acting dosages.
Functional Mushrooms
Silo Wellness also offers a line of functional mushroom products. They use a triple extraction process to unlock maximum bioavailability. Their products contain no gluten, no GMO’s, no pesticides or herbicides. Mushrooms are certified wild crafted and/or organic!
Triple extraction process:
- Mushrooms are fermented, to make the polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and alkaloids more accessible.
- Next, we perform a hot water extraction, because polysaccharides are water soluble.
- Finally, 90 days in alcohol draws the non-polar triterpenoids out.
