(natural psilocybin from mycelium)
Medical innovation through natural fungi is nothing new. In fact, fungi have been pharmaceutically prolific in modern medicine from the antibiotic instrumental across the world – penicillin, to the cancer medication taxol. Psilocybin has the potential to be the next great pharmaceutical breakthrough in the war on mental health.
Fungi’s metabolic ingenuity provides ample opportunity to tackle today’s biggest healthcare challenges.
Translating Nature into Medicine
Mycelium is often labelled as the roots of a mushroom when in reality they’re more like the tree itself with mushrooms as its fruit. We are focused on mycological research, understanding not just the psilocybin producing mushrooms but also the cultivation of mycelium. Our patent-pending process makes use of bioreactors to produce consistent quality and scalable quantities of fungi mycelia.
Albert Labs’ research laboratories have licences to produce, distribute and sell product to the international market. Using patent-pending technology Albert Labs produce precision natural medicines to treat mental health.
The Unexplored Wonder of the World
History has shown that fungi have played a fundamental role to all life on earth. With the oldest evidence of mycelium dating back 2.4bn years ago, 2bn years before animals walked the earth. [5] In the science community, it is well considered that despite their importance to life’s evolution itself, fungi are still one of the most unexplored wonders of the biological world. World-renowned biologist Merlin Sheldrake goes as far to say “The more we learn about fungi, the less the world makes sense without them.” Fungi’s role in nature doesn’t just date back millennia it is instrumental to life today, from yeast to make bread and beer, to natural pesticides and antibiotic medicines.
The ability for mycelium to prosper in this way comes down to their diverse metabolic abilities. Think of metabolism as the art of chemical transformation.
It is this ingenuity that Albert Labs are leveraging to discover new drugs [6]
