Silo Wellness Inc., a leading global psychedelics company, recently announced the listing of its portfolio of Marley One branded mushroom products on multinational e-commerce conglomerate Amazon.

The October 12 Amazon listing follows the company’s inking of over US$4 million in international revenue-driving distribution deals, which cemented strong routes to market for the brand in both the US and the UK within just 60 days of launch.

“We’re celebrating an important milestone for Silo Wellness and for the mushroom industry at large,” said Douglas K Gordon, CEO, Silo Wellness. “From inception, our primary focus has been to broaden acceptance and support for the normalization of mushrooms and psychedelics and to make both available today, wherever possible, to help reduce trauma, enhance performance and create revenue in this burgeoning industry now. Our listing on Amazon, one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the world, takes us one step closer to that goal.”

To celebrate the launch of Marley One on Amazon a special code “SHROOMDAY20” is available until the end of the month.

The Marley One global mushroom brand was created by Silo Wellness in collaboration with the family of legendary musician Bob Marley and launched in June 2021. Silo Wellness is also a leading facilitator of psychedelic retreats in Jamaica, a jurisdiction where the cultivation, extraction, and consumption of psilocybin mushrooms is permissible. In 2019, the company announced proof of concept of a patent-pending psilocybin nasal spray.

In addition to its market-leading mushroom products, Silo Wellness conducts ketamine-assisted retreats in Oregon and recently expanded its psychedelic offerings to introduce five DMT (N, N-Dimethyltryptamine)-enhanced retreats across Jamaica.

“In addition to functional mushrooms, there is a wealth of valuable research being conducted on psychedelic compounds and their various properties and benefits,” continued Gordon. “Commercializing research of this nature requires time, precision and expertise, taking years to produce social impact. However, Silo Wellness is focused on generating psychedelic revenue now – and we see the widespread adoption of functional mushrooms as a crucial first step towards that goal. We’re thrilled to leverage Amazon’s massive distribution network to help bring the wellness benefits of functional mushrooms straight to consumer doorsteps.”

Amazon will distribute Marley One mushroom products, beginning with the functional mushroom tinctures, directly to consumers across the globe. Silo Wellness also intends to add additional functional mushroom products including gummies, capsules and cosmetics.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the global functional mushroom market was valued at USD 25,415.12 million in 2020, and is estimated to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.44 per cent during the forecast period of 2021-2026.

Mordor Intelligence also notes that functional mushrooms are expected to have increased applicability beyond healthcare or pharmaceutical products over the long term, particularly in the food and beverage sector.
