Psyched wellness
initiates study on AMe-1
extract for gut health
Toronto,
Ontario, Canada -- March 30, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Psyched
Wellness Ltd. (CSE:PSYC,
OTCQB:PSYCF, FRANKFURT:5U9) (the "Company"
or "Psyched")
a life sciences company focused on the production and distribution
of artisanal functional and psychedelic mushrooms,
is pleased to
announce the company has signed an additional agreement with its
CRO partner, KGK Science to further study the anti-inflammatory
nature of AME-1.
KGK Science
specializes in nutraceutical product testing and development and is
leading the pre-clinical trials for Psyched. This new agreement
will further advance the preliminary findings indicating an
anti-inflammatory property of the AME-1 extract. This study will be
the first to further explore the anti-inflammatory nature of the
AME-1 extract from the Amanita Muscaria mushroom with a particular
focus on gut health. When gut health is damaged, it can
lead to
inflammation thus promoting a chronic condition of the gut lining
and impairment of barrier function of the digestive tract. The aim
of the study is to explore the anti-inflammatory properties of
AME-1 extract and demonstrate activities that may enhance digestive
barrier function and immunity. This is significant as gut health
and immunity promotion is substantial for health and
wellness.
"This is a key first step in the
health and wellness studies of AME-1, which lay the groundwork for
future preclinical research," said Brian Tancowny, scientific
advisor to Psyched Wellness
