How this started
As a child, I was sick. Asthma, allergies, poor stamina. Sport and acupuncture were the two things that lifted me up. At 20, I came across Traditional Chinese Medicine. Years later I moved to China to study under a professor of acupuncture. I earned my doctorate in 2018.
Aloha Fungi began in my acupuncture practice. My first customers were my patients. The first product, ENERGIA, came to life through a pre-sale: 100 people trusted me before I had produced anything.
I spent two years, and took out a few loans, to find the best mushroom suppliers in China. No middlemen, no European distributors. Directly. Because the difference between a fruiting-body extract and rice-grown mycelium is the difference between quality and marketing.
