Space Tea, the world’s first adaptogenic mushroom drink, is now available in four assorted flavors.

LOS ANGELES, April 26, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Space Tea is proud to announce the world’s first adaptogenic mushroom iced tea and lemonade beverage with four flavors—Original, Mango, Lemon Zero, Matcha Zero—now available at The Vitamin Shoppe locations nationwide. Space Tea is certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher, using Reishi mushrooms and Lion’s Mane mushrooms. 

“The Vitamin Shoppe and Space Tea have partnered to roll out Space Tea, the world’s first mushroom tea and lemonade beverage,” co-founder & CEO Gabriel Heymann said. “It is a refreshing and classic blend of iced tea and lemonade with a new twist: brewed with non-psychoactive functional Reishi mushrooms and Lion’s Mane mushrooms for uplifting energy, calm focus, and mood-boosting.”   

According to tamimteas.com, functional mushrooms with Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Chaga have been used as natural remedies to soothe and heal the body for centuries, supporting digestion, energy, the immune system, mental clarity, mood, relaxation, and sleep. Adaptogens are herbs that can help the body’s stress response systems and improve the ability to adapt and restore after stress exposure. 

“Space Tea is full of high-quality ingredients used for centuries to promote focus and mental clarity,” Heymann said. “Our latest expansion enables more people to experience the potential benefits of Reishi and Lion’s Mane mushroom in an amazing-tasting beverage format, and we are proud to lead the industry in this way.” 

According to Research and Markets, the size of the global functional beverage market was estimated at $147 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $208 billion in 2027. 

Grand View Research has found that the global functional mushroom market reached sales of $26 billion in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.8% being predicted between 2022 and 2030 attributed to the growing popularity of functional mushrooms that can be found in a variety of healthcare and pharmaceutical products. 

Space Tea’s partnership with The Vitamin Shoppe follows a successful Space Tea launch over 390 Sprouts Farmers Market locations, one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country.  

Launched in August 2021, Space Tea quickly became a bestseller garnering a substantial following across Southern California. It is also available at Bristol Farms, Earthbar, Erewhon Market, Lazy Acres, Mother’s Market and Sun Life.

Brux Night Guard’s small, unique design was named Best for Minimalists by the Verywell Health panel of dental professionals

BNG\u00ae Brux Night Guard
BNG\u00ae Brux Night Guard

LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
BNG^® Brux Night Guard’s (www.BruxNightGuard.com) revolutionary design that is smaller than most dental guards and moldable by the consumer was named one of the Best Night Guards for Grinding Teeth of 2023 by Verywell Health.

Brux Night Guard was chosen as the “Best Night Guard for Minimalists” because of its small design that only covers the front teeth, instead of all the teeth like traditional night guards.

Brux is honored to be recognized as a leader in the field of teeth grinding night guards by such a well-read and respected publication like Verywell Health.

Their editorial process includes testing products at the Verywell Testing Lab, at-home tests, and utilizing a network of board-certified physicians on their Health Medical Expert Board with evidence-based research and fact-checkers to determine the best night guards for grinding teeth and other health products.

After years of trying night guards that were either too hard or too soft, too expensive, and so large they caused a gag reflex, the team at Brux consulted with dentists and designers to put their favorite features into one compact design that has finally helped the team overcome their own bruxism symptoms. Complete mouth guard molding instructions are available on the website.

About Brux Night Guard

BNG^® Brux Night Guard was founded in 2016 to provide a more convenient and cost-effective solution for teeth grinding and clenching caused by bruxism. Brux is made in the USA for teeth grinders by teeth grinders who struggled for years with jaw pain and headaches until designing this unique nighttime mouth guard for teeth grinding.
