Stalker knew that mushrooms would play a part in the Olympics – but just wasn’t sure who would be using them, or how?
Turns out the mushrooms were being used by the equine competitors at the games.
A company from San Marcos in the US ,M2 Ingredients, develops and processes 10 species of medicinal mushrooms. These are then distributed as nutritional supplements and food additives for humans and animals. Its sister company, Matrixhealthwerks, offers several lines of products, including Pet Matrix, Mi Matrix and Equine Matrix — the latter which is currently being given to some horses in the Summer Games, according to the companies’ CEO, Dr. Sandra Carter.
Equine Matrix products were tested at a Paris-based FEI (Federation Equestre Internationale)-accredited laboratory and received the FEI Anti-Doping Certification.
So there you have it – mushrooms products for the pet in your life – if you want your cat or dog to go on and win medals for you. Moggy Olympics here we come - purrfect.
