According to Grandview Research, “Increasing healthcare costs, growing geriatric population, food
innovations, changing lifestyle, and medical discoveries have benefitted the
demand for superfoods and consequently the overall market growth. Ascending
demand for natural, nutrient-rich food containing vitamins and essential
minerals is further boosting the market for superfoods. Growing concerns in the
U.S. regarding obesity and overall health are also contributing to the market
growth.”
Seeing the huge opportunity in front of them, Rritual Superfoods
Inc. ( CSE:RSF), a premium brand in the emerging superfood company market just completed its IPO and listed on TheCSE.com to benefit from investor’s appetite for health
and wellness stocks.
Rritual produces simple mushroom adaptogen products with
limited, yet very purposeful and organic ingredients. Most of all, Rritual
wants to help people adapt to the strain of modern life and prove that
mushrooms and many adaptogenic herbs truly are the world’s greatest superfoods.
Rritual’s suite of premium functional mushroom and adaptogenic elixirs is
designed for modern wellness to offer various health benefits, such as
increased immunity, cognitive function, stress management and more.
Backing up Rritual’s vision for the future trends, Whole Foods looked at ‘The Next Big Things: Top 10 Food
Trends for 2021’ with functional foods and adaptogens
as a top food trend for 2021.
A recent study published by Transparency Market
Research on the adaptogens market includes global industry analysis
and opportunity assessment for 2020-2030. Revenue generated from the global
adaptogens market is expected to be ~US$ 10.3 Bn in 2020, which is estimated to
expand at a CAGR of ~6.8%, to reach US$ 23.4 Bn by 2030.
The Company recently
announced that its Reishi adaptogen elixir
placed second within the Whole Body & Mind Wellness category at the annual
ERCM Buyer's Choice Awards.
Rritual
was selected among dozens of consumer brands in the wellness space by leading
retail buyers, including CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Amazon, Rite Aid and other
national outlets. During this year's virtual event, retailers cited Rritual's
inviting and attractive packaging as well as the brand's expanding market share
in the increasingly popular functional mushrooms category, as their primary
reasons for selecting the brand for the award.
Retail
buyers at the event virtually cast their votes based on product packaging and
innovation. This year's ERCM Buyer's Choice winners reflected the rising demand
for products that help relax both the body and mind in this particularly
stressful year.
"Rritual's
performance at the ERCM Buyer's Choice Awards was not only a vote of confidence
for the long-term potential of our product line but also a clear indication
that there is strong demand for high-quality and accessible mushroom products
among mainstream consumers and retailers alike," said David Kerbel, CEO of
Rritual. "Our team looks forward to continue building valuable
relationships in the retail space and is thrilled to showcase the benefits of
plant-based therapies to new audiences.”
Earlier this year, Rritual announced its forthcoming line of
easy-to-mix adaptogenic elixirs formulated to optimize physical and mental
function. The brand's three product offerings, including Reishi Relax, Chaga
Immune and Lion's Mane Focus contain beneficial bioactive compounds and
metabolites that can be easily incorporated in a daily wellness routine.
The Company is being led by CEO
David Kerbel, who has over 30 years of senior experience in retail, brokerage
and the CPG industries. During his experience in these sectors, he built strong
relationships with some industry leaders including Walmart, Costco, Kroger,
Walgreens, CVS, 7-11, Safeway, Publix, Sprouts and others.
While at Celsius
Beverages (NASDAQ: CELH), a
lifestyle fitness drink and a pioneer in the rapidly growing performance energy

achieved nationwide distribution at 7-11 retail outlets (corporate and

distributes and sells a variety of plant-based meat and other food
alternatives, recently announced new
retail distribution with Quality Foods owned by the Jim Pattison Group; and
additional distribution points with Sobeys Inc. through its Safeway retail
network. These partnerships are a result of VERY's efforts to scale
distribution in line with production capacity.
The company also announced that it
has completed the acquisition of The Cultured Nut Inc., a highly popular
artisan vegan cheese producer on the West Coast of Canada ("Cultured
Nut"), with current sales distribution in several online and grocery
retailers including select Whole Foods stores..
You can’t talk about the superfood trend
without mentioning Beyond Meat Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND), a
company that has revolutionized consumer food trends and convinced avid meat
eaters to eat a Beyond burger and made investors wealthy with an IPO at $25.00
in May, opened at $46 the next day and has had an all–time high of $221.
Their meatless products are now sold
in over approximately 122,000 retail and foodservice outlets in over 80

protein plus 9 naturally occurring essential amino acids. It has no rice or pea
protein, or preservatives.
“We set out to create an effective
plant-based protein powder that is easier on the digestive system than the ones
currently in the market," said Paul Hodge, CEO and co-founder of Laird
Superfood. "At the same time, we wanted to develop a plant-based protein
powder that has all nine essential aminos that our bodies don't produce, so we
got to work on a product that we believe is the ultimate plant-based protein -
made from a blend of seed proteins and functional mushrooms. It's a perfect,
complementary addition to Laird Superfood's line-up of plant-based coffee
creamers, hydration products, beverage enhancing supplements, roasted and
instant coffees, teas and hot chocolate, and harvest snacks."

native to North America, Europe and Asia. It has been traditionally used in

Showing
the consumer demand and growth in the sector, PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA) (OTC Pink: PLTXF) announced in mid-
February that it achieved record monthly gross revenue of $1,089,502 for the
month of January 2021. Cost of Goods Sold were $751,356 for the same month.
From
the news: For the month of December 2020 and during the highly dynamic holiday
season, the Company achieved gross revenue of $1,029,883. This was surpassed by
January 2021's revenue, which exceeded management's expectations given that
e-commerce sales were expected to be slower following the holiday season. This
success during one of the slowest e-commerce periods of the year highlights the
tremendous impact the Company continues to have in the plant-based marketplace.
The Company's growth continues to be driven by its marketing and branding
efforts, as well as the Company's innovative partnerships. The strong sales
figures reflect PlantX's values-driven approach to successfully meeting
consumer demand.
"It
is truly encouraging to achieve yet another incredible revenue milestone and to
start the new year with such vigor and success," said PlantX CEO Julia
Frank. "There are many other colourful growth opportunities on the
horizon, and we're confident that our financial trajectory will reflect the
remarkable and increasing value our Company brings to the plant-based
industry."
As COVID-19 cases continue globally,
more consumers are looking to superfoods for their future diets. Plant based
superfoods offer consumers a natural way to support wellness, and with the
performance of the stocks in the sector, have also added a little green to their
wallets.
This billion dollar opportunity of functional
foods and superfoods has consumers and investors hungry for the next generation
of health and wellness innovation. Companies like Rritual Superfoods Inc. ( CSE:RSF) are aiming high, “guided by a single purpose:
to help each and everyone meet the demands of modern life with style and ease
through mushroom adaptogens.”
