Celebrating Mushroom Month featuring Four Sigmatic

Mushroom Month is a celebration of all things fungi, and in honor of that we're chatting with Four Sigmatic®, the original mushroom coffee and protein brand on a mission to bring more focus, energy, and calm into daily lives with the world's most nutrient dense ingredients. 

Tero Isokauppila, Founder and CEO, has roots that run deep in Finnish family farming and a diverse education in Chemistry, Business, and Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. Tero launched Four Sigmatic in 2012, combining ancestral wisdom and a passion for functional mushrooms. 

"We've been on a mission to bring the powerful, ancient benefits of mushrooms to America for more than 10 years and this month is the perfect opportunity to showcase them." 

Four Sigmatic’s mission is to infuse everyday favorites with functional mushrooms, helping millions find a renewed sense of focus, energy, balance, and general wellness. 

The company uses extracted, certified organic, rigorously tested mushrooms with no filler grains or mycelium to deliver effective mental performance benefits and overall well-being in a proven and delicious way.

Tero continues the conversation about functional mushrooms by listing the benefits and where to start with adding Four Sigmatic to your routine.
