Have you seen a demand shift going from more single ingredient mushroom products to blends containing multiple mushrooms, and can you talk to me about the benefits of those blends?
Yes, recently, you know, like our customers, at the beginning they would buy single mushrooms and then they start to buy at the same time they buy blend of mushrooms.
And after 1 or 2 years, you can sell the branding mushroom, the sale goes, just goes so quick, increase a lot.
That means more and more customers, they want to thinking for the comprehensive health solution from one product.
So, we think about brand several mushrooms, get all the benefits from these mushrooms.
For example, if we brand rishi, that's the, the stress reducing and according give you energy and chaga antioxidant and the linesman help you your memory focus on how people it's very easy to take one product gets all the benefits for from all these multiple mushrooms.
OK, so multi-health formulas in that sense with these blends, right?
OK, and I'm also curious because I heard that you recently launched an extraction production line and freeze drying.

Yes, by some, , continuous current counter exchange line and a frozen action line.
This is will be sequencing improved the active compound has the proper concentrated.
So this is quite good for the quality and keep the active compounds, you know.
And for the frozen, frozen drying, because compare the traditional spray drying, this frozen drying can see advance the quality, the active compounds and also has a better solution, better solubrility, you know.

Yes, you know, the balancing for the efficacy and.
Testing is quite challenging, I think, because some functional mushroom like rashi, it's a big test, you know.
So, some people may think, oh, it's so hard to take such a bitter functional mushrooms.
So, then we need to add some, you know, other herbs or sweetens.
So recently, some brand is with the herbs or sweeteners in coffee or gummys, let you.
Has better test, you know, and, this branding also, you know, if you want to take several mushrooms single, maybe the dosage is certain, but if you branding them, maybe you need the, you know, if you have taken the overpoing of the, the mushrooms, so it's a key, innovation technology to see which formula is the best for people.
