NeonMind was inspired by the potential therapeutic effects of psychedelic mushrooms, which have been shown to increase sensory processing and brain connectivity characterized by increased synchronization of sensory brain regions, as found in a recent study called “Psilocybin induces time-dependent changes in global functional connectivity”, according to psypost.org.
The NeonMind name is meant to reflect that connectedness, by bringing together “Neon,” representing brilliance, brightness, and radiance with “Mind,” as our intellect, consciousness, power and soul.
NeonMind has filed a U.S. provisional patent application to protect intellectual property relating to the use of psychedelic mushrooms to activate the mind to achieve better body health, including:
-
losing weight;
-
reducing food cravings;
-
counteracting compulsive overeating;
-
improving quality of diet by empowering the mind to select lower calorie foods;
-
increasing metabolism;
-
treating diabetes;
-
regulating blood glucose; and
-
reducing susceptibility to cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and other illnesses associated with obesity.
The company is developing plans for clinical trials to further its research into potentially therapeutic benefits of compounds found in psychedelic mushrooms.
The company also intends to launch functional mushroom based products under the NeonMind brand, and has designed initial packaging concepts and filed trademark applications for NeonMind in Canada and the U.S. It aims to be a leader in the fast-growing functional foods market by offering high-quality mushroom-infused products that support immune, cognitive, memory and other brain functions.
