Market Restraints:

High cost of the functional mushroom is expected to limit its adoption among consumers. This is expected to hinder the market growth. Reishi mushroom and dried Cordyceps mushroom prices in the Asian market are about USD 51.65 and USD 2,152.41, respectively.

Every bottle of Rebbl is certified organic, soy and dairy-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, and made without cane sugar, carrageenan, thickeners, natural flavors, or agave.
