“Reaching this significant achievement enables us to guarantee the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of our innovative tryptamine-based formulations when they are ready for market release. At present, navigating the landscape of tryptamine-based products presents numerous challenges, including locating suppliers capable of meeting the stringent commercial and quality criteria necessary for pharmaceutical-grade products. Additionally, the associated complexities in the authorization process, substantial expenses, and intricate logistics further compound these challenges. By possessing the capacity to manufacture our own APIs while adhering to pharmaceutical-grade quality standards, we significantly mitigate the risk of supply shortages, positioning ourselves as an ideal partner within the traditional pharmaceutical sector”, commented Alejandro Antalich, CEO of Biomind Labs.
