Jeff Chilton, raised in the pacific north-west, studied ethno-mycology in the late 1960s. In 1989 he founded Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the nutritional supplement industry in the United States. Nammex extracts are used by many supplement companies and are noted for their high quality based on scientific analysis of the active compounds.
