Odyssey’s beverages are crafted with adaptogenic elements such as lion’s mane and cordyceps mushrooms, engineered to provide an energy uplift while enhancing cognitive clarity, focus, and mood.
Odyssey intends to utilize the recently obtained capital to bolster three vital areas during its swift expansion: sales, marketing, and inventory. These investments are anticipated to accelerate the brand’s growth, enhancing accessibility to its products on a broader scale.
Scott Frohman, Founder and CEO of Odyssey, stated, “Unlike other brands on the market, we’ve formulated Odyssey to support cognitive energy and prioritise aspects like focus, clarity and mood through a proprietary functional mushroom-based formula. Odyssey leverages the high potency extract of Lions Mane, Cordyceps, L-Theanine, Ginseng and green tea caffeine to not only minimise the jitters associated with traditional energy drinks but also deliver sustained, crash-free energy support.”
