How Dylan & Samantha Dreiling created Ananda Elixirs.
Ananda Elixirs began in a small kitchen with a passion for natural wellness. Sammi and Dylan combined their love for mushrooms and botanicals to create a delicious, health-boosting beverage. What started as a simple experiment quickly grew into a thriving brand. Today, we’re proud to lead the wellness beverage industry with products that delight and nourish.
In early 2021, our thriving wellness business, built over a decade, collapsed with the faltering economy. Devastated by its sudden downfall and the unexpected loss of Sammi’s father, we found ourselves at a crossroads amidst new parenthood and career turmoil. Seeking clarity, we took solace in our favorite remedy: long drives and deep conversations. During one of these rides, we asked ourselves, "What would we be doing if we were truly following our bliss?"
As we drove home, Dylan excitedly shared his fascination with functional mushrooms and proposed, “What if we could create a functional mushroom supplement that tastes so good you’d actually look forward to it every day?” With Sammi’s aversion to unappealing supplements in mind, this idea sparked our journey. Over the following months, Ananda Elixirs was born, culminating in the launch of our first product, Supershroom Soda, and marking the beginning of an exciting new adventure.
Looking ahead, Ananda Elixirs is committed to continuing our legacy of innovation and excellence. We are excited to explore new frontiers in wellness and expand our product offerings. Our vision includes not only enhancing our current range but also pioneering new ways to integrate wellness into everyday life.
Sammi and Dylan currently live in her hometown of Ottawa, Canada and run the business from there.
