KND Labs Adds ClearIQ™ to Cannabinoid Portfolio to Elevate Flavor Innovation in Cannabis Products

KND Labs Expands Its Functional Ingredient Portfolio with ClearIQ™ Flavor Modifiers for Cannabis Beverages and Edibles

KND Labs, a recognized leader in cannabinoid ingredients and functional wellness manufacturing, has added ClearIQ™ Natural Flavor A500 and C100 from Myco Technology to its expanding ingredient portfolio. These cutting-edge, mushroom-derived flavor modifiers are engineered to enhance taste performance across a range of hemp- and marijuana-based products, including beverages, gummies, tinctures, and capsules.

With proven scalability, regulatory expertise, and a track record of helping brands bring high-performing products to market, KND continues to evolve its offerings to meet the demands of modern consumers. The addition of ClearIQ™ reinforces KND’s commitment to supporting cleaner, better-tasting, and compliant cannabis formulations.

Unlocking New Possibilities in Cannabis Flavor Development
ClearIQ™, developed through mycelial fermentation of mushrooms, is a clean-label flavor modulation solution that enhances positive flavor notes while suppressing the harsh, bitter, or earthy aftertastes often associated with cannabis extracts.

These cannabis-derived off-notes—especially common in CBD, THC, and novel cannabinoid formulations—pose a challenge for brands creating consumer-ready products, particularly in the rapidly growing cannabis beverage segment. According to Forbes, cannabis beverages are reshaping the alcohol landscape and unlocking new demand from health-conscious consumers.

 

A Strategic Innovation for KND Labs

"Our focus is helping brands deliver clean, great-tasting, functional products—whether that’s with cannabinoids or advanced flavor solutions,” said Nicholas Wilson, President of KND Labs. “Adding ClearIQ™ to our platform allows formulators to overcome taste barriers and explore new product possibilities.”

“Cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and THCV are powerful tools—but flavor remains a key differentiator,” said Sean Cole, Sales Associate at KND Labs. “We’re excited to support our clients in integrating ClearIQ™ into their products and scaling more palatable, premium offerings.”

ClearIQ™ is now available through KND Labs’ U.S. distribution platform and is compatible across all major product formats. As with all ingredient offerings, KND provides partners with end-to-end support, including technical guidance, full compliance documentation, and co-manufacturing capabilities, to help accelerate product development and scale with confidence.

Serving Both Hemp and Marijuana-Derived Brands
KND Labs continues to support both federally compliant hemp and licensed marijuana product companies with a full suite of ingredients and services. The expanded portfolio includes:

  • Cannabinoids: CBD, CBC, CBN, CBG, THCV, and emerging compounds

  • Functional Ingredients: Botanicals, extracts, and performance compounds

  • Manufacturing Services: Bottling, blending, flavoring, product development

  • Compliance Infrastructure: cGMP, ISO, USDA Organic, API, NSF, Kosher, NASC

KND’s rapidly growing non-cannabis division is projected to represent over 50% of company revenue in 2025, with forecasts reaching 75% in 2026—highlighting the company’s expanding influence in health, wellness, and functional ingredient manufacturing.
