Optimi Health Completes Commercial Psilocybin Production to Address Treatment-Resistant Depression in Australia
Optimi’s 5mg psilocybin capsules are prescribed commercially for treatment-resistant depression in Australia, with additional product from the run earmarked for planned clinical trials in the United States and Europe
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 2, 2026 – via IBN – Optimi Health Corp. (NASDAQ: OPTH) (CSE: OPTI) (FSE: 8BN0) (the “Company” or “Optimi”), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical manufacturer of regulated psychedelic drug products, today announced the completion of a GMP production run of its 5mg psilocybin finished drug product.
The finished psilocybin capsules use the same formulation already prescribed to patients in Australia for treatment-resistant depression (“TRD”). The Company has also updated the product’s bottling configuration to improve ease of use for prescribers and patients in the Australian market.
Additional product from the same production run is earmarked to support upcoming clinical research in the United States and clinical trials in Europe across various indications.
All stages of manufacturing were completed in-house and on-site at Optimi’s facility under its Health Canada Drug Establishment Licence (“DEL”): biomass cultivation, extraction of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) using Optimi’s proprietary methods, encapsulation of the 5mg finished drug product, and packaging. The DEL authorizes Optimi to manufacture, package, label, test, store, and distribute controlled drug products, positioning the Company as a vertically integrated GMP supply layer for regulated psychedelic medicine.
The pharmaceutical grade facility is built to institutional security standards, including a Health Canada compliant Level 8 vault with the capacity to securely store controlled substances valued at up to C$100 million. Optimi is authorized by Health Canada to hold up to 20 kilograms of psilocybin and approximately 2,000 kilograms of biomass on site, giving the Company commercial-scale supply capacity.
“Optimi is one of the only companies to take naturally derived psilocybin from biomass to a finished drug product, entirely under one roof and on our own licence,” said Dane Stevens, CEO and Co-Founder of Optimi. “What sets Optimi apart is that we serve both sides of this market simultaneously. The same 5mg psilocybin medicine prescribed in-clinic for treatment-resistant depression today, within a fully regulated framework, is the drug also being studied in clinical trials across a range of indications. We are proud to supply patients today and the researchers shaping what comes next.”
Optimi supplies finished psilocybin and MDMA drug products to regulated markets internationally, in support of both patient access and clinical research. Building on its established export capability under the DEL, the Company is positioned to serve approved programs across multiple jurisdictions. Inquiries regarding product for special access programs and clinical trial supply may be directed to sales@optimihealth.ca.
