Chaga mushroom is one of the most potent and profound natural substances for increasing health and longevity.
Native to the forests of the Northern Hemisphere, Chaga was revered by Siberian medicine men as not just a powerful herb, but actually as the ‘King of Mushrooms.’
Chaga continued to be used in folk medicine and in the 1960’s scientists began to study it.
The scientific research confirmed what people had known for centuries: Chaga is a profound natural substance for combating cancer, reducing inflammation, promoting longevity, and improving digestive, cardiovascular, and immune function.
#1 For antioxidants
Chaga is extremely nutrient-dense.
It has high concentrations of B Vitamins, flavonoids, phenols, copper, calcium, potassium, manganese, zinc, iron and 19 of the 20 amino acids required by humans.
It’s super-nutritional qualities don’t stop there however, Chaga has a substantially higher concentration of the antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) than any other food or herb.
Many people consider SOD to be one of, if not the most important antioxidants in the world.
SOD fights superoxide, which is the most common free-radical found in the body.
In addition to having the highest levels of SOD, Chaga has actually been found to have the highest overall levels of anti-oxidants of any food in the world!
#1 Natural Anti-Cancer Substance
Chaga has been used for at least hundreds of years as the premier anti-cancer agent.
There has been extensive scientific research done which confirms that Chaga is incredibly powerful at fighting cancer.
Chaga has demonstrated the ability to prevent cancer cells from dividing, and higher doses have been shown to induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells. (study1) (study2)
Amazingly, it is able to destroy cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
Chaga’s anti-cancer properties are not only attributed to its huge anti-oxidant content, but also to it’s betulinic acid and beta-glucan conetent as well.
The betulinic acid in Chaga comes from it’s preferred host: birch trees.
Birch trees naturally produce betulinic acid and Chaga that grows on birch further concentrates it.
It is important to make sure you’re getting Chaga that has been grown on birch trees.
Otherwise it won’t contain this potent compound!
Overall Health Balance
While Chaga powerfully combats cancer, it is also a premier overall health tonic and benefits a multitude of bodily systems.
It has demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory effects and is considered highly alkalizing.
It is also a tremendous immune system modulator and helps the body defend against unwanted viruses, bacteria, parasites and other microbes.
As a result, this also makes it great for the digestive system, helping to restore balance.
Chaga has also shown benefit for the blood, normalizing both blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
It has even demonstrated an ability to protect DNA from damage.
You might think something so healthy would taste bad, but Chaga actually has a delicious, earthy flavor with a hint of vanilla. (It does contain vanillic acid after all!)
No wonder chaga has earned such prestige as a super health tonic.
Here are 6 reasons why this Chaga Extract is superior to other Chaga products:
1. Whole Mushroom Fruiting Bodies (Sclerotium)
Many of the Chaga products on the market are made from what’s called ‘mycellium.’ Mycellium is the portion of the mushroom organism that typically grows underground or in a log. The ‘fruiting body’ on the other hand, grows above ground and is the portion that people are able to see, collect, and consume. Chaga is one of the few mushrooms where the part that grows out in the open is actually called a ‘sclerotium.’ The problem with many chaga extracts is that they’re made only with the mycellium that is grown in grain. This means it doesn’t actually contain the portion of the mushroom that has been traditionally consumed for it’s benefits (the sclerotium). It’s literally like eating wood from an apple tree when you’re told you’re getting an apple. If you want bioavailable, active constituents then the mycellium products are not what you’re looking for.
The issue with mushroom extracts goes even further. A large portion of the material being extracted is actually the grain the mycellium is grown in. That means the vast majority of mushroom extracts on the market are mostly grain with a little bit of the non-medicinal part of the mushroom. Needless to say, they aren’t nearly as potent as the natural form of the herb which has been revered for centuries.
The Chaga Extract we are offering is an ideal chaga product. It’s made exclusively from whole Chaga sclerotia and contains NO mycellium and none of the material the chaga was grown on. It’s incredibly rare to find a chaga product like this and the benefits can be seen in its taste, potency, and efficacy.
This product contains no extra binders, fillers, or grains of any kind, just pure, potent Chaga Extract.
2. Wildcrafted From Remote Siberian Birch Trees
Birch trees are the preferred growth habitat for chaga. In fact, one of the chaga’s most potent medicinal compounds, betulinic acid, is ONLY present when the chaga grows on birch. The chaga used in our extract has been sourced from birch trees located in remote Siberian forests. This means chaga is grown in a wild, natural environment that is free of pollution. This is considered an ideal source for chaga and the result is that this is a cleaner and more potent product.
3. Standardized to >2% Beta-Glucans
Much of the research done on medicinal mushrooms indicates their primary active compound is something called ‘Beta-Glucans.’ Beta Glucans are a special type of polysaccharide (complex sugar) which is in the cell wall of most every medicinal mushroom. In studies, beta glucans have demonstrated a profound ability to enhance immune system and brain function. This chaga extract is guaranteed to contain over 2% beta glucan content! Chaga naturally has a lower beta glucan content than other mushrooms so that fact that this prodcut is standardized to >2% means that is a very concentrated and potent chaga product.
Many extract products are listed as a ratio, say 2:1 for example. This is intended to demonstrate potency and concentration. After having sampled literally hundreds of different extracts I can say that extract ratio numbers are almost useless. The quality can vary wildly from one product to the next and even from one batch to another, even if they list the same extraction ratio. Our extract on the other hand is actually guaranteed to have a specific amount of active ingredients, making it a sure bet for potency and efficacy.
4. Dual Extracted
This product as been extracted in the most optimal way to deliver pure, potent Chaga. A dual extract refers to the use of two types of solvents: hot water and organic alcohol. (This product contains no alcohol, it is only used as a solvent.) Chaga contains a multitude of valuable constituents. Some of the constituents are water soluble and can be accesses with water while others are only accessible with the use of a solvent like alcohol. This dual extract contains BOTH which means you’re getting ALL of the amazing beneficial compounds from the Chaga in a way that is easy to digest and assimilate.
Another benefit of having a dual extract product, is that it’s highly concentrated. This extract is an 8:1 extract. That means it takes 10 pounds of raw Chaga to make just 1 pound of finished extract powder. That means this 50g bag is equivalent to almost a full pound of raw material!
5. Price
Typically a premium grade product commands a premium price. Despite the fact that this is a much better product than what most competitors offer, we’re still offering it at a much lower price. I simply want as many people as possible to experience the potent benefits of this amazing herb.
6. Free Shipping From the United States
All shipping in the United States is free! I always ship orders out on the same or next business day of your order. That means you get your product quickly, easily, and with no extra hassle.
