What is Chaga
Chaga is classified as a mushroom and is currently being recognized by many health gurus for its numerous benefits. Chaga grows on 1/10,000 birch trees in colder northern climates and grows an average of ½ an inch per year. It has been used for centuries by natives to help maintain good health. It has a black charcoal outer layer with a yellow spongy looking inside.

Antioxidant Benefits
|
Chaga contains massive amounts of the natural black pigment known as melanin. Melanin has high antioxidant levels due to the amount of polyphenols it contains and in fact, chaga has the highest ORAC score (the measure of antioxidant potency) of any superfood. Melanin is the same antioxidant naturally found in human skin that protects against sun damage.
High antioxidant levels also support cellular regeneration and protect against cellular damage, oxidation and free radical damage. |

Health Benefits
Supports the Immune System:
Chaga’s abundance of beta-D-Glucose helps balance the body's immune system. Beta-D-Glucose balances the bodys immune system response placing it at optimal levels. Without an immune system, our bodies would quickly succumb to harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites, and malignant fungi, leading to serious illness. This is why it’s critically important to support the immune system with nutrition like the kind found in Chaga. Cancer Fighting: Research has shown that Chaga activates immune cells that include, lymphocytes, macrophages, and natural killer cells. This helps with chronic health conditions like autoimmune disease, allergies, and cancer. Chaga has proven effective in supporting standard cancer methods, such as chemotherapy, by compensating for the programs negative side effects. Research is still ongoing and more studies are needed to determine chaga’s full impact on cancer. |
Soothing properties
|
Chaga mushrooms contain a variety of other polysaccharides that have been scientifically shown to help boost energy levels and promote mental clarity.
People suffering from chronic pain, neuropathy, and even diabetes have a positive reaction to the properties found in chaga, and in some cases chaga has replaced over the counter medication. |
