What is Chaga?

Chaga
Chaga is classified as a mushroom and is currently being recognized by many health experts 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.


Health Benefits

  • Cancer Prevention and Fighting: Chaga may prevent cancer and slow tumor growth, as seen in studies showing inhibition of colon cancer cells and potential development of anticancer drugs. Further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in humans.
  • Immune System: Beta-D-glucans in chaga help balance the immune system, stimulating it when needed and downregulating it when overactive.
  • Reduction of Inflammation: Chaga contains compounds like betulinic acid, inotodial, and ergosterol peroxide that help reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of cytokines responsible for it.
  • Liver: Polyphenols in the outer portion of chaga (sclerotium) act as antioxidants, protecting against free radicals that can damage the liver and other organs. More research is needed to confirm chaga's effectiveness in liver protection.
  • Intestinal Health: Chaga may prevent stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori by interfering with bacterial cell communication.
  • Lower Cholesterol: Polysaccharides in chaga have been found to reduce LDL or "bad" cholesterol in animal testing, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in humans.
  • Lower Blood Pressure: Chaga's antioxidant properties may help combat oxidative stress-induced inflammation, which can contribute to high blood pressure.
  • Lower Blood Sugar: The beta-D-glucans in chaga also help lower blood sugar levels, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in treating conditions like diabetes.
