What You Need to Know About Chaga
Chaga is a raw force of concentrated nutrients, operating as a polypore fungus and taking up to twenty years to mature. Virtually anyone who is interested in more strength and vitality can potentially benefit from consuming Chaga. Real Chaga is found only in the wild. It grows in the far northern forests, on birch trees, where the ecosystem is still intact.
Chaga thrives in the remote wilderness. It consumes and then concentrates the natural power of the birch tree. Once a best-kept secret, Chaga is now grown in labs instead of the forest. North American Herb & Spice goes out of their way to ensure all ingredients sourced are preserved from their natural habitat and never degraded, allowing maximum results.
Wild Chaga is very thick and almost as hard as wood. It is the most nutritionally dense of all mushrooms.
Chaga contains far more antioxidants than any other mushroom. You might be shocked to learn that anti-oxidant levels in wild Chaga surpass almost every food on the planet!
The Siberians know it as the “Gift from God” and the “Mushroom of Immortality.”
The Japanese affectionately call it “The Diamond of the Forest,”
while the Chinese deem it the “King of Plants.”
Our wild Chaga contains six adrenal-nourishing B vitamins, trace amounts of vitamin D2, amino acids, protein, fiber, and multiple minerals, including potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc, calcium, manganese, and iron. Chaga also provides choline, a natural brainboosting enzyme, and melanin, which supports the healthy pigmentation of the skin. This incredible mushroom gives us multiple plant sterols, which support healthy cholesterol and energy in the body while nourishing both the heart and adrenals. Chaga contains high amounts of a potent organic compound called Betulinic Acid, which supports the immune system, the brain, digestive system, and the body’s response to inflammation. Studies provided by pubmed.gov show great promise for its powerful anti-oxidant potential.
Wild Chaga mushrooms are also a dense source of one of nature’s most potent anti-oxidants: S.O.D, or Super Oxide Dismutase. Oxidation is a real problem in the body as it contributes to aging and decay. Anti-oxidants help in this regard, but S.O.D. is far more efficient and effective in its capacity compared to others in the antioxidant family, such as quercetin or vitamin C, for example. Tests performed on North American Herb & Spice’s wild Chaga prove that it contains 10,000 to 20,000 active S.O.D. units per gram. It is an exceedingly high amount; far higher than what is typically available as an S.O.D supplement. It is often attributed to the Siberian people’s longevity factor who traditionally drink Chaga tea daily and commonly live into their 90s!
Chaga is also one of the most potent adaptogen herbs. Adaptogens are substances that modify the human body’s response to stress. Whether it is stress support, immunity, adrenal and energy support, brain function, blood sugar, cholesterol levels, or heart function, Chaga mushrooms supply ample nutrition to the entire body. If you need more energy and are looking to fill some nutritional deficiencies while supporting immunity, Chaga is calling your name. It is the most broadly supportive of all mushrooms!
