Chaga (120 capsules) is the most medicinal wood-growing mushroom found in our forests. According to modern research, the best uses of chaga include its preventive anti-cancer, antioxidant, antiviral, immunomodulatory, and general adaptogenic properties, as well as its support for brain and gastrointestinal function, and its application in therapeutic and cosmetic purposes. The mushroom has undergone clinical trials.

Chaga contains water-soluble chromogens, humic-like chaga acid (up to 60%), polysaccharides (beta-glucans), lignin, melanin, fiber, phytosterols (such as lanosterol and ergosterol), pterin compounds, organic acids (including oxalic acid up to 4.5%), triterpenic acids (such as betulinic acid), free phenols, and various mineral salts (silicon, iron, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, potassium, germanium, and others). This wide range of active components makes chaga a unique remedy capable of exerting a comprehensive effect on all body systems and serving as a foundational daily support, especially during periods of increased stress exposure. Ergosterol, found in abundance in chaga, is a natural precursor of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which is produced under ultraviolet light. Vitamin D is one of the key vitamins in the human body, with receptors for its active metabolites present in nearly all cells and tissues. Its most important function is maintaining calcium homeostasis and bone mineralization.

Chaga contains betulin (a triterpenoid component of birch bark) and its bioavailable derivatives, which accumulate in the fruiting body and possess unique anti-inflammatory, reparative, and antioxidant properties. Chaga is especially indicated for gastritis, peptic ulcers, and other inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract. It quickly relieves pain and dyspeptic symptoms, normalizes bowel function, and improves intestinal motility and the condition of the intestinal wall.

Chaga's polysaccharides and betulin have proven anti-cancer properties and are used in the treatment of cancers of the stomach, small and large intestines, lungs, and other organs. They activate B-cells of the humoral immune system and macrophages, stimulate apoptosis of cancer cells, and can inhibit tumor growth. Statistics from regions where the population regularly consumes chaga as a tea show that the incidence of cancer is significantly lower. Regular consumption of chaga 2-3 times a week serves as a reliable and inexpensive cancer prevention method.

Chaga is an excellent remedy for recovery after intensive physical exertion. It increases glycogen levels in muscles and liver, reduces lactic acid and urea nitrogen levels, which is particularly important for gym-goers, professional athletes, and people whose diet includes a lot of meat products. Chaga supplements have long been used as an energy tonic in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome, to enhance endurance and productivity throughout the day—issues that are increasingly prominent in Western society.

Chaga exhibits strong antibacterial activity, inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, and Helicobacter pylori. It also demonstrates anti-biofilm effects on pathogens.

Chaga's benefits include:

  • Antiviral and antibacterial activity
  • Antitumor activity
  • Cytotoxicity against tumor cells and inhibition of metastasis
  • Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity
  • Increased endurance
  • Rapid recovery after physical exertion; anti-hypoxic
  • Immunomodulator
