What is Chaga?

Siberian Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is one of the most powerful antioxidants in the world. You may know Chaga by its nickname ‘the mushroom of immortality’ — and it earned that name for good reason. It is rich in a variety of polysaccharides, particularly beta-glucans.

It also contains triterpenes, as well as betulin and betulinic acids, which Chaga absorbs from the birch trees on which it grows. It further delivers beneficial phenols and phenolic compounds, the powerful antioxidant melanin and a full spectrum of B and D vitamins as well as beta-carotene.

In terms of minerals and trace elements, it contains magnesium, sodium, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, and the antioxidant germanium.

What is dual extraction?

It is a process used to extract key nutrients from mushrooms. Dried fruiting bodies undergo a double extraction — with hot water and alcohol in a 1:5 ratio. Alcohol is used to release compounds that are insoluble in water. This is what makes the tincture so rich in active compounds.

The product itself is made from fruiting bodies, not mycelium (the underground part). All the beneficial compounds are found in this part of the mushroom, which grows above the surface. Some manufacturers use laboratory-grown mycelium, meaning their products may lack some of the active compounds.
