Worldwide it is considered 'The Medicinal King of Herbs' and offers numerous health benefits with no known side effects.

Chaga contains large amounts of betulinic acid in a form that can be ingested orally, as well as the full spectrum of immune-stimulating phytochemicals such as Beta Glycans and polysaccharides which may enhance immune function by stimulating the body's ability to set up cellular defenses.

Chaga contains numerous B vitamins, flavonoids, phenols, minerals, and enzymes.

The Chaga Mushroom is native to Western Siberia, Canada and USA and typically grows on the trunks of birch trees, from which it draws all of its nutrients. Chaga mushroom feeds on the white part of birch tree bark where the antimutagenic action of the molecules inhibits free-radical oxidation producing interferons enhancing DNA repair. This white part of the birch bark is also where the Chaga Mushroom obtains the powerful betulinic acid.

OUR PROCESS:
Our raw chaga mushroom is 100% natural and harvested in the remote wilderness of northern Michigan. We carefully harvest our chaga in small batches, as needed, using techniques that do not harm host birch trees. All chaga is picked far away from any major roads, highways or farms to ensure that our chaga is completely free from any environmental contaminants. Only the largest chaga mushrooms are selected for harvest, leaving the smaller ones to continue to grow. From there we carefully clean and process our chaga. We use all parts of the chaga conk and do not remove the outer darker layer which is rich in betulinic acid. We then grind it to a fine powder and slowly air dry it at room temperatures, to ensure maximum nutritional and medicinal buying benefits are active and available. The fully dried powder is wells suited for long term storage and is the best for for making chaga tea as the powder allows for the largest surface area thus maximum nutrients are available and extracted when making chaga tea.
