Chaga Mushroom Organic provides a concentrated dual extracted chaga powder. Chaga, Inonotus obliquus, is valued for naturally occurring beta glucans, polysaccharides, triterpenes and dark antioxidant compounds such as melanin. These are the main constituents people look for when buying chaga.
Chaga is commonly used for immune support and antioxidant support, especially in powders, teas and concentrated extracts. Because this is a 12:1 extract, it is not the same as plain ground mushroom. The extraction step is there to concentrate the compounds that are usually discussed in chaga research and traditional use, which is helpful if you want more than a simple food powder.
What does Chaga Mushroom Organic contain? It contains certified organic chaga mushroom powder in a dual extracted 12:1 concentrate.
What is chaga commonly used for? Chaga is commonly used for immune support and antioxidant support because it naturally contains beta glucans and polyphenol style compounds.
Why does extraction matter with chaga? Chaga is often extracted because many of its key compounds are discussed in tea and extract form rather than in raw pieces alone. A concentrated extract is useful when you want a smaller serving with more actives per scoop.
