Known as the "King of Medicinal Mushrooms," chaga is the second most antioxidant-rich food in the world, next to cocoa. A nutrient-dense superfood, the chaga mushroom grows on birch trees throughout the northern hemisphere. It resembles a dark clump of dirt more than a mushroom, but is distinguished from other growths by its orange tissue. Chaga has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, and today, doctors, alternative medicine advocates, and researchers are increasingly interested in its many health benefits.
Compared to powders, a liquid extract contains a range of full spectrum compounds featuring both water-soluble (for example polysaccharides like beta-glucans) and alcohol-soluble compounds (such as antioxidants like triterpenoids and Superoxide Dismutase [SOD],) ensuring access to all the beneficial properties the mushroom has to offer.

Nutrient-dense superfood
