Chaga

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a dietary supplement used as a tonic and an adaptogen by many different people to support health, wellness, and detoxification.

Chaga contains unique constituents that naturally support the functioning and health of various systems, organs, glands, and tissues.

• Support a balanced and fortified immune system
• Promote natural detoxification processes and liver health
• Maintain cellular protection with antioxidant defenses
• Support bodily adaptation to environmental stress
• Cultivate sustained energy and daily vitality
• Promote healthy skin and cellular tissue nourishment
• Maintain healthy endocrine and hormone function

Chaga promotes cellular fortification and maintains immune system functioning during periods of prolonged physical and environmental exposure.

Chaga contains unique constituents, including polysaccharides and triterpenoids, that interact with the immune and nervous systems to maintain a fortified stress response. During periods of exertion or exposure, the liver utilizes these constituents to support a balanced detoxification process and promote subsequent physical recovery. Furthermore, the high concentration of melanin and other polyphenols provides antioxidant protection, balancing oxidative stress within cellular tissues.

This supplement cultivates energy by supporting the biochemical digestion and assimilation of nutrients within complete balanced meals. The dietary consumption of these nutrients allows the organs to efficiently absorb the essential vitamins and rare-earth minerals required for long-lasting cellular function. Chaga must be consumed with a density of nutrients from a complete diet to provide the essential raw materials for these biochemical processes to work.

The continuous consumption of the constituents in Chaga, as part of a well-balanced complete meals program, are used to support, promote, and maintain many different aspects of daily lifestyles.

• Health Cultivation and Immunity: Provides generalized nourishment for individuals seeking proactive wellness and a fortified immune response against environmental demands.
• Detoxification: Supports the individual seeking natural hepatic (liver) assistance to filter and process the metabolic byproducts of daily living.
• Active Lifestyles: Cultivates sustained vitality and defends cellular tissues against the oxidative stress of physical training.

Constituents: Polysaccharides (beta-glucans), triterpenoids, melanin, polyphenols, and rare-earth minerals (lanthanides).
Systems: Immune, Digestive, Integumentary (Skin), Nervous.
Category: Adaptogen, Tonic.

• 100% Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus obliquus)
• 88% Organic Hardwood Log Grown (Pacific Northwest, USA) - Cultivates a high concentration of polysaccharides and a sweeter profile while protecting forest ecosystems.
• 12% Wild Harvested Old-Growth (Northern Canada) - Foraged sustainably to provide a density of melanin and rare-earth minerals.
• Structured Distilled Water and Triple Filtered USP Grade Organic Alcohol (25% by volume).
• Extraction Ratio: 2 pounds to 1 quart (~57,000mgs to 2oz / 60ml).
• Flash-steamed for cracked cell-walls to release chitin-bound constituents, then cold processed in fluid suspension to preserve biological activity.

To find a functional dose, start with a minimum dose of 10 drops to 1 dropper and work up. The continuous overconsumption of this supplement is is not recommended without proper nutrient density from complete meals.

Liquid Extract and Tincture Dosage: 10 drops to 1-3 droppers @ 1-3 times per day (333 – 6,000 milligrams daily).

• Shake gently: Secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the liquid extract. Vigorous shaking oxidizes the volatile constituents and reduces biological activity.
• By mouth: Hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing, or mix the drops into 2-4 oz of lukewarm water. Hot water will catabolize the fragile volatile compounds.
• Timing: Best taken with meals to aid assimilation. May also be taken with fermented foods or probiotic supplements to support the absorption of the beneficial constituents.

Q: Why blend log-grown and wild-harvested Chaga?

A: Log-cultivation ensures a consistently high polysaccharide concentration and avoids depleting the delicate forest mycelial web. Incorporating a specific ratio of wild-harvested old-growth Chaga introduces a dense source of melanin and rare-earth minerals. Combining them supports a complete spectrum of biological activity.

Q: How does Chaga support detoxification?

A: The constituents in Chaga, particularly the triterpenoids and antioxidant polyphenols, support the functioning of the liver. The liver requires these raw materials to process, filter, and balance the daily environmental and metabolic byproducts the body encounters.

Q: Does Chaga provide immediate energy?

A: Chaga is not a stimulant. It cultivates sustained vitality by supporting healthy adaptation to stress and fortifying immune and hepatic functions. It works over time to maintain steady energy when consumed alongside complete balanced meals.

Q: Will Chaga cause any undesired outcomes or adverse events if taken with other products?

A: Supplements are food added to the diet. Generally, Chaga may be taken with other dietary supplements. However, if someone has a diagnosed disease or health-condition, they must consult with a healthcare professional, since a supplement cannot self-treat or manage diseases.
