Chaga

Support for Your Body's Innate Defenses

Chaga is a deep-acting tonic that works at a fundamental level to fortify your body's systems, providing a shield of resilience from the inside out. Here’s how:

• Provides Elite Antioxidant Protection:*
  As one of nature’s richest sources of the antioxidant enzyme Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and melanin, Chaga helps defend cells throughout the body against oxidative stress caused by environmental toxins and aging.
• Supports a Smart & Balanced Immune System:*
  Rich in beta-glucans and other polysaccharides, Chaga functions as a powerful immunomodulator, supporting the body’s innate wisdom to mount a smart, balanced, and effective immune response.
• Aids the Body’s Natural Detoxification Pathways:*
  By supporting liver health and providing potent antioxidants, Chaga aids your body’s crucial detoxification systems, helping to process and eliminate what doesn’t serve you.
• Promotes a Clear & Healthy Complexion:*
  The combination of its high melanin content and support for liver detoxification pathways helps promote clear, vibrant skin from deep within.

Are You Weathering the Storm of Modern Life?

We are constantly exposed to a world of unseen stressors—environmental toxins, blue light, background radiation, and the biological toll of chronic stress. It’s like being in a slow-motion storm, and over time, it can wear down our defenses, leaving us feeling fatigued and vulnerable. You can't live in a bubble, but you can build a better shield. Chaga is nature’s answer to this challenge. It grows in the harshest climates by creating a fortress of protective compounds. Taking our Chaga extract is like borrowing that ancient, resilient strength for yourself.*

Chaga is Ideal For:

• The Health-Conscious Urban Dweller: Seeking to support their body's defenses against environmental pollutants.*
• The Biohacker & Wellness Enthusiast: Who wants potent antioxidant support for long-term cellular health.*
• Anyone Focused on Graceful Aging: Who wishes to support their skin and internal systems from oxidative stress.*
• The Person Seeking Deep, Foundational Immune Support: Who wants to invest in building a resilient, intelligent immune system.*

The Diamond of the Forest

Deep in the coldest northern forests, on the trunk of the birch tree, grows a dark, rugged, and unassuming treasure known as Chaga. It is not a mushroom in the typical sense, but a dense, woody mass of mycelium packed with a symphony of protective compounds it creates to survive and thrive in extreme conditions.

Our Chaga tincture is a testament to this resilience, combining two distinct sources to create a truly full-spectrum extract.

The 'Body' and The 'Soul' of Chaga

This is not just another Chaga. Our formula is an intelligent blend designed for unparalleled potency:

• The 'Body' (88% Log-Grown): We use organically grown Chaga for its rich, consistent, and potent concentration of immune-supporting polysaccharides (beta-glucans). This is the heart of its power to support a balanced immune system.
• The 'Soul' (12% Wild-Harvested): We sustainably gather old-growth Chaga from the pristine birch forests of northern Canada. This wild specimen provides what cultivation cannot: a deep concentration of protective melanin and rare-earth minerals, the source of its profound antioxidant properties.

Together, they create a 'dual-extract' that delivers the complete defensive intelligence of this incredible organism. It is the ultimate shield for your cells.*

Batch Specs

We source Chaga Mushroom from two places. We use organically grown log-cultivated Chaga from a grower-guided outdoor laboratory in the Pacific Northwest USA. We also source from the pristine birch forest of far northern Canada where one can find old-growth Chaga that is unpolluted.

We predominantly formulate with the sweeter and polysaccharide rich log-cultivated Chaga, so that this supplement is safer and easier-to-take for the long-term benefits.

Log cultivated Chaga has many advantages, with the main benefit being that one can harvest all parts of the mushroom for a high concentration of all constituents, especially the polysaccharides. It also produces a consistent supplement that will easily work without any natural variances found in wild Chaga that could impair potency, due to the attentive detail to cultivation in a controlled environment.

And lastly, cultivation allows us to harvest Chaga without injuring the necessary mutual relationship of chaga and the forest collective.

Old-Growth Wild Chaga must be harvested sustainably, due to the need for the intelligent mycelium to stay intact, so that, it may store and shuttle necessary enzymes and minerals around the ecosystem without being depleted; only the fruiting body and sclerotium may be harvested wild to prevent damaging the host tree and weakening the adaptability of the forest collective to natural factors found in the environment.

Old-growth wild Chaga is added to this formulation to increase the melanin content. Old-growth wild food sources are also higher in rare-earth minerals, such as the lanthanide series on the periodic table.

We formulate using a variety of extraction techniques for multi-step potency which include:

• Artisan-formulated for Wholistic Effects and Benefits
• Harvesting at Times of Full Botanical Potency
• All Active Parts of the Mushroom are Included in the Formula
• Cold Processed Where Appropriate to Preserve Integrity of Fragile Constituents
• Dual Solvent: Water and Alcohol for 99.9% constituent content
• Activated for Easy Digestion
• Stabilized for Natural Preservation - No Preservatives
• Flash-steamed for Cracked Cell-walls to Release Chitin Bound Constituents

This formulation uses low alcohol, 25% percent by volume.
