Chaga
NEWS: This superfood is now available in the SANEStore as a convenient whole-food powder so you can more easily enjoy it in smoothies and recipes.
Chaga Mushroom (non-GMO) is prized by natural health practitioners who consider it far superior to anything else in nature. The Chaga Mushroom has been appreciated for thousands of years, dating as far back as the 16th century traditionally used in Eastern European folk medicine as a possible natural remedy for a wide selection of conditions. Worldwide it is considered ‘The Medicinal King of Herbs’ and a precious gift from nature. Chaga Mushroom draws its nutrients out of living birch trees, rather than from the ground. The amazing properties of betulin or betulinic acid, a chemical isolated from birch trees, is now being studied for use as a chemotherapy agent. 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 found in other medicinal mushrooms such as maitake mushroom and shiitake mushroom.
For centuries Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have used Chaga Mushroom for general health, longevity, beauty, and as a remedy for the most serious health conditions. In Asian culture, the Chaga Mushroom is referred to as the ‘Mushroom of Immortality’ used to support immunity, supporting the body’s ability to eliminate toxins while also supporting the nervous system. Raw Chaga Mushroom is a wonderful source of Melanin supporting youthful looks and vibrant skin. The Chaga Mushroom is known for its wonderful antioxidant properties and supporting a healthy inflammation response.
Today, the Chaga Mushroom is commonly used to support general health. Chaga Mushroom contains large amounts of phytonutrients and immune supporting compounds such as Beta Glycans and polysaccharides which may support the body’s ability to set up cellular defenses. It has even been said that the Chaga Mushroom can balance metabolism and one’s chi or vital energy levels.
The Chaga Mushroom is native to Western Siberia, Canada and USA and typically grows on the trunks of birch trees. Unlike other mushrooms with gills or caps, the Chaga has pores and is irregularly formed looking much like a burnt piece of charcoal. The Chaga is a parasitic mushroom that feeds on the white part of birch tree bark where the immune supporting substances are formed. This white part of the birch bark is also where the Chaga Mushroom obtains the powerful betulinic acid which may support the bodies fight of abnormal and uncontrolled cell division.
Raw Chaga Mushroom is 100% natural and harvested in the wild. It contain over 215 phytonutrients, has 25 to 50 times more SOD antioxidants than Agaricus, CoQ 10, vitamin C and wild blueberries, and is rated among the highest on the ORAC.
