Chaga is a special woody mushroom that grows on birch trees. Chaga from northern regions is especially valued, as the cold climate is only to its benefit. This birch mushroom has a unique ability to absorb from the trunk and accumulate in its pulp the most useful substances. Thanks to this chaga, grown on a living tree, has a strong healing effect.
The unique healing properties of chaga were widely used by Russian healers back in the XII century. This folk medicine remedy has been considered effective for many centuries for many diseases and is also actively used in Korea and China.
In the XXI century, the popularity of birch chaga has become even stronger in the countries of the East (in Asia) and is rapidly growing in the countries of the West (in Europe). This is largely due to the general focus of people on a healthy lifestyle and, among other things, healthy diet, the main meaning of which is reduced to the use of products that support and strengthen health. It is this effect will be achieved with regular use of chaga. Its unique properties and high efficiency are confirmed by a number of scientific studies, which were conducted not only in Russia, but also in the United States, Japan, Korea, China and Western Europe.
Effectiveness of chaga
Birch mushroom has a complex effect on the human body. Various scientific studies have made it possible to find out its main therapeutic properties, which are expressed most clearly:
Chaga is effective in the fight against psoriasis, which until now was considered an incurable disease
Chaga helps sufferers of diabetes, because it lowers blood sugar levels.
Chaga helps in the treatment of various strains of influenza, HIV, herpes, hepatitis
Chaga is used in oncology. Both in complex treatment and for prevention
Chaga has immunostimulating, immunomodeling and immune-repairing effect
Chaga helps to reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol and normalizes blood pressure
Chaga is characterized by a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect
Chaga normalizes the functioning of all internal organs, as well as all kinds of metabolic processes
Chaga helps to cope with coronovirus SARS-CoV-2, because in addition to antiviral action improves blood fluidity
Antioxidant activity of chaga
Antioxidants are special compounds that combine with free radicals (i.e. molecules that have been damaged), and then remove them from the body. Thanks to this, oxidative processes that inevitably destroy the body's cells are suspended or run much slower.
On the outside, chaga is covered with sclerotium, which is colored black due to the huge amount of melanin (high molecular weight natural dark pigment). It is the high content of polyphenols that sets chaga apart from all other superfoods, because it is a champion in terms of antioxidant levels and, consequently, in its ability to absorb oxygen radicals, which is measured by a special indicator OxygenRadicalAbsorbanceCapacity - ORAC.

Biologically active substances in chaga
Chromogenic polyphenolcarbon complex
- Macro and trace elements - sodium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, barium, potassium, calcium, silicon, zinc, copper.
- Flavonoids. They are synthesized from the melanin of sclerotium. Provide a wide range of effects - diuretic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and also remove toxins from the body.
- Fiber. Improves the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Phytosterols. Reduce blood levels of "bad" cholesterol by absorbing and blocking it. In addition, phytosterols have a destructive effect on viral compounds and on cancer cells.
- Organic acids - obliquinic acid, lilac acid, formic acid, oxalic acid, inonotic acid, vanillic acid, acetic acid.
- Beta-D-glucans - strong active antioxidants, which have a pronounced immunomodulatory effect and can completely suppress free radicals. They produce a powerful defense mechanism against fungi, carcinogens, bacteria and viruses. In addition to activating the body's defenses, these substances normalize blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
- Betulin and betulinic acid. They are distinguished by scientifically confirmed anti-HIV, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory action. In recent years, studies of anti-cancer action have been conducted. It is confirmed that betulinic acid successfully contributes to stopping the process of uncontrolled reproduction of damaged cells in breast cancer.
- Humi-like and agaricinic acids of chaga repair liver cells after damage.
- Polysaccharides regulate blood sugar levels, liver, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, as well as increase the tone of the body and energize it.
- Pterins improve general well-being, increase efficiency.Chromogenic polyphenolcarbon complex
Harvesting and processing of birch chaga
In order to preserve all the healing and health-improving properties of chaga, it must be properly harvested and processed. Traditions of folk medicine plus high technology are the guarantee of naturalness and effectiveness.
Gathering
Chaga is collected by selective harvesting in ecologically clean forest areas, equated in terms of environmental friendliness and safety to the Far North.
Purification
Collected chaga is delivered to the production facility and carefully prepared for processing. Specialists perform critical selection and purification.
Drying
We use a low-temperature technology for processing chaga. Drying takes place in special drying chambers, the temperature in which does not rise above 50 degrees Celsius.
Laboratory analysis
In full compliance with the requirements of GOSTs we analyze chaga for the biological value of its substances.
Processing
Immediately after preparation (cleaning and drying), chaga is processed - first by "cold" crushing, then by extraction.
Packaging
The final stage of the production process is packaging. We seal the products in food-grade plastic bags, which are placed in branded tubes.
Chaga is collected by selective gathering in ecologically clean forest areas, equated in terms of environmental friendliness and safety to the Far North. Chaga is collected in forest areas owned by our company, which allows us to guarantee the authenticity of its origin.
These plots have a significant area and are located in the Tomsk region, Verkhneketsky district. On this territory the collection of chaga is carried out by experienced foresters. And our delivery service provides the fastest possible way of wood chaga mushroom from the birch trunk in Siberia to your home.
