What is Chaga Mushroom and why should you take it?

Called the “Mushroom of Immortality,” Chaga mushroom is a potent, safe, anti-cancer agent that can also relieve a wide range of other ailments.

Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus, sometimes known as cinder conk, birch conk or clinker fungus) is a nontoxic fungus that grows naturally on birch trees in cold climates around the world. Its natural black colour is due to its high concentration of melanin, the same compound that causes our skin to tan.

Parasitic Power

Some of Chaga mushroom’s powerful anti-cancer compounds are actually drawn parasitically from the birch trees on which this parasitic mushroom grows. These compounds can also help control metabolic disorders, such as obesity and metabolic syndrome. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, in China it’s believed to extend life by reducing systemic inflammation.

Science has repeatedly proven the power of of Chaga mushroom. It is used worldwide, particularly in Russia, to treat colon cancer, melanomas and other cancers. The beta glucans in Chaga mushroom actually allow the body’s immune cells to recognize cancer cells as “non-self” and destroy them before they spread.

Why you should avoid Chaga mushroom tea!

Chaga mushroom is usually only available in a “chunk” form, which is steeped and consumed as a tea. But boiling damages Chaga mushroom’s fragile disease-fighting compounds, so the process of making tea at low temperatures is difficult and slow, taking 48 hours and stripping over 90% of Chaga mushroom’s active ingredients.

Instead, look for Chaga mushroom in extract powder form, which condenses the active ingredients into one precision-dose capsule. Easier and more efficient to take, these capsules offer higher levels of its disease-fighting compounds, instantly offering the full health benefits of whole Chaga mushroom without the hassle, wait, or unpleasant taste.
