A note from Sun Potion:
Chaga 'mushroom' is a pre-mushroom fungus that grows on trees, forming a symbiotic relationship with its host. The most potent and beneficial forms of Chaga grow on white or golden Birch trees, where a wide spectrum of beneficial nutrients and enzymes concentrate over a 15-20 year period of maturity, and this long period of maturity allows the mushroom to slowly gain all of these benefits from the tree without harming its host. It is a wonderful go-to for supporting your immune system and for the potential to increase white blood cell count through the beneficial nutrients found in Chaga. It may also support red blood cells and bone marrow, help balance platelets, and make your body better prepared to fight off toxins and pathogens. The phytochemicals in Chaga make it an amazing medicinal food that may support regulation of blood sugar, boosting the adrenals and regulating the endocrine system, breaking down biofilm, destroying unproductive fungus in the intestinal tract and the potential for even more.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chaga is considered a Chi Tonic and is reputed to contain adaptogenic qualities which modulate immune responses. Chaga has high levels of B-Vitamins, flavonoids, enzymes, minerals and phenols and contains some of the highest known concentrations of antioxidants of any food, such as Melanin. Chaga is also a rich source of Zinc, an essential nutrient for cell growth, differentiation and survival as well as Germanium.
Our Chaga is sustainably and ethically wild-harvested from Birch forests in Canada. We make sure our Chaga is sustainably harvested as this helps protect the health of the trees it grows on.
