Chaga does not look like a mushroom as you know it. No cap and stem, but a dark, gnarled growth on birch trees, almost like burnt wood. In Russia and Northern Europe it has been used as a tea for centuries. These capsules contain organic chaga powder. For anyone who wants to get to know chaga.
What is Chaga?
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), also known as the birch conk, does not have a typical mushroom shape, but appears as a dark, gnarled growth on the trunk of birch trees. The outside is almost black and reminiscent of burnt wood, the inside is orange-brown. Chaga grows in Northern Europe, Siberia, Canada and North America, and has been used within Russian and Northern European herbal traditions for centuries, often as a tea. In its natural composition, beta-glucans, polyphenols and betulin stand out, among others (betulin comes from the birch on which chaga grows). No health claims have been approved for chaga within the EU.
Quality and origin
These capsules are EU organic certified, which means the mushrooms have been grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. Pure Mushrooms uses the pure mushroom material without additions, which affects the composition of the natural constituents such as beta-glucans. The capsule shell is plant-based (HPMC), so the capsules are vegan, and free from artificial fillers, binders, colourings and flavourings.
Intake and dosage
Take 1 to 2 capsules daily with water, preferably during or after a meal. Chaga was traditionally drunk as a tea; in capsule form the timing does not matter. The timing is not critical: consistent daily use over several weeks weighs more heavily than precise timing. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount.
