More on this Organic Wild Chaga Mushroom:
Mushrooms for Life Organic Chaga is expertly dual extracted using ethanol and hot water. These obtain a 100% fruiting body extract rich in beta-glucans and betulinic acid. This Chaga is Wild crafted, organically certified by the Soil Association, is vegan and naturally gluten, dairy and soya free.
Chaga is another ‘unusual’ fungus that grows mainly on birch trees, primarily in Northern Europe, America and Siberia. The birch tree adds nutrients to the already nutrients dense fungus. In fact, Chaga has one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value of any known food. The ORAC value measures the capacity of any food to neutralise harmful free radicals, thus preventing oxidative damage. Oxidative damage to our DNA has major implications with cancer for instance. The main antioxidant in Chaga is Super-Oxide Dismutase (SOD). This is an enzyme that reduces free radicals damage, caused by stress, poor diet, toxins etc.
Chaga isn’t often thought of when talking about nootropic supplements, but thanks to those important anti-aging(13) benefits, it makes this mushroom great for supporting brain health, especially if taken over long periods of time. In fact, Chaga may have ability to keep neurons healthy by fighting off the damaging effects of stress(14), toxins and aging. Unfortunately, as we age our brain cells naturally begin to deteriorate.
Chaga also contains B vitamins and beta-glucan, which makes it useful in boosting energy and immune function.
Study:
This study shows the use of Chaga in adjunct to cancer treatment, which may be a viable option as inotodiol and 3-β-22 α-dihydroxylanosta-8, 25-diene-24-one have been shown to exhibit anti-cancer activity. From that study: ” Cancer has become the second leading cause of death in the world. Integrative cancer therapy management is continuously evolving to enhance treatment outcomes. Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) is a parasitic fungus acclaimed to contain pharmaceutical and nutraceutical value in the fight against cancer. In particular, triterpenoid constituents derived from Chaga mushrooms have been recognized for their anti-cancer activity after distinguished cytotoxicity was repeatedly observed in cancer cells treated in vitro with lipophilic fractions of extract compared to aqueous ones.”
