Properties and ingredients of chaga
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) has been used as a dietary supplement for centuries, especially in Northern Europe, the Americas and Asia. It loves the deciduous trees of the forests of Russia, Poland and Scandinavia, as well as Canada and Japan.
The main vital ingredients of the chaga mushroom are beta-glucans. However, betulinic acid and various minerals such as potassium, sodium and manganese also make it a popular addition to a balanced diet. And of course an interesting medicinal mushroom.
Chaga use cases in research and practice
Chaga is considered a valuable general tonic, especially in traditional Chinese medicine. In Siberia, the Baltic States and Finland, chaga has also been used for centuries as a health-promoting tea for gastrointestinal disorders and to support wound healing. Chaga is also rich in antioxidants and can thus protect the body from free radicals.
