 Fruit body

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), also known as cinder conk, is a fungus in Hymenochaetaceae family. It is a fungus parasitic on Birch and other trees. The sterile conk is irregularly formed and has the appearance of burnt charcoal. It is not the fruiting body of the fungus, as many believe, but in fact a big mass of mycelium, mostly black due to the presence of massive amounts of melanin.

Health Benefits

Cancer– Betulinic acid shows wide-ranging anti-cancer activity, including against: leukemia, malignant brain and peripheral nervous system cancers for which mushroom polysaccharide-based supplements show limited benefit.

Immune system– As with other mushrooms, Chaga’s polysaccharide components also show strong immune-modulating activity and this combination of mushroom polysaccharides with host-derived betulinic acid contributes to Chaga’s traditional use in cancer treatment, including for: inoperable breast, lip, gastric, parotid, lung, skin, colorectal cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma.

Digestive disorders– Melano-glucan complexes have wide antimicrobial activity and Chaga has traditionally been used as an internal cleanser with Befungin, an alcohol extract of Chaga, licensed in Russia for the treatment of stomach and intestinal disorders.

Psoriasis– Several anecdotal reports indicate benefit of Chaga for psoriasis and this is supported by a Russian study on 50 psoriasis patients, which reported a 76% cure rate, with improvement in a further 16% of cases. The same study reported that it typically took 9-12 weeks for improvement to become apparent.

More than 1600 research studies over the past 40 years, including cancer research immune deficiencies, diabetes, HIV, hormonal imbalance in vivo & vitro studies.

Chaga mushroom is approved for “Food Use” in humans, by the USFDA. To this date, no side effects or toxicity have ever been reported.
