Inonotus obliquus (Chaga)

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a parasitic fungus mainly growing on birch trees. For centuries it has held an important place in traditional healing systems, and today is valued primarily as a rich source of polysaccharides, melanin, and antioxidant enzymes. It strengthens the immune system, supports detoxification, and helps maintain the body’s oxidative balance.

Composition

• Concentration: 15,000 mg per 30 ml
• Ingredients: 25% double water–alcohol extract of Chaga spores (Inonotus obliquus) macerate 

Practical Uses

• Immune support – promotes activation of macrophages and NK cells during bacterial and viral infections.
• Antioxidant action – neutralizes free radicals, supports healthy aging and DNA protection.
• Regulation of cholesterol and blood pressure – supports lipid profile and proper vascular tone.
• Liver protection – mild hepatoprotective effect useful in detoxification.
• Digestive system support – soothes inflammation of stomach and intestines, especially combined with Hericium.
• Complementary oncology therapy – betulin and melanin increase the body’s antiproliferative potential.

Other Possible Benefits

• Helps in diabetes treatment and pain relief.
• Liver protective effect (hepatoprotective).
• Supports mental functions – memory, concentration, thinking (inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity).
• Body detoxification, strong antioxidant effect.
• Supports digestion, helps treat gastritis and stomach/duodenal ulcers (especially with Coriolus and Cordyceps).
• Helps with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, eczema, psoriasis.
• Blood cleansing, support in leukemia and malaria.
• Strengthening eyes and hair.

  Objective: To investigate the pro-apoptotic mechanism of Chaga extract on colorectal cancer cell lines.
  Conclusions: Extract triggered ROS-dependent ER stress and activated caspase-3 pathway, inhibiting tumor cell growth.
• Kim Y.J., Park S.Y., Choi Y.H. “Randomized Controlled Trial of Chaga Mushroom on Oxidative Stress and Immune Markers in Healthy Adults.” Phytotherapy Research (2019)
  Objective: 8-week RCT (n=46) assessing the impact of 2 g/day Chaga extract on oxidative and immune parameters.
  Conclusions: Significant reduction of 8-OHdG (-15%) and increase in NK cell activity (+21%) without adverse effects.
