Chaga extract (Inonotus obliquus) tincture (drops)

Three words to describe how Chaga works: balance/flow/endurance.

Chaga is one. Our Chaga is grown under special conditions in the Finnish countryside, in Karjalohja, Finland, in a region distinguished by the cleanest waters and air according to UNESCO [1],[2] . We use only mushroom fruiting bodies to produce our powerful, organic Chaga tincture. It is extracted using ultrasonic technology (UAE), as well as alcohol and hot water. Thanks to this innovative extraction method, we maximize the bioavailability and absorption of the compounds we are interested in, such as triterpenes or beta-glucans (our extracts contain at least 32% of beta-glucans).

Chaga ingredients have a strengthening and regenerating effect, stimulate the production of leukocytes, regulate (strengthen or weaken) the immune system, neutralize free radicals. They protect the eyes from UV radiation. They improve the condition and color of the skin. An excellent mushroom for people struggling with all intestinal problems. Chaga soothes the effects of diseases of the stomach, digestive system and the activity of parasites and has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, protecting the liver parenchyma (detox from heavy metals), lowering the concentration of cholesterol and lipids in the blood, antibacterial. It can regulate blood pressure and lower blood sugar levels.

A special Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE) technology was used for the extraction, which breaks down the fungal cell wall made of chitin. The use of alcohol extraction alone would not extract the full potential of biocomponents from the mushroom, such as triterpenes or beta-glucans, hence the use of highly advanced ultrasonic technology. The use of alcohol in the production of tinctures helps to better extract the active ingredients and at the same time supports their absorption. From the level of Chinese Medicine, alcohol itself has a yang character and therefore has a "moving" effect on blood circulation. Properly concentrated alcohol in combination with mushroom extracts supports general vitality and soothes pain at the level of muscles or joints.

The safety and purity of products is our top priority. Each production batch undergoes independent tests for the presence of microorganisms and heavy metals.

The use of Chaga in the light of science
Chaga is a powerful source of antioxidants [3] and perfectly regulates the intestinal microbiota [4]. Chaga helps to slow down the aging process of cells and inhibits damage at the DNA and RNA level [5]. It has been researched that the further north you go, the higher the concentration of ingredients such as beta-glucans and triterpenes in the Chaga mushroom. This is why we harvest our chaga north of the Arctic Circle [6]. Thanks to this, you can be sure that our chaga is extremely rich in nutrients. The polysaccharides contained in Chaga have promising hypoglycemic and insulin-modulating properties [7], they are also great in the context of chronic fatigue and antidiabetic effects [8], [9].

Dosage Best Practices
Shake before use.
Always start with smaller doses to find the optimal dosage for you. We follow the principle of "start low, go slow" - we start with small doses and slowly increase them.
The extract in the tincture can be poured with hot water, thanks to which the alcohol will evaporate. This procedure is recommended for children or drivers.
The recommended maximum daily dose is 2ml (2x full pipette). We recommend the use of mushrooms during the week, and a break at the weekend.
We recommend taking a week break after every 3 months of using mushrooms.
