There are many types of mushrooms but Chaga is Unique!

For thousands of years, Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) has been revered by Siberian shamans and northern tribes as the “King of Medicinal Mushrooms”. Known also as the “Diamond of the Forest” and the “Mushroom of Immortality”, Chaga has long been treasured for its extraordinary healing powers.

Today, paired with ceremonial cacao, this sacred mushroom offers profound support for the body, mind, and spirit. Strengthening immunity, restoring balance, and awakening vitality.

While cacao is well-known for its high antioxidant content, it pales in comparison to Chaga. Measured by the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), Chaga mushrooms hold the highest antioxidant score of any known food.

ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) is a method to measure the antioxidant activity of foods. Basically, researchers set a bunch of free radicals (bad) against a sample of a food and see how well the antioxidants in the food can disarm the free radicals. 

Chaga mushrooms rate as the highest among all other natural foods in the world!

It is especially rich in SuperOxide Dismutase (SOD) and melanin, a group of enzymes that play an important role in protecting our body against the destructive effects of uncontrolled oxidation and free radicals. These compounds help protect our DNA, fight free radicals, and even support fertility and neurological health.

Chaga also contains high levels of Melanin (an antioxidant that protects and repairs your DNA and fights radiation). Melanin is a complex compound that gives the skin, hair and the iris (coloured part of the eye) their colour.

Ageing, genetics and environmental factors such as exposure to the sun a common contributing factors to poor production of these colour pigments.

Regardless of the melanin state in your body, chaga mushrooms can help in maintaining healthy levels of the pigments, help in protection against ultraviolet rays, reduces the risk of skin cancer, supports fertility health, helps to prevent folate depletion (folate is vital for fertility and fetal development), supports many metabolic processes in the body and helps in the prevention of serious neurological disorders, these include inborn defects of the brain and the spinal cord (neuro-tubal defects)

Where cacao is already beloved and well known for her high amount of antioxidants, Chaga takes this to another level. Together, they create a divine blend for strength and resilience.

Besides being a powerful antioxidant, this unique mushrooms is on of the most potent immune regulating mushrooms out there.

One of the most important components found in Chaga is Beta-Glucans. Beta-Glucans is a well studied type of polysaccharides that help the body to regulate the immune system, either in suppressing an overactive immune system or in helping to build up a damaged immune system.

This is important, as the immune system function is truly at the core of what makes one healthy or sick. Beta Glucans stimulate the immune system by activating macrophages and natural killer cell function (macrophages are those white blood cells that attack and remove foreign particles and pathogens).

When lymphocytes and macrophages are activated it causes increased production of cytokines, which are the messengers of our immune system.

This immune modulatory effect means that Chaga can benefit people needing immune support and people with autoimmune disorders

Chaga is deeply connected to the pineal gland the “seat of the soul,” also known as the Third Eye. This small organ, located at the centre of the brain, produces DMT, a compound believed to play a role in mystical states of consciousness. DMT is found in almost all plants and animals and has long been regarded by indigenous and ancient tribes as a key to our spiritual gateway.

For most people today, however, the Third Eye is calcified and dormant. The pineal gland plays a vital role in the production of both melanin and melatonin. Melanin is considered a primary nutrient for the pineal gland, while melatonin, a neurotransmitter produced by tryptophan, regulates our sleep/wake cycle and biological rhythms.

Chaga holds a rare and concentrated source of melanin, making it a powerful ally for pineal decalcification. By replenishing melanin, Chaga supports healthy melatonin production, protects subtle energy flow, and restores harmony to the body’s natural rhythms.

Melanin itself creates the pigment in our eyes and skin, and is produced by the amino acid tyrosine. Meanwhile, melatonin governs cycles of rest and renewal. Unfortunately, many toxins present in our food and environment contribute to pineal calcification, blocking its proper function and leading to decreased melatonin and natural DMT production.

Because Chaga is the most naturally dense source of melanin known, it offers a profound nutritional support for awakening the Third Eye. For shamans, Chaga has always been far more than medicine; rather, of being a sacred teacher and ally in visioning, ritual, and opening mystical states of consciousness.

Chaga is a powerful immune modulator and if you are on immune surpressing medication, it can counter act and it  should be avoided to take Chaga mushroom

If you are already taking a medicine like insulin, it is important to speak with your doctor to get a professional advice if Chaga is the right dietary supplement for you. This will ensure that your blood sugar levels won’t be affected by incorporating Chaga mushroom dietary supplements into your body.

Research suggests Chaga may hold blood thinning properties. People taking Warfarin or other blood thinning medication should avoid Chaga.

There is not enough scientific research on the safety for pregnant women and young children and there for suggest they should not consume Chaga without consulting a doctor first.

Chaga is such a  powerful adaptogenic, so if you take prescription medication you should speak to your doctor prior to taking Chaga, as a supplement, as it may interact with drugs in your system.
