Inonotus obliquus [in-on-oh-tus Ohb-lee-kuss]

Chaga is a potent source of beta-glucans and triterpenes; which essentially means that it keeps you healthy and helps ward off colds and infections.

The polysaccharides within chaga are known to have an anti-inflammatory property and melanins which promote hair and nail health.

You can find these big hunks of mycelial mass growing on birch trees in cold climates, such as: the forests of Alaska, Northern Canada, Northern Europe, Korea, Russia and Siberia.

• Chaga is most commonly found on birch trees and takes 15-20 years to reach full maturity! During this time, it absorbs vitamins and minerals from the trees, and after extracting these elements, they are bio-available to the human body. We sustainably source our chaga and no trees are harmed in the harvesting process.
• Chaga is not technically a mushroom, though it is often referred to as one. Rather, it is a hardened mass of mycelium (the under-layer of growth that produces mushrooms).
