How are we different?
Potent medicinal mushrooms have been grown in China for hundreds of years, and to this day the most nutrient-rich mushrooms come from Chinese cultivars. For over 2,000 years, the traditions of Chinese medicine have been applied to the cultivation of these mushrooms for a host of medicinal uses. Mushroom cultivation in China has furthermore been so refined that farmed variants are in no way inferior to their wild-grown counterparts. Our chaga are sourced directly from the globally-recognised mushroom-growing region of Gutian County in Fujian. Our farming partner is organically certified according to EU standards and places a high value on natural, traditional cultivation methods. The mushrooms are selectively harvested by hand between July and October for maximum nutritional value.
Mushrooms are composed of the fruiting body, which typically appears above ground, and the mycelium underneath. The most important nutrients are concentrated in the fruiting body. Products derived from the mycelium are frequently much cheaper because mycelia are cultivated faster, cheaper, and easier. Yet these products hardly contain any of the potent compounds of the mushroom. Our mushroom powders and extracts are exclusively made from the entire fruiting body of the mushroom (including the stem) and contain the full nutritional richness that the mushrooms have to offer.
The most important nutrients within the chaga are the mushroom polysaccharides, especially beta-1,3-glucan and beta-1,6-glucan. Our mushroom extracts consolidate these compounds into a highly effective concentrate. The extract is produced according to a traditional method using only water and edible ethanol. The result is a pure and wholesome extract with absolutely no toxic extraction residues or chemical release agents (such as acetone, n-hexane, methanol).

Chaga
Chaga
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus; Fungus betulinus; "clinker polypore")
The chaga mushroom is native to Siberia and northern China. This type of mushroom flourishes on birch trees, and is most commonly found in the birch forests of Russia, Northern and Eastern Europe, Canada, Alaska and Northern USA, Korea and Japan. Inhabitants of Siberia have long brewed strong teas from the mushroom and call the drink a "gift from God". Chaga has enjoyed a 4,000-year-long history in traditional Russian and Chinese medicine, where it has been used as a natural remedy for stomach and intestinal illnesses and for general strengthening of the body.
In Russia and Siberia, the chaga mushroom is not only used for medicinal purposes, but also for shaman rituals, especially among the Khanty people, who gave chaga its common name. Chaga has also been considered a medicinal mushroom by the Ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, indigenous peoples of North America, and the indigenous Ainu people of Japan.
The use of chaga is quite similar across cultures: the mushroom is almost always taken as a tea. The wood-like mushroom is dried and broken, and the resulting chunks and powder are used to prepare a tea which has a strong, earthy taste.
Modern research has identified over 200 active biological substances found in chaga. It is particularly rich in polyphenols, various complex polysaccharides, melanin, beta-glucans, betulinic acid, alkaloids, tannins, triterpenes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), amino acids, and minerals.
Dark on the Outside, Light on the Inside
From the outside, chaga does not look like a typical mushroom, but rather like burned coal ("clinker") with a hard, brittle surface and cork-like texture. Chaga are dark brown or black with greyish-white spots. The hard crust is dark due to its high melanin content. High-quality chaga has a light amber colour on the inside.
Cultivation & Processing
Cultivation & Processing
Our medicinal mushrooms are sourced from the renowned mushroom-growing region of Gutian County (600-700m above sea level), in Fujian, China. The cultivation of mushrooms is an age-old tradition in the region, as is reflected by the unparalleled quality of these mushrooms. The fertile land, sophisticated substrates, as well as the climate, all contribute to a uniquely nutritious end product. Moreover, these pristine lands are protected by dense mountain forests, thus providing an ideal environment for the mushrooms to thrive. Our untreated mushrooms are certified organically grown according to EU standards. They are grown to full maturity and hand-picked at the peak of their vitality, between July and October.
In order to further preserve the high concentration of beta-glucans contained in the mushrooms, the gently dried and milled fruiting bodies of the mushroom are prepared as an extract. The extract is produced according to a traditional method using only water and edible ethanol. Water-ethanol extraction has been a part of Chinese as well as Western medicine for centuries, and has long been used to create plant extracts. The result is a pure, wholesome extract with absolutely no toxic extraction residues or chemical release agents (such as acetone, n-hexane, or methanol).
