Chaga, often hailed as “the king of mushrooms,” has been revered for centuries in traditional medicine across Siberia, Russia, and other parts of northern Europe and Asia. Historically, it was brewed as a tea or ground into a powder by indigenous Siberian tribes, who believed it to be a source of strength, resilience, and longevity. In Russian folklore, Chaga was referred to as a “Gift from God” and was considered vital for supporting health during harsh winters. Known for its high concentration of bioactive compounds, particularly polysaccharides and antioxidants, Chaga has been traditionally used to support vitality, energy, and support the body’s ability to cope with daily stress. The mushroom has a rich history of use among the Khanty and other indigenous Siberian groups for supporting immune health and fighting fatigue.

Traditional and Scientific Uses:

• Supports a healthy gut
• Rich In antioxidants
• Traditionally used to support health

Study Overview:

Research suggests that mushrooms are abundant in polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and other antioxidants both found abundantly in Chaga. Polysaccharides have only recently been studied for their potential to support a healthy gut microbiota in healthy humans, although more scientific research is required.
