The King of Antioxidants
Wild-harvested from birch trees in the pristine boreal forests of Northern Europe and Russia, Chaga holds one of the highest ORAC antioxidant scores of any natural substance on Earth.
Family
Hymenochaetaceae
Origin
Northern Europe, Russia, Canada, Northern USA
Primary Benefit
Antioxidant & Immunity
Inonotus obliquus is a parasitic fungus that grows primarily on birch trees in cold northern climates. Unlike conventional mushrooms, the part used medicinally is the sterile conk — a dense, charcoal-black mass formed over many years of growth. This slow maturation concentrates extraordinary levels of bioactive compounds, particularly its unique melanin complex and betulinic acid derived from the birch host. Chaga's ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score is among the highest of any natural substance, making it a premier antioxidant ingredient. Its immune-modulating beta-glucans and anti-inflammatory properties round out a comprehensive health profile.
Highest ORAC Antioxidant Score
Chaga's ORAC value of ~146,700 µmol TE/100g is among the highest of any natural food or supplement, providing powerful free radical neutralization.
Powerful Immune Modulation
Beta-glucans and polysaccharides activate macrophages, NK cells, and cytokine production, supporting robust immune surveillance.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Betulinic acid and inotodiol inhibit NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, reducing systemic inflammatory markers.
Digestive Health Support
Polysaccharides act as prebiotics, supporting beneficial gut microbiota and intestinal barrier integrity.
Anti-Aging Cellular Protection
Melanin complex and SOD protect DNA and cellular structures from oxidative damage associated with aging.
