Wild Siberian Chaga Extract from Dragon Herbs

Chaga (Sprängticka) is a highly valued tree fungus. It grows wild in old forests in colder regions of northern Asia and northern Europe. The ultimate chaga is said to come from subarctic Siberian birch forests, where this product from Dragon Herbs originates.

What is the difference between chaga powder and chaga extract?

Chaga belongs to the family of tree fungi. It has a structure that is practically impossible for our digestion to extract anything from in its raw form. Extract powder (as in these capsules) is already processed, so you can simply mix it in and enjoy it in, for example, a cup of hot tea or a smoothie. If you buy a powder that is not an extract, you must first brew tea from it or make your own extract.

Dragon Herbs Chaga is extracted using a special controlled extraction technique. Both water and alcohol are used in the extraction, and as a result, all bioactive components in the Chaga remain. It took a lot of work to perfect this Chaga extraction. Dragon Herbs spent several years testing different extraction methods before arriving at this highest quality product with optimal levels of active components.

The antioxidant activity of hot water extract Chaga has been compared with other mushrooms (Agaricus blazei Mycel, Ganoderma lucidum, and Phellinus linteus) by Japanese researchers, and it was found that Chaga has the strongest antioxidant activity among those studied.

Chaga consists of two visually distinguishable parts: black (mainly outside) and orange-brown (mainly inside). The "black" part is rich in melanin. At 20 years of age, Siberian Chaga is considered fully mature. The vast majority of Chaga on the market has not reached maturity and may be only 3 or 4 years old.

About Chaga:

Chaga is an adaptogenic mushroom and is often called the "King of Mushrooms." One of the body's most important antioxidants is an enzyme called SOD (superoxide dismutase). Chaga contains the highest amount of SOD of all known foods, which explains its high ORAC value (antioxidant value).

Chaga also naturally contains vitamins, minerals, trace elements, polysaccharides, betulinic acid, melanin, phytonutrients, ergosterol, beta-glucans, saponins, sterols, triterpenes, and amino acid complexes.

Dosage for adults: Chaga is safe to consume and can be used daily in moderate amounts. A dose of 1 capsule 1-3 times per day usually works for most people to maintain general good health. Take with a little water; it is also excellent to open the capsules and make hot tea.

The 3 Treasures are:

Jing - our original energy.

Qi - the energy that circulates and is used in daily life.

Shen - our soul or "wisdom mind."

When these three are strong and in harmony, it is said that a person is in "health beyond danger" and on the way to living a long, wise, and happy life. This is the foundation, according to Taoists, for expressing our full potential as human beings.

One way to look at it is to liken our being to a candle;

Jing is the wax itself - the fundamental energy that nourishes the other two.

Qi is the wick - what makes it possible for the light to burn.

Shen is the light or the flame itself; what illuminates, spreads light and warmth around it, and how brightly it burns.
