Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a nutrient-dense medicinal mushroom classified as an adaptogen and a potent antioxidant. It is highly valued for its ability to support immune function, combat oxidative stress, and promote cellular health. Rich in beta-glucans, polyphenols, and the rare antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD), Chaga helps protect the body from environmental and metabolic stressors.

Chaga is particularly beneficial for those seeking to strengthen their immune defenses, support skin health, or reduce inflammation. The best results come from supplements made from wild-harvested fruiting bodies using hot water extraction to unlock bioactive compounds. Chaga can be taken any time of day, usually with or after meals, and pairs well with warm beverages like tea or coffee for enhanced absorption.
