Chaga Mushroom Australia (extract)

Five reasons this is the best Chaga Mushroom in Australia

1.  Our Chaga mushroom is certified organic and is wild-harvested in Canada. This means it’s straight from nature, thrived in the freshest air and has lived through freezing cold conditions to culminate in the most potent superfood on the planet.
2. We do not source any Chaga or medicinal mushrooms from China. You can be sure you’re getting the best possible quality superfood products possible. Our organic Chaga mushroom passes stringent checks and undergoes regular third-party testing to ensure it’s of the highest quality.
3. Unlike other mushroom companies who only dual-extract chaga for three hours, our Chaga goes through a four to six-week process to bring out all its adaptogenic properties like beta-glucans, antioxidants, betulinic acid and vitamins, to name a few. But more on that later.
4.  As our organic Chaga mushroom is wild-harvested from birch trees, it contains no brown rice, which is a by-product of growing medicinal mushrooms on substrate- if you don’t know how to remove it.
5. Simply hold up our wild Chaga Extract next to a competitor’s dual Extract, and you’ll see the difference in colour and consistency rather than the runny versions that are currently sold on the market.

Chaga mushroom powder vs Extract – what’s the difference?

Most Chaga mushroom powder is sourced from China. While they’ve been using chaga mushrooms in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years, the poor quality soil, air pollution and overuse of chemicals offset the health benefits of this mushroom.

Even certified organic chaga mushroom powder, if it’s from China, can mean it’s laden with heavy metals, especially as it takes so long to grow.

As some Chaga mushrooms are grown on brown rice powder, most companies do not have the technology to remove the rice from the mycelium and fruiting body, so anywhere from 10-30% of your chaga mushroom powder is probably brown rice! It makes you wonder how they get away with charging up to $800 a kilo!

Our dual extraction method from wild Chaga is the most bioavailable way to consume Chaga mushroom. There are receptors under your tongue that open up when they come in contact with alcohol. So all the minerals, antioxidants, vitamins and other aspects of this incredible nutritional profile mushroom go straight into your system. So not only does it pack more punch, but your getting all the medicinal compounds minus the brown rice!

The same research went on to establish a reduction in tumours in rodents when given Chaga.
