KÄÄPÄ Mushrooms - Chaga BIO, tincture (50 ml)

Product detailed description

This is because the dried fruiting body of the mushrooms went through a double-extraction process using hot water and alcohol at a ratio of 1:5. This is what makes the tincture so abundant in active ingredients that are easily absorbed by the body, as well as giving it its distinct zest. 

Why did this tincture win us over?

• It is created from the fruiting body of mushrooms, not from mycelium. All of the beneficial compounds in chaga mushrooms are contained in the part that is found above ground. Many manufacturers use lab-created mycelium, as a result of which their products can lack certain active ingredients.
• It is a result of double extraction. The cell wall of the mushrooms is made of the polysaccharide, chitin, which the human organism doesn’t know how to process. The double extraction method breaks down the chitin barrier using a combination of hot water, alcohol, and UAE (Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction) technology. By doing so the manufacturers were able to extract the substances that are dissolvable in both water and alcohol.
• It is concentrated and easy to digest. Every drop of the tincture delivers the maximum amount of active ingredients of chaga mushrooms to the body. In addition, UAE technology ensures that biologically active ingredients can be easily absorbed into the organism.
• The chaga mushrooms are sourced from the organic forests of Lappland. The mushrooms used to create the tincture grow in the wild in the arctic circle. They are collected responsibly and with the utmost respect for the balance of the forest ecosystem.  

Why do we regularly use chaga?

You may know the chaga mushroom by its nickname “the mushroom of immortality”, and it got this nickname for a reason. It is rich in many types of polysaccharides, mainly beta-glucans. They also contain triterpenes, as well as betulin and betulinic acids which chaga mushrooms acquire from the birch that they grow on. We also have to remind you of the beneficial phenols and phenolic compounds, the potent antioxidant melanin and a whole range of group B and D vitamins as well as beta-carotene. As far as minerals and trace elements go, there is no lack of magnesium, sodium, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese and the antioxidant germanium.  

Unfortunately, we can‘t reveal much more about the health benefits of these unique fungi due to current EU legislation regarding dietary supplements which prevents us from expanding on the above information, despite the fact that a whole range of scientific studies have already been devoted to the mushrooms and that they have been utilised in folk remedies for hundreds of years. For more information, try googling non-eCommerce websites.
