A Mushroom So Potent, It’s Practically Magic
The anti-inflammatory nature of Chaga derives from a combination of triterpenes (chemical compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties) such as Betulin and Betulinic Acid, which can be found in birch trees to protect them from extreme temperatures and radiation. Betulinic acid supports your immune system, healthy cell division and also helps to break down ‘bad’ cholesterol in your bloodstream.
The beta-glucans (a soluble dietary fiber) in Chaga also have a positive effect on cholesterol levels, which can lower high blood pressure and promote a healthy cardiovascular system.
Chaga is a natural BRM (Biological Response Modifier), which stimulates the body’s immune function when needed and normalizes it when overactive, making Chaga adaptogenic.
Chaga has proven to help ease the negative effects of chemotherapy and radiation on the immune system, such as like nausea, insomnia, and fatigue.
The sclerotium (the black outer layer of Chaga) contains high amounts of fungi-melanin, making Chaga a powerful anti-aging supplement than promotes better cell regeneration and revitalization for your skin, hair and organs.
Chaga’s Zinc, Iron, Copper and Manganese content stimulate the production of SOD (superoxide dismutase) in your body. Enzymes that play an important role in protecting your body from free radicals that cause damage to your cells. SOD is also present in Chaga, which is essential to its survival on the host tree.
Chaga contains numerous B vitamins and various phytonutrients (plant nutrients) — including flavonoids and phenols, which are also powerful antioxidants that can boost your immune system.
The Wildest ‘Shroom in the Forest
Chaga has an extremely high ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity) — which measures the ability to absorb and stop dangerous oxidation and free radicals before they can cause damage to your cells and accelerate aging.

“I tried Chaga to mix things up in my regular coffee routine. Chaga is rich, delicious, dark and a great alternative. The little tin is great for travelling as I don’t have to carry my whole coffee set (beans, aeropress, coffee grinder)!”

High Quality, Sustainably Hand-Harvested Wild Siberian Chaga Extract
Our Wild Chaga is sustainably sourced from Siberian birch forests, where Chaga is carefully harvested and has long been recognized as an official ailment medicine.
It goes through a dual water extraction process to create its fine, powder texture. Extraction is arguably the only way to truly benefit from Chaga, as it enables our body can absorb the bioactive ingredients that make this medicinal mushroom the healer it is.
In the past, traditional extraction methods would take many hours (to even days!) of steeping Chaga in hot water to get some good out of it.
As a result, Wild Remedies Premium Chaga contains 57% chromogenic complex — a set of humic acids and melanin that are responsible for the high amount of antioxidants found in the mushroom.
To give you a more enriching and soothing tea experience, we blend our extract with organic Ceylon Cinnamon, a fellow anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial ingredient that is also known for its delicious taste.
Wild Remedies is 100% Vegan, Gluten and Dairy Free.

Is Chaga safe ?
Yes, chaga is a natural health supplement that is safe for everyone including children and even pets!
If you’re on prescription medication, it’s a good idea to consult your physician before consuming chaga.
Do be aware that chaga may interact with antidiabetic and anticoagulant drugs.
Chaga should also not be taken with penicillin or intravenous injections of glucose.
These are the only significant side effects have been noted.
Why is Wild Remedies Chaga considered "premium" ?
Wild chaga contains considerably more nutrients and is the only form that contains chromogenic complex – a set of humic acids and melanin which are responsible for the very high amount of antioxidants only found in chaga.
Wild Remedies Chaga is 100% wild grown and hand picked from live birch trees in the forests of Siberia.
Raw Chaga Chunks
Chaga can be consumed by steeping raw chunks of the mushroom for 8-12 hours. This is great for making large quantities of tea, however raw chaga possess only 15-18% of the Chromogenic complex.
Powdered
Chaga can also be purchased as a form of tea or capsules – where raw chaga is ground into powder and consumed by steeping in water or swallowing in capsule form. This form contains the same chromogenic complex as regular raw chaga.
Tincture
Chaga in tincture form is manufactured by grinding raw chaga to developing a liquid extraction with alcohol. This makes a longer lasting chaga product with a similar chromogenic complex to the raw and powdered chaga.
Extract
More nutrients can be drawn from the chaga mushroom through an extraction process which creates a fine, highly concentrated “instant coffee” type powder that melts easily into water, smoothies, or other recipes.
Some suppliers use chemicals during the extraction process, however staying true to our commitment to providing only the best quality, natural product, Wild Remedies Chaga is extracted by a hot water process.
Non-extracted products are mostly indigestible (= low bioavailability) and can never deliver therapeutically useful levels of the active ingredients.
Good chaga extract should contain a minimum of of 40% chromogenic complex.
Wild Remedies chaga extract contains slightly over 57% chromogenic complex, which is the highest concentration currently available.

Does Chaga cure serious diseases like cancer ?
Wild Remedies Chaga Extract is neither a drug nor medicine and is classified as a dietary food supplement.
It is has been reported that Chaga makes a remarkably effective remedy when used in the treatment cancer, since it contains a high amount of an active anti-tumour chemical called Inotodiol. Other known active ingredients include Betulin and Lupeol, also found in Birch and other kinds of tree bark, which was used by Native Americans to treat such things as Insect Bites, Skin Irritations, Tumours, Lymphatic disorders and Tuberculosis.
It’s noted that Chaga’s Polysaccharide and Chromogenic Complex content help to rid the body of Free Radicals. Chaga has also been shown to have antiviral properties that are used in the fight against HIV as well as in the treatment of chronic inflammation of stomach, stomach ulcers, and diseases of Duodenum, Liver and Spleen.
In the 1950’s the Russian Leningrad Botanical Institute, developed a tonic called Befungin (a mixture of Chaga extract and cobalt salts) which was and still is used as a prophylactic, to treat ulcers and gastritis, as a treatment during the early stages of cancer and to battle the side effects of standard anti-cancer treatments such as chemotherapy.
Chaga has been found to have a favorable effect on the central nervous system and metabolic processes, and boosts immunity to infections. Tea preparations were found to greatly alleviate the suffering in cancer patients by relieving pain and improving appetite.

Will Chaga make me look younger ?
Oxidative stress plays a central role in aging at the cellular level. (Masaki 2010). It breaks down protein (collagen), alters cellular renewal cycles, damages DNA, and promotes the release of pro-inflammatory mediators (cytokines), which trigger the generation of inflammatory skin diseases. It is also established that free radicals participate in the pathogenesis of allergic reactions in the skin (Burke 2009; Fisher 2009; Pascucci 2010; Massaki 2010; Rock 2011).
ANTIoxidants fight the oxidation process and combat free radicals that cause the skin and body to age, as well as protect against oxidative diseases such as cancer.
The bioactives responsible for antioxidant action are in particular polyphenols and natural phenols. In Chaga these are mainly found in the black outside of the fungus, the sclerotium. This sclerotium contains massive amounts of the natural black pigment known as melanin, which has a high antioxidant potential.
Because Chaga is one of the highest known natural sources of antioxidants, it has the ability to neutralize oxidative stress, fix and prevent DNA damage caused by free radicals, provide geno-protective qualities, and protect against the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation (like in sunlight) and gamma radiation.
Wild Remedies Chaga Extract includes the sclerotium (the black outside layer) of the Chaga mushroom. This is important, because this part contains a massive amount of a specific fungi-melanin, our Chaga a very high level of antioxidants and turning Chaga into powerful anti-aging tool.
Is harvesting wild Chaga sustainable ?
Where we source it from – yes.
Russian sources state that 1 – 20% of birch trees in Russia show signs of hosting Chaga.
An extensive study concluded that Chaga resources in Russia are so immense, that even under the most pessimistic estimates, chaga will likely never be biologically threatened. (source)
However, because Chaga’s biological properties are being investigated for immunological-enhancing and anti-cancer properties, the world market for Chaga is expanding. As harvesters will need to go deeper into the forest to collect Chaga, the price of the medicinal mushroom could rise substantially.
What does Chaga taste like ?
Chaga itself is very mild in flavour. In contains natural vanillin flavenoids which gives it a bit of vanilla flavour.
Wild Remedies Chaga is infused with Organic Ceylon Cinnamon. Basically it’s like Christmas in a cup! <3
Does Chaga contain caffeine ?
No. Chaga has a similar appearance to coffee but does not contain any caffeine.
Chaga does however, naturally promote higher energy levels.
