Chaga

At the heart of Chaga’s magic are its triterpenoids, like inonotsuoxide A and inotodiol. These compounds don’t just boost your immune system—they help regulate it, waking' up natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages, the body’s frontline defenders. It’s like calling in reinforcements when your body’s in need, whether you’re fighting infections or tumors. And inotodiol? That one’s a powerhouse, showing potential to fight cancerous cells by activating immune surveillance, all while keeping your body balanced.

 

Chaga’s also got a serious antioxidant game, thanks to its rich load of phenolic compounds. These antioxidants are like your body’s cleanup crew, scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, which can damage cells and lead to all kinds of chronic issues—heart disease, diabetes, even neurodegenerative disorders. Then there’s lanosterol, another Chaga gem, with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping' protect your tissues from oxidative damage and keeping' you strong.

 

When it comes to fighting inflammation and even potentially the c-word, Chaga’s not shy about showing up. Trametenolic acid—a key player—has been studied for its ability to inhibit inflammation and stop cancer cells in their tracks. 

 

But Chaga’s wisdom doesn’t stop with immune support. It’s got a soft spot for metabolic health too. Those bioactive polysaccharides inside Chaga help regulate blood sugar and insulin sensitivity, which means your body can handle glucose better, keeping type 2 diabetes at bay. And inotodiol, again, shines as it works on lipid metabolism, helping reduce fat accumulation in the liver.

 

And you wanna talk about protection? Chaga’s got your liver covered. With its triterpenoids like inotodiol and lanosterol, Chaga helps detoxify and shield your liver from toxins and oxidative stress, the kind that can lead to diseases like cirrhosis or hepatitis. These same compounds also help the liver regenerate, keepin’ it strong even after a hit.

 

And then there’s skin—Chaga’s got a natural touch when it comes to keeping you looking youthful. With trametenolic acid and lanosterol, Chaga can reduce inflammation, protect against UV damage, and even promote collagen synthesis. That means fewer wrinkles, fewer age spots—just healthy, radiant skin. The antioxidants inside Chaga are like a shield against the elements, slowing down the aging process and protecting' your skin from the daily grind.

 

Take 2-4 capsules daily – Everyone's needs are unique, so finding the perfect timing for your daily boost is key!

Safety and Tolerability:

Generally Safe: Chaga is generally considered safe for consumption, with few reported side effects. However, individuals taking anticoagulants or antidiabetic medications should exercise caution, as Chaga may enhance their effects. It is also important to source Chaga from reputable suppliers to avoid contamination with heavy metals or other toxins.

Mild Side Effects: Some mild side effects reported in studies include gastrointestinal discomfort or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Long-term studies on Chaga’s safety are still limited, so it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before using Chaga for therapeutic purposes, especially in high doses or long-term use.

Finding Your Perfect Timing

 

Morning Motivation:

Many people find that taking the supplement in the morning helps set the tone for a productive day. This is an ideal time to fuel your brain and body with the nutrients needed to stay sharp and focused from sunrise to sunset.

 

Afternoon Focus: 

If you tend to experience an afternoon slump, consider taking your dose in the early afternoon. This can help you maintain steady energy levels and mental clarity. For best results, take 30-60 minutes after lunch to avoid any interference with digestion and ensure smooth absorption.

 

Double Dose:

Need an extra edge? You can split your intake by taking one dose in the morning and another in the afternoon. This approach is perfect for those with a demanding schedule or who need sustained focus and energy throughout the day. Just be sure to listen to your body and adjust the dosage accordingly.

 

Consistency is Key

 

To truly experience the benefits, find the timing that best suits your schedule and stick to it consistently for 4-6 weeks. This allows your body to adjust and maximize the effects of the formula.

By working closely with our growers and communities, we strive to bring you the highest quality plant extracts, grounded in tradition and grown with a vision for the future.

 

Land Offering and Prayer | We honor the sacred connection to the earth through a land offering before beginning our medicine-making process. We infuse each step with positive energy and intention, ensuring that only good vibes flow into the creation of our products. Through prayer, we express gratitude and invite guidance, weaving spiritual care and respect into every blend we craft.

Our Plant and Plant Extract Process | Our commitment to quality starts with the passionate growers who cultivate our plants and produce our extracts. Each plant is carefully selected and tested for its key bioactive compounds and purity, ensuring that you receive the most potent and effective products.

Our commitment to quality continues with our partnership with our mushroom producer, a leading Canadian supplier revolutionizing the functional mushroom market. Led by seasoned industry experts, focused on the science of bioactive compounds that give each mushroom its unique benefits—like Cordyceps for energy and Reishi for relaxation.

At their state-of-the-art facility in British Columbia, using unique patented methods to produce mushrooms with higher concentrations of these key compounds, setting a new standard in the industry. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure maximum purity, potency, and effectiveness, far beyond outdated measures like generic beta-glucan levels.

Ensuring the highest quality is our top priority. By partnering with a local Canadian grower we are not only supporting our local market but ensuring consistency and superior quality. 

 

The Process

The mushrooms undertake a unique growth process the result of years of research and collaboration with expert mushroom cultivators. A developed method that we believe produces the highest quality mushroom powder on the market, verified by third-party lab tests focusing on key bioactive compounds.

Superfood Substrate |  Beginning with a nutrient-rich superfood substrate, which serves as the foundation for mushroom growth.

Mushroom Spawn | Next, the mushroom spawn is introduced, which begins to grow mycelium—the network of fungal threads that spread throughout the substrate.

Fermentation & Enzyme Production | As the mycelium grows, it ferments the substrate, producing vital digestive and immune-boosting enzymes.

Fruit Body Formation | For species like Lion’s Mane and Reishi, the mycelium eventually gives rise to fruiting bodies, which are the visible parts of the mushroom.

Full Spectrum Harvest | We capture all parts of the mushroom—mycelium, fruiting bodies, and the beneficial enzymes—drying and milling them into a potent, full-spectrum superfood powder. This ensures you get the complete benefits of the mushroom without any fillers.

 

Preserving Potency | To maintain the integrity of the bioactive compounds, drying and milling processes are done at low temperatures, preventing the loss of key nutrients that can occur with high-heat methods.

By refining every step of this process, we ensure the mushroom powders deliver the full range of health benefits, backed by science and unmatched in quality.
