Organic Chaga Extract Supplement - Mushroom Extract to Boost Immune Health
tab:// [ Allemand ] /
What is chaga composed of?
Recent chemical tests have shown that chaga contains more than 200 types of active substance (8). The most significant of these are the beta-glucan polysaccharides which are responsible for most of the mushroom’s blood sugar-lowering, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects (9-10), as well as its benefits for the immune system.
Our Organic Chaga Extract supplement contains a high level of these polysaccharides due to the water extraction used to obtain the chaga sporophores. This method of extraction also enables the following compounds to be preserved:
Melanin, a remarkable antioxidant which also has blood sugar-lowering properties (11).
Hispidin, which has beneficial effects against abnormal cells.
Betulinic acid, another anti-proliferative compound. This is the characteristic white powdery substance you see on the bark of birch trees which chaga tends to accumulate.
What additional measures can be combined with chaga supplementation?
To benefit from chaga’s tonic effects, Siberian nomads would remove part of the mushroom from the birch and add it to hot water to make a tea. But with SuperSmart’s Organic Chaga Extract, standardised in polysaccharides for maximum effect, you can simply swallow a capsule instead.
In addition, we recommend you take the following three steps throughout the supplementation period:
Increase your level of physical activity (even if it’s only slightly) and exercise regularly (12-13).
Ensure you get enough sleep (at least 7 hours a night in general).
Take a quality multivitamin such as Daily 3® to prevent what is in fact widespread deficiency in micronutrients. The quality of your immune response will be affected by a lack of even one of these micronutrients: zinc, selenium, iron, copper, calcium, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin E.
If your immune system is seriously compromised, you could also take an extract of green propolis alongside your chaga supplement.
Attention: taking chaga is contraindicated for type 1 diabetics, those suffering from coagulation problems and those who’ve undergone a transplant.
