In vitro, chaga has demonstrated antitumor, anti-mutagenic, antiviral, antiplatelet, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and analgesic effects. In vivo studies also demonstrate immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties (1).
Oral administration of polysaccharides from chaga increased exercise endurance and biological measures related to fatigue. Antidiabetic effects have also been observed (1).
Chaga extracts and constituents have demonstrated inhibitory and proapoptotic effects against colon, lung, and liver cancer cells. Inotodiol from chaga exerted antitumor effects against cervical cancer cells. In some studies, chaga demonstrated selective apoptosis in tumor cells with no effects on healthy cells. In animal models, it inhibited melanoma cell growth (1).
Our organic mushroom extracts are prepared using a hot water extraction method, to ensure bioavailability of the beneficial polysaccharide constituents, and contain only 100% pure fruiting body. We scientifically verify and ensure, via 3rd party testing, beta-D-glucan percents, and our extracts contain absolutely no grains, rice, or fillers. This is unlike many other medicinal mushroom extracts, which are actually just the mushroom root structure (mycelium) grown on grain, and do not contain the actual fruiting body. Our Chaga mushroom extract is guaranteed to contain > 10% Beta-D-glucan content.
