HISTORY OF MUSHROOMS
Functional mushrooms have a deep-rooted history in traditional medicine. For instance, Russians and Scandinavians have long recognized the health benefits of Chaga. Derived from the old Russian word for "mushroom," Chaga has been utilized by indigenous people like the Siberian Khanty for its diverse health benefits. On the other hand, functional mushrooms have historical ties to spiritual practices as well. Buddhist monks were known to use powdered Lion's Mane to enhance brain focus during meditation. These mushrooms, valued for their immune support and cognitive benefits, have been integral to holistic wellness practices for centuries.

CHAGA MUSHROOMS
HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants are like your body's shield against harm. They can be measured using something called the ORAC value.
ORAC value: Measures how effective a substance is at neutralizing harmful free radicals in the body.
Chaga boasts one of the highest ORAC values in the world.
CONTAINS STEROLS
Chaga mushrooms have been found to contain sterols. Sterols are organic compounds naturally presents in plants, animals, and fungi. The chemical structure of sterols closely resembles cholesterol.
Chaga's sterol's and digestive cholesterol play a game of "musical chairs" in your digestive system, and the sterols typically win.
As a result, your body excretes some of the cholesterol as a waste. This suggests that Chaga has potential to assist in managing cholesterol levels.
