The Amazement of Chaga

By Brandon Gilbert


Chaga Mushroom is also known as the 'Gift from God ' in Siberia, the 'Diamond of the Forest ' in Japan, and the 'King of Plants ' in China. This mushroom with several names is sometimes found growing in dense birches and is a powerful source of different nutriments. The employment of Chaga dates back to the beginning of Chinese medicine. Chaga is one of the East's open techniques in medical care and is more widely known for being avidly utilised for its anti-aging benefits and is increasingly used to promote longevity, boost the immunological response, help in fighting virus and bacteria and also to renew chi.

Unlike most mushrooms that grow on dead ones, Chaga grows on living trees and is thought of as a slow-growth fungus. It usually takes 15-20 years and even longer before it reaches maturity and considerably grows its beneficial nutriments as time elapses by. The birch is respected as a 'medicinal tree ' and the Chaga mushrooms spawning from it also contains the same healthy effects from its source. Chaga obtains botulin, known as immune-modulating, anti-mutagenic (helps protect and restrain an individual from genetic mutations and illnesses), anti-viral and anti inflammatory properties. 2nd to chocolate, Chaga has the most anti oxidant content with a 25% antioxidant makeup and a 23% advantage from other mushroom additions.

A chaga mushroom also contains SOD or superoxide dismutase, an enzyme that's naturally contained in our bodies. SOD assists in safeguarding the body from free radicals and the damaging results of oxygen especially the singlet oxygen which causes diseases and rapid aging.Naturally found in our skin, SOD is answerable for reviving the skin through skin-cell reconstructing, in effect slows down growing older. Categorical to Chaga are the phenolic compounds that protect tissues. Skin tissues particularly, phenolic are present that contains pigments like melanin, helps regain skin color and achieve more radiant look.

Also loaded in minerals, enzymes and various B vitamins, Chaga is a nutritive powerhouse. A Chaga mushroom is also considered one of the world's abounding sources of pantothenic acid and is very rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc and potassium.

Chaga contains a high 30% content of polysaccharides.Polysaccharides are accountable for the mushroom's bitter taste. Neither stimulating nor depressing these polysaccharides helps bring your body back to its proper state of balance. Though some mushrooms leave a sour taste, the vanillin content of a chaga mushroom gives you the soft undertones of vanilla taste and an extra dose of its anti-tumor and anti-oxidant properties.
