Real • Unique Formula® Nutrition Balance

Chaga contains 29 long-chain polysaccharides, eight of which cannot be synthesized by the human body. Before undergoing the“Real Dual Extraction Technology,” the polysaccharide content in raw Chaga is less than 10%. Each Canadian Wild Chaga capsule retains about 50% of the polysaccharides after dual extraction.

According to 1996 research, Beta-Glucan involves to the activation of immune B cells and macrophages defense system. In addition, it offers several enzymes that associated with health status.

Triterpenoids have gained recognition in the maintenance of health.

Plant phenolics in Chaga may be more potent antioxidants than Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and carotenoids in vitro. It has been linked to resistance to oxidative stress caused by exposure to cigarette smoke UV light, and pollution.

Consuming phytosterols have shown promise to many different health issues.

According to research from the University of Illinois from 1996, high content of Betulinic Acid was found in its Chaga samples. The human digestive system cannot absorb betulinic acid from raw Chaga powder due to Chitin, which is a tough, semi-transparent substance that exists in the cell walls of Chaga.

In 2009, the University of Manitoba proved that Chaga possesses nutritional properties and that it reduces Nitric Oxide Production in a murine macrophage cell assay.

Melanin is one of the most powerful antioxidants existing in nature. Chaga has the highest sources of Melanin found in any food or herb (Cloud ear fungus, black sesame, berries, black-boned chicken, etc.)

Research at the US Department of Energy’s Savannah River National Laboratory, in collaboration with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, has provided insight into the electrochemical mechanism that gives the complex polymer, known as melanin, its long-term radioprotective properties. While the effect of radiation is associated with damage to the DNA, it is indirect and also associated with the generation of free radicals as well as the induction of oxidative stress. A study published in 2012 in the US National Library of Medicine confirmed the remarkable radioprotective properties of the melanized mushrooms were actually melanin-specific and due to other well-known therapeutic compounds within the fungi.

There are three basic types of Melanin, but only neuromelanin exists in Chaga. While the other two types of melanin assist the body with hair health and skin pigments, neuromelanin assists the human body in ridding the brain of oxidative stress. Humans possess the largest amount of Neuromelanin, with the amount of Neuromelanin dwindling in other human primates. Neuromelanin is non-existent in other species. Neuromelanin in humans has been shown to efficiently bind transition metals such as iron, as well as other potentially toxic molecules.

Melanin plays a role in embryological organization and tissue regeneration. In addition to its relation to homeostatic regulatory systems – autonomic, neuroendocrine, and immunological. Melanin is the main factor of embryos at the beginning of human life.

Canadian Wild Chaga is rich in potassium, manganese, magnesium, calcium, zinc, and other minerals. It restores the energy that the body needs to improve the immune system and maintain a healthy balance. Zinc is a critical constituent of Superoxide Dismutase, our most important innate antioxidant. Chaga is a vital source of potassium. Our dual extraction means that High-Potency Chaga Capsules contain more potassium than bananas and other fruits.

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is a natural antioxidant enzyme produced within the sclerotia of Chaga. SOD plays a significant role as a free radical scavenger.  It acts as a bodyguard, essentially protecting cellular health. In a lab test sponsored by Dove Health Alliance, the following mass-based comparison of SOD showed the following results:
