Fighting Inflammation With Our Bulk Chaga Mushroom's 

High in antioxidants, chaga mushrooms have been found to help fight inflammation. When the body is fighting an illness, inflammation supports the fight. But sometimes, inflammation transitions from a short-term attack to a chronic health problem. Some illnesses, particularly chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, are linked to inflammation. Recent research suggests that some conditions that are not considered inflammatory — including depression — may be partly due to chronic inflammation. Chaga’s role in regulating cytokine production may also help control inflammation.*

Lowering Blood Sugar and Cholesterol

For those with insulin resistance, polycystic ovarian syndrome or Type 2 diabetes, using chaga mushroom may help reduce blood sugar levels and improve insulin resistance. Several studies show the potential — as much as a 31% decrease in blood sugar levels — but more research, especially on humans, is also needed. Chaga mushrooms contain many antioxidants and compounds that may reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the so-called bad cholesterol. High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for heart disease, so chaga mushrooms could be useful to protect against cardiovascular disease.*

Immune System Support

Cytokines are the immune system’s chemical messengers. They are proteins that play a vital role in stimulating white blood cells, which are the immune system’s first line of defense against a range of illnesses. Chaga may help regulate the production of cytokines, supporting the immune system by helping cells communicate with one another. This could help fight infections, from minor colds to life threatening illnesses.*

Fighting and Preventing Cancer

Chaga is rich in antioxidants. These are chemicals that help prevent cell damage caused by free radicals or oxidants. Oxidative stress occurs when the body cannot produce enough antioxidants to prevent this damage. Damage from oxidative stress can contribute to the development of many health conditions, including cancer. Many studies show the potential for chaga mushrooms to slow the growth of cancer cells.*

Frequently Asked Questions About Wholesale Chaga Mushrooms

Is Chaga mushroom extract the same as Chaga mushroom powder?

Not really. A mushroom extract powder contains potent phytonutrients derived from a careful CO2 extraction process and then freeze dried to lock in the goodness. This freeze dried material is then ground and sifted to a nutriceutical grade product for formulation of premium products. Most often products labeled "mushroom powder" are the material that is left over after the extraction process. These may still contain some natural nutrients and they are typically less expensive than mushroom extract powders, but significantly less potent in high value compounds. Buyer beware.
