If you’re into wellness, superfoods, or natural health, you’ve probably heard of Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) often called the King of Medicinal Mushrooms. Unlike other mushrooms, Chaga doesn’t look like much it’s a dark, charcoal-like growth found on birch trees. But don’t let its rough exterior fool you: inside, Chaga is packed with some of the most potent antioxidants in the natural world.

• Immune strength

• Cellular protection

Today, researchers are studying its potential for reducing inflammation, supporting immune function, and fighting oxidative stress a key contributor to aging and chronic disease.
