Description
Chaga is a unique fungus that grows wild on birch trees throughout Siberia, Eastern Europe, Asia and North America. It is believed to be one of the most powerful healing fungi found on earth, and is often heralded as the ‘diamond of the forest’. Chaga mushrooms absorb nutrients from the birch trees which are then supplied to those who consume them. Ten pounds of Chaga mushrooms are concentrated into one pound of fine extract powder, for a highly absorbable product that’s ready to be used.
What Are The Health Benefits Of Chaga Mushrooms?
