A hot water extracted chaga tincture sourced from wild harvested Inonotus obliquus mycelia from the birch forests of Quebec, Canada. Delivered in an alcohol free vegetable glycerin base. Each drop provides 50 mg of chaga mycelia extract. 

What Is Chaga?

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a fungus that grows on birch trees in cold northern climates. It has been used in traditional wellness practices across northern Europe, Russia, and Canada for centuries. The chaga in this formula is wild harvested from the birch forests of Quebec a pristine, cold climate source with a long history of traditional use.

Why Hot Water Extraction?

Hot water extraction is the method used to preserve the water-soluble bioactive compounds in chaga primarily fungal polysaccharides and beta-glucans. These are the compounds responsible for chaga’s Health Canada licensed use as a source of fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties. Without hot water extraction, these compounds remain locked within the fungal cell walls and are not bioavailable.

Why Alcohol Free?

This tincture uses vegetable glycerin instead of ethanol as the solvent and carrier making it suitable for those who prefer or require an ethanol free supplement. Vegetable glycerin is a plant derived compound widely used in food and supplement products. Potassium sorbate is included as a food grade preservative to maintain stability.

Clinical Research

Immunomodulating activity of polysaccharides from Inonotus obliquus

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2005

This study investigated the immunomodulating properties of beta glucan polysaccharides extracted from Inonotus obliquus (chaga) mycelia using hot water extraction. The polysaccharides were found to modulate immune cell activity in vitro, supporting the biological basis for chaga's traditional use as an immunomodulating agent. The authors noted that hot water extraction was essential for isolating the water soluble polysaccharide fraction responsible for immunomodulating activity, as these compounds are not accessible without aqueous extraction. The study concluded that chaga polysaccharides represent a well characterized class of fungal immunomodulators with a strong traditional use history.

Antioxidant properties of Inonotus obliquus: phenolic compounds and free radical scavenging

Food Chemistry, 2010

This study evaluated the antioxidant capacity of chaga mushroom extracts, identifying melanin pigments, phenolic compounds, and polyphenols as the primary contributors to free radical scavenging activity. Chaga was found to have among the highest antioxidant activity of any studied medicinal mushroom, attributed to its unique melanin content derived from its growth on birch trees. The authors concluded that chaga is a potent natural source of antioxidants

Beta glucans from medicinal mushrooms: immunological activity and mechanisms

International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms, 2011

This comprehensive review examined the immunological activity of beta glucan polysaccharides derived from medicinal mushrooms including Inonotus obliquus. Beta-glucans were found to interact with immune cell receptors, modulating innate immune responses. The review highlighted that the bioavailability and activity of fungal beta-glucans is directly dependent on extraction method, with hot water extraction identified as the most effective method for preserving immunologically active polysaccharide fractions. The authors concluded that hot water extracted fungal polysaccharides represent a well supported class of natural immunomodulators.
