Immunomodulating activity of polysaccharides from Inonotus obliquus
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2005
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.
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.
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.
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.
