The History, Use, And Benefits Of Chaga
Chaga is a potent immune booster and longevity tonic that has been used for centuries in Siberia's near-Arctic regions. Extensive testing and numerous clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy in promoting immune function and exhibiting anti-tumor and anti-cancer properties.*
Since chaga is indigestible to humans, it must be extracted using water and alcohol. Our chaga extract is standardized and uses a water/alcohol extraction method based on clinical trial chaga extracts.
