FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CHAGA

What does a real Siberian chaga mushroom look like?

The chaga in the picture is real Siberian chaga.

Is Russian Siberian Chaga Better Than Chaga from Other Regions?

Yes, the Siberian chaga we offer is superior because it is wild-grown in the pristine forests of Siberia. Siberia’s extreme climate, with harsh winters lasting 7-8 months and temperatures dropping significantly, creates the ideal conditions for chaga mushrooms to thrive. Chaga harvested in these conditions contains significantly more biologically active compounds than those from other regions. This is supported by certificates of analysis. In contrast, cultivated (artificially grown) chaga lacks these potent properties and is considered far less effective.

Which is Better: Chaga Tea or Chaga Extract?

What is Chaga Tea? Chaga tea is made from dried and ground chaga mushrooms. When properly brewed, it offers a pleasant flavor and provides some health benefits. However, the concentration of biologically active compounds in chaga tea is relatively low compared to other forms.

What is Chaga Extract? Chaga extract is a highly concentrated powder made through a hot water extraction process. Rich in antioxidants and packed with health-promoting compounds, chaga extract is becoming increasingly popular as a potent dietary supplement due to its superior concentration and effectiveness compared to tea.

Is your chaga extract safe?

Yes, our chaga extract is completely safe when taken in the recommended amounts. To date, we have not received any complaints from our customers, nor have we heard any reports of adverse reactions.

I've heard that Siberian chaga extract is an anticancer medicine. Is that true?

Siberian chaga extract is not a drug or medicine. It is currently classified as a dietary supplement. We recommend that you do your own research and have a look at the various studies that have been carried out in other countries here.

Can you provide Certificate of Analysis for your chaga extract?

Where Do You Source Your Chaga?

Our premium-quality Siberian chaga is harvested from select, pristine regions where it thrives best. On the map, green areas represent general chaga-growing regions, while the yellow areas pinpoint the limited locations where the medicinal Siberian chaga truly flourishes. We carefully collect our chaga from the unspoiled taiga forests of Eastern Siberia, the Altai Mountains, the Tomsk region, northern Irkutsk, and Khakassia. These remote areas, with winter temperatures dropping as low as -50°C, are sparsely populated, free from industrial pollution, and offer ecologically pure, uncontaminated chaga.

Is Your Chaga Wild-Harvested or Cultivated?

Our chaga is hand-harvested exclusively from wild birch trees in the untouched Siberian taiga, ensuring it is 100% wild-grown and naturally potent.

Is There Fake Chaga Extract on the Market?

Yes, some chaga products on the market are not genuine. Here are a few common issues to watch for:

- Fermented vs. Wild Chaga: Some extracts are made from fermented chaga rather than wild-harvested chaga. This process diminishes the full spectrum of health benefits. Artificially cultivated chaga lacks the essential chromogenic complex, including melanin, a key compound found in authentic wild chaga.

- Imitation Chaga: Chaga can be dried, ground, and altered to look like the real thing, especially with the use of coloring agents. However, the texture and taste can reveal the difference. Genuine freeze-dried chaga extract contains shiny melanin crystals and lacks the typical earthy smell of edible mushrooms.

Always check the labels carefully—if it says "chaga powder" without specifying "extract," it’s not a true chaga extract.

How Can I Order and Pay?

Do You Offer Wholesale Chaga?

What Does "Chromogenic Complex Content in Baikal Chaga Extract Exceeds 57%" Mean?

Our chaga extract is made from 100% pure wild-harvested Siberian chaga. Like all natural products, chaga is rich in a variety of beneficial compounds, including polysaccharides, beta-glucans, polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. However, only wild chaga contains the chromogenic complex—a potent mix of humic acids and melanin. While raw chaga typically has about 15% of this complex, high-quality extracts should contain at least 40%. Our Baikal chaga extract exceeds 57%, making it exceptionally powerful and concentrated for maximum health benefits.

Other Websites Claim Their Chaga Extract Is High in Betulinic Acid. Is This True?

Such claims should be viewed with caution. Chaga itself contains only trace amounts of betulin, as the compound primarily comes from birch bark, not chaga. Additionally, betulinic acid does not naturally occur in chaga; it must be chemically extracted from betulin through a complex and costly process. Offering pure betulinic acid for home use is uncommon and rare due to the expense and difficulty of extraction.

Do You Supply Pure Betulin?

Yes, we produce and supply highly purified betulin with a 95% purity level, ensuring premium quality for various uses.
