Forager's Kingdom Chaga Extract is dual-extracted from wild North American Chaga to ensure a full spectrum of water-soluble polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble terpenes.
 
Unlike most mushroom supplements, which contain crude mycelium, these fruiting body extracts represent the full health-promoting potential of mushrooms.
 
Forager's Kingdom creates potent extracts from mushrooms and herbs foraged in the ancient Appalachians, which are among the oldest mountains on earth. 
 
All of their extracts are wildcrafted (except for cordyceps), containing no grains or fillers which means they are made from wild mushrooms and herbs. Wild foods create the highest-quality extracts because they are more nutritionally dense than their cultivated counterparts. 
 
Their extracts are 100% wildcrafted, containing no grains or fillers. Dual extraction in both alcohol and hot water ensures the highest potency, and they use only natural spring water and domestically sourced organic alcohol from The Organic Alcohol Company. 
 
For every bottle purchased, a tree is planted as part of the one-tree-planted foundation!!!!
 
Suggested Use:  Take one dropperful and hold it under the tongue for thirty seconds, then swallow, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Shake well before using. You can also add a dropperful to your favorite beverage.
 
Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus) is a wild sclerotium whose properties and intrinsic compounds are synthesized according to the unique nature of its parasitic relationship with living birch trees over time. You can’t have Chaga without it being wild. Any indoor propagated Chaga is merely an inferior lumpy mass having never been subjected to the back-and-forth stressors that are required to strengthen the mycological makeup of sclerotia; thus, it requires an everlasting biological battle between itself and a living birch tree’s immune system; to form what we know as Chaga! It is important to understand that there is fake chaga out there- mainstream brands sell it, and well-respected figures that some would call leaders in the mushroom world are selling it too. But it’s a gimmick; Chaga that does not come from the wild is not Chaga at all. It is materially different; it will not share the benefits that wild Chaga is well known for, and marketing it as such is completely wrong.
 
Chaga contains high levels of antioxidants and terpenes. It also contains a unique compound, betulinic acid, which is formed when chaga converts the betulin found in the birch bark to this beneficial ingredient. If the Chaga is grown on grain or sawdust, it will not be rich in this. It must be grown on living birch trees to produce high levels of this compound. This triterpenoid has a wide array of health benefits. It is also rich in other beneficial compounds, such as melanin and initidiol. Chaga is the best mushroom to use if you are looking for a potent antioxidant and to support healthy skin. You should not use chaga if you are sensitive to oxalates or suffer from kidney stones.
