For centuries, Chaga mushrooms have been used by indigenous populations for all of their incredible health benefits. Chaga has specifically been used in Russia and Northern European countries and the word Chaga is an old Russian word for “mushroom.”
Unlike culinary mushrooms like portobellos or button mushrooms, Chaga are functional mushrooms that have been used for their medicinal purposes. Originally prepared as a tea, Chaga has health benefits that range from everything from lowering/reducing blood pressure and slowing the progression of cancer. For those who do not wish to drink it as a tea, Chaga can also be prepared as tincture or made into a fine powder to add to protein shakes.

In short, some of Chaga’s most sought after benefits include:
- Natural energy
