100% organic Chaga conk.
100% organic Chaga mushroom conk, sustainably wild crafted on birch trees in the pristine Jilin forest. It is vital that chaga is grown on birch trees if it is to contain the main active components it is associated with.
It’s also dual extracted (Up to 8:1 extract ratio) to release and concentrate its polysaccharides and triterpenes. It has a minimum of 12% glucans, and 0.5% betulinic acid to support immunity and inflammatory response.
Skin Health
Studies show chaga has the strongest antioxidant activity among fungi examined. Antioxidants protect the body from free-radical damage which can cause premature ageing. Other studies have noted benefits for problem skin conditions such as psoriasis, potentially due to its impact on chronic inflammation.
Immunity
Studies have shown anti-viral effects and suggest chaga increases cytokines, which are signalling proteins that help control inflammation, communicate with white blood cells, and help regulate immune response.
Gut Health
A 2017 study found that the polysaccharides in Chaga possess prebiotic properties that improve the balance of healthy bacteria in the gut.
Active Ingredients
Betulinic acid
Derived from the bark of the host birch tree on which it grows, it has wide-spectrum anti-microbial activity.
Beta-glucans
Rich in beta-glucans and other polysaccharides which balance the response of the immune system.
Antioxidants
Rich in a range of antioxidants, including super-oxide dismutase (SOD); an enzyme which reduces damage done by super-oxide, which is the most common free radical in the body. Chaga has one of highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbent Capacity) scores of any food, highlighting its ability to protect the body from free radical damage.

Mushroom’s For Life springs from decades of nurtured partnerships with organic farms nestled in China’s ancient woodlands - Longquan for Reishi, Qingyuan for Lion’s Mane, and equally pristine regions for Cordyceps, Chaga, and beyond.
Drawing on centuries of Traditional Chinese Medicine, these growers employ nature-mirroring cultivation and expert extraction to capture each mushroom’s full, pure essence - ensuring only the finest mushrooms reach you.
Their Pure Grade range of extracts are regarded as practitioner quality and contain the highest levels of active compounds. It’s common for mushroom capsules and powders to use ‘drinks grade’ extracts that contain a high level of maltodextrin to help encapsulation, and to taste sweeter to the palate. Pure Grade is the hallmark of the highest quality mushroom supplements.
