Introduction

Chaga extract powder is derived from the Inonotus obliquus fungus, commonly found on birch trees in cold climates. This extract is rich in antioxidants and is used in various applications ranging from health supplements to skincare products. It is known for its potential health benefits, which are supported by scientific research.

Benefits of Chaga Extract Powder

• Antioxidant Properties: Chaga extract is known for its high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) score of approximately 31,000 per 100g, indicating its potent ability to neutralize free radicals.
• Immune System Support: Studies have indicated that Chaga extract can modulate the immune system, enhancing the body's ability to combat infections.
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: Due to its betulinic acid content, Chaga extract shows promise in reducing inflammation at a cellular level.
• Cancer Prevention: Preliminary research suggests that Chaga extract may inhibit tumor growth, though more clinical trials are required.

Applications of Chaga Extract Powder

• Dietary Supplements: Available in capsule and powder form, Chaga extract is often consumed to enhance immune health and vitality.
• Skincare Products: Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, Chaga is incorporated into skincare formulations aimed at reducing signs of aging.
• Beverages: Chaga extract is used as an ingredient in health-promoting teas and coffee blends.
• Functional Foods: Added to foods like smoothies or bars to boost nutritional content.

Mechanism of Action

Chaga extract exhibits its effects primarily through its rich content of polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and triterpenes. These compounds work synergistically to boost immune function and combat oxidative stress. The polysaccharides activate immune cells such as macrophages, enhancing the body's response to pathogens.
