Chaga

The dark, cracked mass that grows on birch. It looks more like burnt charcoal on the outside and rusty orange inside than anything you would picture as a mushroom.

Where it comes from

We do not grow Chaga. It forms on living birch over many years, so there is no farming it the way we farm Lion's Mane. We partner with trusted wildcrafters in Michigan, then bring whole conks home to New Smyrna and extract them ourselves.

Fortify gut health.

An abundance of antioxidants.

Balance the immune system.

What it is known for

Polyphenols, betulinic acid, and beta-glucans

Chaga's most-studied parts are its polyphenols, betulinic acid, which it draws from the birch it grows on, and its beta-glucans. We stay away from ranking and scoring language, because those numbers get thrown around loosely and we would rather you trust what we can actually stand behind. This is general background about the Chaga mushroom, not a claim about what our extract does for you.

How to take it

Three easy ways

Step 1

Shake well, then stir 1ml into a glass of cold water or any drink you like. That's how we'd suggest taking this one.

Step 2

Under your tongue works too, if you prefer it that way.

Step 3

Or work it into a light meal. Fruit especially. That works, though I'd point you to a drink first.

The flavor surprises people. It's sweet and silky, an apple flavor with a mild tartness, no more sour than a piece of fruit you'd actually enjoy eating. Chaga layers chocolate undertones over a dark forest flavor on top of that, nothing like the harsh alcohol tinctures that make people quit taking extracts. That's why we went looking for a better way to make it. When we moved away from alcohol, the flavor got better, and honestly, so did the way it made us feel.

What to expect

The first day, the first weeks, and the long run

Everyone at the booth asks the same thing first. How fast will I feel it? Here is the honest answer, in the order it usually happens.

The first days

A quiet one, on purpose

Chaga is not a product you feel come on. It works on your gut and brings an abundance of antioxidants, which is not the kind of thing that announces itself on a Tuesday afternoon. Expect uneventful, and take it anyway.

The first weeks

Consistency is the whole mechanism

Daily, at whatever point in the day you will actually remember. Give it two to four weeks before you decide. With the quiet ones the routine is not supporting the product, the routine is the product.

The long run

It stacks

It builds with regular use and stacks over time. A long run of ordinary days is what this one looks like when it is working.

Which makes the next part the important part. Not the timeline. The habit.

Wild-foraged in Michigan, extracted on our farm

We do not grow Chaga. It forms on living birch over many years, so there is no farming it the way we farm Lion's Mane. What we do is partner with trusted wildcrafters in Michigan, then bring whole conks home to New Smyrna and extract them ourselves, with no alcohol and no solvents. Chaga is technically not a mushroom, it is a sterile conk, which is why the label carries an asterisk.

How we make our extracts Meet the farmer

Always

Grown with nature.
Whole mushrooms.
Extracted with no alcohol, solvent-free.

Never

Mycelium on grain.
Fillers or cheap binders.
A vague "proprietary blend."

Every extract starts as a whole wildcrafted mushroom, never mycelium grown on grain. You should be able to know where your mushrooms came from.
