What it is

What this actually is

That conk is what goes in the bottle. Our partner forages it wild off birch trees in Michigan, we extract it here, and it ends up as the milliliter you stir into a drink in the morning.

What Triple Extract means

Our first batches were alcohol tinctures. At an early farmers market a customer told us straight out that it was hard to take, and that's the reason this bottle isn't made that way any more.

The name is literal. Every bottle comes from a triple-fraction, multi-phase exhaustive extraction of whole Chaga conks. No alcohol at any point. No solvents at any point. Just a full-spectrum extraction process formulated to preserve the compounds found in the whole conk.

We use the whole conk because that's where the range of compounds is. The research has only looked closely at a few of them.

How to take it

In a drink, or under the tongue

Step 1

Shake the bottle.

Step 2

Stir one milliliter into a glass of water, or any drink. Coffee is fine.

Or

Hold one milliliter under your tongue for about sixty seconds. Chaga doesn't need it, but it's fine if you prefer it.

The flavor surprises people. It's sweet with a slight tart edge, a dash of apple cider vinegar behind it, and then Chaga itself: something like coffee, with chocolatey notes and earthy tones. Nothing about it tastes medicinal. On a heavier day you can take up to three milliliters, though most people do just fine with one.

Where it fits in your day

Three points in an ordinary morning where a milliliter actually fits

Chaga is a morning extract. The bottle that gets used is the one with a place in a day you already have, so here are three places it fits. Put the bottle where you'll see it every single morning.

First thingIn your morning coffeeStir it into the first cup of the day. This is the habit worth building first, and the rest of this list is what to do on the mornings it doesn't happen.
At breakfastIn a juice or a smoothieIf breakfast is a glass of juice or a smoothie, a milliliter goes in with everything else.
Mid morningThe catch-up servingIf the morning went past without it, take it now. A milliliter in a glass of water at ten beats a perfect routine you didn't keep.

Always

Wild-foraged by our partner, extracted by us. Whole wild Chaga conks. No alcohol, no solvents, water based.

Never

Mycelium grown on grain. Fillers and cheap binders. Anything hiding inside a proprietary blend. A claim we can't back up. A substitute for care a doctor has prescribed.

Absorbed

Why this is a liquid you stir into a drink

A serving goes down with your drink, and that's where nano-encapsulation earns its keep: it wraps what we pulled out of the conk to survive digestion and get through to where it's going.

It also makes a serving easy to take. One milliliter in your morning drink, and no alcohol burn.

  • Nanoemulsification
  • Nanoencapsulation
  • Water-based liquid

Every step, from the extraction to the milliliter in your drink, is there so that what we pulled out of the conk is still there when it reaches you.

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.

Day one

The first question anyone asks at the booth.

Day one is about the habit: one milliliter in your morning drink. Chaga's benefits build with regular use and stack over time.

The first weeks

Give it at least four to six weeks before you decide.

Same amount, same point in your day.

A month in

The bottle is either on the counter or it isn't.

A month in is when you can judge it. Look at the whole month, not any one morning. If Chaga has earned its place in your routine, the bottle stays on the counter.

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

Your first bottle

One serving is 1 ml. The 1 oz bottle is thirty mornings. The 2 oz is sixty, and it ships free on its own. Subscribe and either size costs less, and the per-day figure under each price does the arithmetic for you. You can pause or skip whenever you need. Nothing is charged until checkout.

Wild-foraged

The Chaga in this bottle grew wild on birch trees in Michigan

Chaga doesn't grow in Florida, so we have a partner in Michigan who does. It's foraged off birch in the Michigan woods, and we extract every batch here on our farm.

Wild-foraged Off birch, in the Michigan woods.
Sent whole Whole Chaga conks, and only the conk. No grain, no filler.
Extracted here On our farm in Florida. No middleman between the forest and the bottle.
Handed to you Sold face to face at four Central Florida farmers markets every week, and shipped from here.

Who it's for

Not sure this is your one?

At the booth, when someone asks about Chaga on its own, I usually point them to Trifecta: it has Chaga, Turkey Tail and Reishi together. Chaga by itself has its place, and if antioxidants are what you came for, this is the bottle. If not, the better fit might be one of the others. Not sure? Take the quiz.

Extract or powder

An extract and a powder are two different products

Both get sold as mushroom supplements, so the difference is easy to miss. This compares the two categories, not two brands.

Chaga Triple Extract compared with mushroom powders
Compared on Chaga Triple ExtractWhat you get here Mushroom powdersThe category
What is in it Whole Chaga conks. The Chaga itself. Milled mushroom material, and in many products the grain the mycelium was grown on.
Whole or milled The whole conk, then extracted into a liquid. Milled, and sold as the powder.
Extracted or ground A triple-fraction, ultrasound extraction in water. No alcohol, no solvents. Usually milled rather than extracted.
How you take it One milliliter, stirred into a drink or held under the tongue. A scoop, mixed into a drink or into food.
What a serving is One milliliter, thirty or sixty servings a bottle. A scoop, measured by volume.
What is added Glycerin, apple cider vinegar, sunflower lecithin. Varies by product.

If you came here comparing liquid to capsule. A capsule is usually dried mushroom or extract powder in a shell that you swallow. We don't make one. This is Chaga pulled into a liquid you stir into a drink, or hold under your tongue for about sixty seconds. Both are fine ways to take a mushroom. If you came here looking for a tincture: a tincture is usually made with alcohol. This one is water-based, in vegetable glycerin, with no alcohol at any point.

And you can find the person who made it. Our partner forages it, we extract it, and we hand it to people at four Central Florida farmers markets every week. Quality from the forest to the finished product.

What's inside

A short list, and a reason for each one

Here's what's in it, transcribed from the label, and what each thing is doing.

Supplement Facts

Serving Size:1ml (4 pumps)
Servings per container:60
Amount Per Serving    %Daily Value†
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
Extract (Wild Sclerotia)
1887mg†

† Daily Value not established

OTHER INGREDIENTS Glycerin, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, Distilled Water, Sunflower Lecithin.

01

Glycerin

Vegetable glycerin. The base everything else sits in, the reason there's no alcohol, and the only preservative in the formula. It's mildly sweet, which takes the edge off the taste.

02

Chaga

Whole Chaga conks, wild-foraged by our partner in Michigan and extracted here on our farm.

03

Apple cider vinegar

A small amount, for flavor. It's the tart note, and it softens the taste.

04

Sunflower lecithin

The encapsulation aid. From sunflowers, not soy.

*Chaga is technically not a mushroom; it is a sterile conk (a canker-like growth) on birch trees.

One serving is one milliliter. The one ounce bottle holds thirty servings and the two ounce holds sixty.

Purchase options

Never run out.

Most people don't take one mushroom once. They build a routine. Set it to arrive on a schedule so you never run out mid-routine. It's forget-proofing.

Never run out Pause or skip anytime

Traditional use

What the north believed about it

Chaga grows on birch across the cold north, from Siberia and Scandinavia to northeastern North America. The name comes from the Komi-Permyak people, who live west of the Ural Mountains, and in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Siberia the white birch it grows on was called the tree of life. Russian folk medicine has records of Chaga going back to at least the sixteenth century, especially among the Khanty people of Siberia. The old way was to break the black crust away, crush the golden inside, and boil or steep it into a tea, about three to five grams to a pot. In Siberian villages that keep the old ways it is still crushed and simmered like that, and people there trusted it as a tonic and a restorative.

There is a story that China prized it for thousands of years as the mushroom of immortality. That one is a legend, from a misread old text, and the Chinese name for it just means white birch fungus. What is true is plainer. Chaga is one of the tinder fungi, and Cree healers in Canada burned it as incense and used it as tinder. When coffee was rationed in the Second World War, Finns and Russians brewed Chaga instead, because brewed dark it tastes something like coffee. That is still where it fits: dark, earthy, first thing in the morning.

Safety

This is concentrated. A bottle holds far more Chaga than a cup of Chaga tea would, so read this part before your first serving.

We grow mushrooms. We're not doctors, and this isn't medical advice. What follows is what the preparation is, who should ask someone qualified before starting, and how to start carefully. One serving a day. If anything feels wrong, stop.

The published record.

Chaga has a published safety record and it is short. Three case reports describe kidney trouble in people who took Chaga powder by the spoonful every day, for months or years. Chaga can be high in oxalates, and that is the reason behind those reports and the reason it is never for dogs. Each report is a single person, not a trial, and each involved gram-scale daily amounts of raw powder. A serving here is one milliliter, once a day. If you have a kidney condition or a history of kidney stones, ask your doctor before you start.

Medications.

If you take a prescription medication of any kind, ask your doctor or your pharmacist before you start.

Pregnancy and nursing.

If you're pregnant or nursing, ask your doctor before taking any mushroom extract, this one included.

Allergies.

If you have a mushroom allergy, do not take this. It's a mushroom extract, and there's no version of it without the mushroom.

Pets.

Never give a dog Chaga. It can be high in oxalic acid, so Chaga stays with the two-legged members of the house. For pets, Turkey Tail and Reishi are the two people reach for.

Speak to a doctor first if any of these apply to you: pregnancy or nursing, a kidney condition, or a history of kidney stones.

Ask us anything

Good questions

The things people ask us at the booth

Does Chaga have side effects?

This is a concentrated extract, so start at one milliliter a day and stay there for a while before you judge it. If something feels off, stop and ask your doctor. If you have a mushroom allergy, don't take it at all. We're mushroom growers rather than doctors; the safety section on this page has what we do know.

Can I take it with my medication?

The safety section on this page is where we answer this properly, and it covers pregnancy and nursing too. An extract is more concentrated than a cup of tea, which is the part worth knowing before you read it.

How long does it take to actually kick in?

Chaga builds with regular use and stacks over time, so give it at least four to six weeks at the same amount and the same point in your day before you decide. The what-to-expect section on this page walks through the first day, the first weeks and a month in.

So if I think I notice a difference, it's a placebo?

Placebo is real, and we're not going to tell you it isn't. It's part of why we ask you to give it at least four to six weeks before you decide, at the same amount and the same point in your day. A first morning is easy to talk yourself into. A month of ordinary days is harder.

What does it taste like?

Sweet, with a tart edge from a little apple cider vinegar, and under that it tastes like coffee with chocolatey notes and earthy tones.

How is this different from a powder?

A powder is milled mushroom material, and in a lot of products most of what you're buying is the grain the mycelium was grown on. This is whole Chaga conks that have been extracted, so what the conk holds ends up in the liquid instead of staying in the milled material. You take a milliliter rather than a scoop.

Is Chaga actually a mushroom?

Not quite. Technically it's a canker on a birch tree, a hard sterile conk, but we all call it a mushroom. That's why the label reads Chaga Mushroom with an asterisk.

Can I take it in my coffee?

Yes. Stir it into your morning coffee, a glass of water, juice or a smoothie, whichever you'll actually drink every morning.

Can I give it to my pet?

Not Chaga, and never to a dog. It can be high in oxalic acid, so Chaga stays with the two-legged members of the family. For pets, most people reach for Turkey Tail and Reishi.

Where does the Chaga come from?

The Chaga in this bottle is wild-foraged off birch trees in Michigan by our wildcrafting partner, and we extract it here in New Smyrna, Florida.

How does the subscription work, and can I stop it?

You pick your size and it arrives on a schedule, so you don't run out partway through. Skip or pause your deliveries whenever you need, right from your account. No phone calls. Pause for up to three months at a time. After your second order, you can cancel from the same place.

When will my order arrive, and do you ship fresh mushrooms?

Extracts ship in one to three business days, and shipping is free over forty dollars. Fresh mushrooms are a different thing entirely. They're farmers market pickup only and we never ship them. If you want fresh, come and find us at one of our four markets.

Where to find us

Fresh mushrooms are market pickup only, and we're at four markets a week
