The King of Mushrooms, According to Siberian Shamans
Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus) is a curative mushroom most commonly found on birch trees. Different from other mushrooms, it grows its sclerotium or mycelium on the outside of the tree, instead of fruiting bodies. It is believed to not be parasitic, but instead to live symbiotically with the host tree.
Since time unremembered it has been used by the native people that lived in areas where it is found for a wide range of treatments both internally and externally in a poultice. In fact, it was one of the two mushrooms found on Ozti the Iceman.

How Our Chaga Extract Powder is Processed and How to Take It
These Chaga mushrooms are wildcrafted from birch trees. Real mushrooms are used, rather than mycelium grown on grain.Â
Compliments of North American Reishi/Nammex
These mushrooms are then extracted with both alcohol and water in the ratio of eight kilos of mushrooms used to produce one kilo of this powder. More specifically:
- The whole Chaga mushrooms are chopped down into smaller pieces.
- These pieces are placed into a stainless steel pressurized vessel where they are cooked in ethanol at 75°C or 167°F for three hours. The alcohol is then recaptured.
- After the ethanol process, they are cooked at 80°C or 176°F hot water for two to three hours. This liquid is filtered and collected. Then this decoction process is repeated three times.
- All liquids are combined, then centrifuged to remove any residues.
- The filtered liquid is placed in a vacuum at 55°C or 131°F for around two hours to concentrate it in a ratio of 8 to 1.
- This concentrated liquid is spray dried at 180°C or 356°F to become a powder.
- This Chaga mushroom powder is then tested in quality control to verify it meets the specifications.
Each bag of Chaga extract powder is 30-grams or just over one ounce. The recommended dose is 500mg to 1000mg per day which is roughly equal to 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon.
At this dose, each bag will last 30 to 60 days.
Add Chaga to tea, coffee, juices, smoothies or consume it straight.

Found out about chaga from a relative who had cancer. Research is being done using the mushroom. I was diagnosed with cancer and found this site decided to give it a try. Have been taking it for 3 months , not sure how much it is helping at this point but not willing to stop. Hopefully time will tell.

How much chaga are you taking Kathy?

I’ve tried chaga from several different sources before. This is definitely the best chaga I’ve ever tried. It mixes more smoothly than any other chaga that I’ve had. It also has the best taste and even though it is more expensive than some of the ones I’ve tried you really only need to use 1/4 of a teaspoon so it still lasts pretty good. Though I’ve tried certain other products as well and can’t solely atribute to the chaga I almost never get sick now and I’ve certainly gotten sick a lot less since I started taking chaga. I recommend giving it a try and comparing it to whatever kinds of chaga you’ve had in the past.

Great product. I love the taste and especially with my black coffee in the morning. I have it in most days before my workout at the gym.1

Chaga can be a strange mushroom to know if you are receiving benefits from, at least right away. I am an enormous fan of consuming mushrooms as I know the benefits are protecting us from DNA damage and boosting immunity. I was diagnosed with MS a few years back and wanted to find non pharmaceutical ways to help. I ran into both Chaga and Lion’s Mane as natural ways to boost the nervous system so I began using it. As I said, you may not get an immediate and noticeable boost that you may expect from something like Pine Pollen. However, I do believe regular and patient use of Chaga will give you benefits to whatever your goal may be, as I have improved my symptoms from MS by incorporating it.

We sent the Chaga overseas to my wife’s sister as she has uterine cancer so I can’t testify to the quality or strength . We find our own here in Vermont and have used it mainly as tea but sometimes powdered and consumed with food.

I thought I was buying the best mushroom powders and blends from another source on the web and these guys at lost empire herbs have superior benefit over the other places I have purchased.

I recently read “The Cure is in The Forest” by Cass Ingram, M.D., which reviews the many benefits of Chaga in great detail. Bud Karas is a trusted friend as well as an experienced health/ wellness advisor — and I highly value his opinions and research. I strongly encourage everyone to try Chaga and discover its many beneficial healing properties. Thank you Bud!

I got a sample from one of the awesome owners a year ago or more when they were testing this And made a tea. I took it for a week. It tasted good and felt a slight perk In my body after 4th day (wish I had more :P) I was also taking shilijit pine pollen and black ant powder which all have different body feelings and effects. I saw on wiki shortly after that ethanol is needed for a more effective extract. Tincture maybe? The medical research behind this and shilijit is comprehensive and makes me happy to take them.
