Chaga mushrooms are rich in a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Our wild-crafted organic Chaga is handpicked during cold autumn and winter when it has the highest nutritional value. We only use organic Chaga collected from pristine, organic forests in Northern Europe, Estonia. At harvest time our Chaga is approx. 8-10 yrs. old.
51% of Estonia’s territory is forested. The country has a low population density and is situated far away from any pollution source.
Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a mushroom that grows on birch trees throughout the northern hemisphere. It is super rich in a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, but is known as one of the best sources of antioxidants found in nature.
Chaga has a lighter-colored inner part and a rough black exterior. The interior and the exterior contain different active ingredients and best results are achieved when both parts are used together.
Traditionally, Chaga was grated into a fine powder and brewed as an earthy smelling herbal tea with a woody aroma.
LOOV’s organic Chaga powder is very fine and mixes easily in smoothies, yogurt, porridge, cereal flakes, muesli, and protein shakes. For greater nutritional benefit we recommend ingesting 1-2 tbsp chaga powder a day for 2-3 weeks. Please be aware, that our organic Chaga does not dissolve in water.
The Chaga mushroom has been known for over 2000 years. To survive in the tough Nordic climate, the Chaga mushroom has soaked up many natural compounds and has a very strong effect.
To preserve all that nature has intended, our Chaga powder is slowly air-dried under 104 Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Since Chaga is not heated during the process, it’s raw food and all the good nutrients are preserved very well this way.
Chaga mushroom offers a perfect alternative to start your day without caffeine. Tea or coffee made from Chaga mushrooms features a mild, neutral taste. Soak a tightly-woven teabag containing 0.5 to 1.0 tsp of the powder in hot water or in your favorite tea or coffee. The flavor will be the same, but the drink will be immeasurably more nutritious.
Drink 2-3 cups of plant tea every day for up to 2 wks. to feel the benefits. (Note: we do not recommend drinking excessive amounts of tea.)
Our organic wild-harvested Chaga mushroom is carefully handpicked only from living birch trees without damaging them. Chaga will regenerate itself after about two years.
