Chaga Extract

Immune powerhouse

HÖ:RBS offers one of the most potent Chaga extracts in Estonia. Our formulation is tested for high levels of active compounds, which are essential for achieving measurable physiological properties.

While Chaga has been used in traditional Siberian and North Chinese folk medicine to support the digestive system and promote longevity, modern clinical studies have identified Chaga as one of nature's most powerful antioxidant mushrooms, making it an important tool for cell protection, immune system balance, and anti-aging support.

What makes our Chaga different

Unlike many products on the market, we precisely define the active compounds whose properties have been studied in scientific literature. We don't just sell "mushroom powder" — we offer a laboratory-tested double extract that contains rare wood-bound bioactive compounds (e.g., betulinic acid) that are otherwise not readily available.

Ingredients

Our Chaga is a double extract derived from wild-harvested sclerotium.

We use both hot water and alcohol extraction to isolate water-soluble beta-glucans as well as alcohol-soluble triterpenes and betulinic acid, providing the full spectrum of active ingredients of this slow-growing wild mushroom.

Active compounds

Triterpenes 
Contain specific antioxidant markers and betulinic acid, associated with Chaga's cell-protective properties.

Beta-D-glucans (30%)
Polysaccharides with very high content that support the immune system and help maintain gut health.

Key properties

Strong antioxidant protection

One of nature's mushrooms with the highest antioxidant profile, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Immune system balancing

Supports immune system balance, helping the body to respond effectively to external influences and reduce overreactive inflammatory processes.

Skin and melanin support

Contains natural melanin and superoxide dismutase (SOD), which support skin health and help protect against UV radiation.

Digestive support

Traditionally used to support the digestive tract, helps maintain gastric lining health and supports a balanced microbiome.

Metabolism and blood sugar support

Modern research suggests that Chaga can support healthy blood sugar levels and cardiovascular well-being.

Why our extracts are in capsules

Protection of active ingredients
Mushrooms are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture, which can cause the powder to clump. While this doesn't affect quality, it can be unpleasant. To avoid fillers like maltodextrin, we use a silica gel sachet and encapsulate the powder to maintain its purity and dryness.

Precise dosing
Capsules ensure clear and consistent dosing. "2 capsules" is significantly more precise than "half a teaspoon."

Recommended use

Daily support
2 capsules daily.

Stronger support
For individuals aged 45+, those with higher body weight, or with specific health goals, we recommend 3–4 capsules daily.

Since this is a functional food, it's not possible to "overdose" in the traditional sense. However, too small a quantity may mean that the necessary level to achieve the desired effect is not reached.

How to use

Timing
For best absorption, take on an empty stomach 1–2 hours before or after meals.

Infusion method
We recommend opening the capsules and mixing the contents with warm water. This supports digestion and allows the active ingredients to start working upon contact with the oral mucosa.

Capsule method
Swallowing capsules whole is also effective. We recommend drinking 1–2 glasses of warm water to support digestion.
