DID YOU KNOW? Adding Chaga Mushroom 🍄 to your diet daily can significantly increase your intake of antioxidants ?
Chaga mushroom recorded the highest (ORAC) score of all natural food sources. ORAC stands for ‘Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity’ and measures a substance’s ability to absorb cell-damaging free radicals. This means chaga scored higher than popular antioxidant rich foods such as acai berries, wolf berries, wild blueberries, dark chocolate and pecan nuts.
Chaga’s high level of antioxidants has made the mushroom a prized possession for it’s powerful anti-aging and immune boosting properties.
There’s scientific research backing Chaga’s ability to promote healthy aging. In a 2004 study done by the Department of Medical Nutrition, Kyunghee University in South Korea, showed that a chaga mushroom extract inhibited oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes by up to 40%. In another study done in 2007, chaga reduced oxidative stress in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and also in healthy individuals.
The health benefits of Chaga have been known for centuries in various indigenous cultures where it’s hailed as powerful medicinal mushroom. Chaga has sprung to prominence in recent times and can be commonly found in health stores in tea form or as a herbal supplement. In traditional medical systems, it is used as a natural remedy for premature aging, to reduce free radical damage, to promote longevity, for graceful aging, to enhance immune function, to lower inflammation, improve gut health and to reduce stress. Chaga mushroom is a nutrient dense superfood and is considered a vitamin and mineral rich dietary supplement, safe to be taken on a daily basis.
