How to choose chaga
Chaga is a mushroom that grows on birch. The selection holds powder, liquid extracts and elixirs, tablets and tea; the forms differ in convenience and in how they are prepared.
What the selection holds
- Powder – ground chaga or a dry extract; brew it or stir it into water as the pack says.
- Liquid extracts and elixirs – ready to use, in a bottle or in single-serve vials; the dose is given in ml.
- Tablets and capsules – easy to carry; the amount of extract is given per tablet or capsule.
- Tea – chaga with herbs and berries: sea buckthorn, mint, ginger, rosehip.
What to check on the pack
- Extract: check the ratio of raw material to extract, for example 7:1, and how much extract the daily dose holds.
- Alcohol: with liquid forms, check whether alcohol is listed – some elixirs also come in an alcohol-free version.
- Powder: pure chaga and a powder concentrate with added ingredients are different products; the pack lists what is inside.
- Tea: in a blend chaga is one ingredient of several; its place in the ingredient list shows how much of it there is.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, consult a doctor before use.
