What is chaga powder, and why has it been added to the formula? — Cleansing Fiber with Chaga and Jerusalem Artichoke, 150 g

Chaga is a birch bracket fungus that has long been used in the traditions of northern peoples and is included in various herbal blends and drinks. In this cocktail, chaga powder is one of several components of the formula, complementing the base of bran and Jerusalem artichoke.

It is important to understand its role correctly: here chaga is one component alongside fibre and inulin; it contains chagaic acid, manganese and cobalt. This is common practice for products of this type: mushroom and plant powders are added to diversify the formula, not to replace the main nutrients.

If you are interested specifically in chaga as a stand-alone product, it is worth looking at specialised extracts or teas based on it. In the context of this cocktail, the main functional role is played by bran (insoluble fibre) and Jerusalem artichoke (inulin as a prebiotic).
