Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) — Wild-Harvested Birch-Sourced

The antioxidant heavyweight. Polysaccharide + melanin content.

About this product

Wild-harvested chaga extract sourced from birch trees in northern climates (where the polysaccharide content is highest). Chaga is technically a parasitic fungal mass, not a typical fruiting body — it's harvested from living birch trunks. Sustainability matters: only buy from harvesters who leave at least 20% of the conk for regeneration.
