Chaga Powder、Liquid

Background

Inonotus obliquus , which is also known as Chaga, is a fungus belonging to the family Hymenochaetaceae. They are mainly distributed in the areas of 40^o ~ 50^o north latitude, such as North America, Russia, North Korea, North Europe and China.  I. obliquus  only grow on  Betula platyphylla.  The appearance of  I. obliquus  fruit body presents as a black clump. Owing to its strong vitality, once  I. obliquus  parasitizes the  B. platyphylla , it will continuously absorb the nutrients from the hosts until they die. This special growth mode is similar to that of human cancer cells, giving  I. obliquus  the name of “ cancer of B. platyphylla ”.

The active compounds in  I. obliquus  are mainly polysaccharides, phenolic and triterpene. Since 16th century,  I. obliquus  has been extensively used in several regions, including Russia, North Europe, Finland and Poland. It can be used for treating malignant tumors, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases, and has no significant side effects. In 1955, The Medical Academy of Science in Moscow, a precursor of First Moscow State Medical University, has even declared  I. obliquus  as an anti-cancer substance. On the top of that, in the past few decades, studies have also demonstrated that  I. obliquus  has the effects on anti-virus, preventing high blood pressure, anti-oxidative and promoting immune system. Such evidence literally makes I. obliquus a superstar in the field of health foods.
