Since ancient times, many cultures have relied on medicinal mushrooms for treating, healing, and improving the symptoms of countless illnesses and ailments. Medicinal mushroom supplements are more popular than ever as we continue to learn of all their amazing benefits. 

To understand how we get these benefits, let’s learn how medicinal mushrooms are sourced: 

• The fruiting body refers to the reproductive part of the fungus and is often characterized by its stalk and cap. This part of the mushroom can be used to create potent extracts using hot water and/or alcohol.
• The mycelium consists of a mass of branching filaments like the root system or web, often growing in soil or organic matter. To get all the nutrients, the mycelium is grown, dried and milled into a fine powder.

Combining the mycelium and fruiting body extract ensures you get a highly potent dose of powerhouse antioxidants, filled with all the beneficial compounds to support your health goals. Often referred to as “the King of Mushrooms”, chaga has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to support immunity and provide a potent source of antioxidants. These mushrooms contain properties that help promote the formation of beneficial cytokines, specialized proteins that regulate the immune system. These proteins are essential for fighting off harmful bacteria or viruses. Thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties, chaga mushrooms are known to reduce and protect against cellular aging and support healthy cholesterol balance.
