USA Medical Organic Chaga Capsules 60 pcs

Only the Best of Mushrooms! Organic Chaga Mushroom Extract with Acerola Extract for Enhanced Absorption!

When creating our product, we placed great emphasis on using only the valuable extract of the mushroom instead of mushroom powder. This ensures a pure and high-quality dietary supplement for those seeking the true essence of mushrooms, concentrated with polysaccharide active ingredients!

Why is our USA Medical ORGANIC CHAGA Mushroom Extract Capsule different from other mushroom products?

• It contains only the best of the mushroom! A "11:1" extract ratio with concentrated active ingredients.
• Compared to powder, the extract has approximately 10 times the polysaccharide concentration.
• It is not powder but a concentrated extract with over 30% polysaccharide content.
• Made exclusively from organically cultivated bio-mushrooms, certified and inspected by LACON GmbH in Germany.
• Extra fine grinding for the release of active ingredients, ensuring excellent absorption.
• Gentle production process: The extract is obtained from mushroom powder exclusively through hot water extraction, without using alcohol.
• Enhanced with acerola extract for better absorption of polysaccharides, eliminating the need for a separate acerola supplement.
• Contains no grains or prohibited mycelium, made exclusively from the powdered fruiting body of the mushroom.

Unfortunately, many mushroom powder products contain mycelium (root-like structure) instead of the fruiting body. These products often consist mainly of the grain on which the mycelium grows, which acts as a filler with low active ingredient content.

How is the USA Medical Organic Mushroom Extract made?

Careful Harvesting, Gentle Processing!
To preserve essential polysaccharides, mushrooms are dried immediately after careful harvesting, using methods tailored to their type and condition—partially sun-drying or traditional drying systems for more delicate mushrooms. The wood used for cultivation is utilized as fuel, and the ash is used as fertilizer, promoting sustainability.

After drying, the fruiting bodies of medicinal mushrooms are ground. The grinding process varies by mushroom type, with some requiring coarse grinding or multiple steps to achieve the desired fineness.

The Extraction Process

The ultra-fine powder is produced using a highly efficient "shellbroken" technique that breaks the cell walls of the mushrooms. After processing, the particle size of the powder is less than 0.125 mm, ensuring exceptional quality and bioavailability.

This fine grinding allows the body to absorb the ingredients efficiently. Coarse powder and meal are less suitable for supplements, as the body struggles to utilize their components. Crushed medicinal mushrooms, for example, are better suited for making teas.

Hot water extraction ensures the biological availability of essential components in the mushroom extract. Subsequent filtration and centrifugation remove fibers and other insoluble materials. Depending on the mushroom type, 100 kg of dried mushrooms yield only 6–20 kg of extract after extraction.

The mushroom powders used as a base for extracts contain polysaccharides, but their quantity and bioavailability are lower than in extracts. Mushroom powders for teas are valued for their diverse nutrients, while extracts focus on high polysaccharide content.

During the complex extraction process, polysaccharides are released from the mushrooms' cell walls, making them biologically accessible. These include beta-D-glucans, which, like other polysaccharides, are the focus of numerous international studies.

Get to Know Chaga Mushrooms!

Chaga, scientifically known as Inonotus obliquus, has been used as food for centuries, especially in Northern Europe, America, and Asia. According to legend, the Grand Prince of Kyiv in the 11th–12th centuries regularly consumed Chaga mushroom brews.

Preferring cool climates, Chaga mushrooms thrive in the forests of Russia, Poland, Scandinavia, Canada, and Japan, particularly on birch trees. Locals have collected them for centuries, often making teas.

Chaga mushrooms have a large, black, "rock-like" appearance on birch trees. Their high melanin content gives them a deep black exterior, while the interior remains vibrant orange.

Nutritional Content of Chaga Mushrooms

Chaga mushrooms are rich in:

• Polysaccharides like beta-glucans
• Minerals such as potassium, sodium, and manganese
• Vitamins (B-complex, D), and other nutrients like copper, selenium, zinc, iron, magnesium, and calcium.

Historically used to boost immunity due to their antioxidant content, Chaga mushrooms are often called the "Shaman's Mushroom."

What Are Polysaccharides?

Polysaccharides are bioactive compounds found in mushrooms, consisting of long carbohydrate chains from various monosaccharides. They are embedded in the chitin matrix of mushroom cell walls. Fine grinding and hot water extraction enhance their bioavailability.

Scientific Background on Polysaccharides

Polysaccharides are versatile natural biopolymers with promising biomedical applications. Research has explored their effects on:

• Digestive health
• Metabolism and heart health
• Immune system
• Energy and mood
• Nervous system
• Inflammatory processes and tumors

Potential Side Effects of Chaga Mushrooms

Consult a physician before use, especially for conditions like Type 2 diabetes, blood-thinning medication, or upcoming surgery, as Chaga contains proteins that may affect blood clotting.

Ingredients:

• Organic Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) fruit extract
