Mushroom
Multivitamin

Research suggests that Chaga mushroom is a remarkable source of antioxidants and is often celebrated for its impressive nutrient profile.

Beyond its suggested antioxidant properties, Chaga may be a treasure trove of essential vitamins and minerals inlcuding various B vitamins, such as niacin (B3), riboflavin (B2), and pantothenic acid (B5), along with key nutrients like vitamin D, potassium, selenium, iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium.

However, further studies are needed to fully understand its potential benefits. We make no health claims and always advise consulting with a healthcare professional before taking any supplements.

RESEARCH

"The antioxidant effects of Chaga mushroom may protect cell components against free radicals. A study showed that Chaga extract treatment led to over 40% reduction in DNA fragmentation in human lymphocytes subjected to oxidative stress, suggesting significant cellular protection (Park et al., 2004).

"Chaga extract demonstrated anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects on human hepatoma cells by inhibiting cell growth in a dose-dependent manner, causing G0/G1-phase arrest, and promoting apoptotic cell death. This suggests potential therapeutic uses for Chaga in liver cancer treatment (Youn et al., 2008).

"Chaga mushroom fractions showed significant anticancer effects by decreasing tumor cell proliferation and motility while inducing morphological changes in various cancer cells, without toxicity to normal cells, highlighting its potential as an anticancer agent (Lemieszek et al., 2011).

“Chaga mushroom extract inhibited the proliferation of breast cancer cells and induced autophagy by activating the AMPK pathway and inhibiting mTOR signaling, suggesting it may serve as a beneficial complementary medicine for breast cancer patients (Lee et al., 2021).

Chaga's Protocol

For the best results from Chaga mushroom, we suggest taking it consistently for four months. This lets its active ingredients build up in your system, offering optimal benefits.

After this period, take a two-week break before starting a new cycle. For enhanced effects, consider combining it with other functional mushrooms to experience a synergistic benefit.

FAQ

What is Chaga Mushroom Powder and its main benefits?

Chaga Mushroom Powder, derived from the Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), is known for its high antioxidant content, which helps protect cells and delay aging. It is traditionally used for boosting the immune system, improving overall health, and providing anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.

How should I use Chaga Mushroom Powder?

The recommended daily dose is 500 mg (1 scoop) three times a day. Mix it with coffee, tea, smoothies, or other beverages. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake, and consume it immediately after preparation.

What does the 10:1 extract ratio mean?

The 10:1 ratio indicates that 1 kg of dried Chaga mushroom fruit bodies yields 100 g of concentrated extract. This ensures a potent dose with enhanced benefits and easy dosage.

Can I combine Chaga Mushroom Powder with other mushrooms?

Yes, you can mix Chaga with other mushroom powders in one beverage, such as coffee or tea, without any adverse effects.

What is the best way to dissolve the mushrooms?

If you are having difficulty dissolving the yellow lacquer mushrooms, we recommend adding the extract to the bottom of the cup and then gradually pouring in the coffee/tea, stirring all the time.

You can also use a handheld milk frother to dissolve the mushrooms.

What part of the mushroom was the extract prepared from?

We only use the fruiting bodies of the mushroom. This is due to the desire to obtain a pure mushroom extract. When dealing with mycelium-based supplements, unfortunately it may turn out that up to 60-70% of such an extract will be starch instead of mushroom without the health-promoting effects attributed to mushrooms.

This is due to the inability to separate the mycelium from the medium on which it grew. Once the fungus has colonised the medium, the whole thing is ground up and subjected to extraction processes. This is a cheap and quick way of growing mushrooms without bringing them to the fruiting stage.

How many polysaccharides does the extract contain?

Our mushroom extracts are not standardised to a specific amount of polysaccharides, as this is not an indicator of the quality of the extract.

Mushroom-based products contain many types of polysaccharides (polysaccharides), such as chitin, alpha glucans or beta glucans.

Alpha glucans are compounds that do not have the properties attributed to fungi. They are usually derived from the starchy medium on which the fungus grows. They are used in mycelium products or mushroom biomass, which is a mixture of mycelium and fruiting bodies.

Active substances are also polysaccharides, but in a different configuration - Beta-D-glucans 1-3 and 1-6. These are found in the fruiting bodies of mushrooms.

For more on beta-glucan and a survey of our mushrooms, see the article:

What is the mushroom extraction process like?

Dried mushroom fruiting bodies are ground to a fine dust and then extracted using hot water and alcohol.

The water dissolves the cell walls of the mushrooms, which are made of chitin, and extracts compounds such as beta glucans (biologically active polysaccharides in mushrooms). Since we do not have an enzyme that can effectively digest chitin - hot water extraction is fundamental to the bioavailability of fungal preparations. Alcohol, on the other hand, allows the extraction of water-insoluble compounds such as triterpenes.

Once the extract has been concentrated, spray drying follows, leaving a final dry extract. Spray drying is the optimum dehydration process for wet extracts - keeping nutrient losses to a minimum.

What distinguishes an extract from a ground mushroom?

Extraction is the optimal way of processing mushrooms to extract the active substances. These are encapsulated in the cell walls of the mushrooms, which are made up of chitin.

We do not have an enzyme that is able to digest chitin and for this reason mushrooms must be subjected to extraction processes. Extraction makes the raw material fully assimilable by our body.

What is the best time to take mushroom supplements?

Lion's mane and Cordyceps, as mushrooms support alertness and increase energy levels, are best taken in the first part of the day or before a workout. If you're adding mushrooms to your coffee, it's a good idea to limit your coffee intake to between 13:00 and 14:00. This will reduce the negative effects of caffeine on sleep quality. A good alternative to coffee is to drink mushrooms in tea.

Reishi, due to its tonic and calming properties on the nervous system, is worth taking in the evening, preferably with green tea or cocoa.
In the case of Chaga mushrooms, the time of consumption does not matter.

What are Beta-D-glucans?

Beta-D-glucans are a type of complex sugar made from long chains of glucose molecules. They are found in nature, especially in mushrooms, and are known for their strong ability to support and regulate the immune system.

Beta-D-glucans from mushrooms are considered to be more beneficial than those sourced from cereals like oats and barley, yeasts, or certain algae. This is due to their distinct structural features and the health advantages they offer.

At Solve Labs, we exclusively utilise mushroom-sourced Beta-D-Glucans for these reasons. There are two key attributes that are particularly noteworthy about mushroom beta-d-glucans:

MOLECULAR STRUCTURE=HIGHER BIO ACTIVITY

Beta-D-glucans from mushrooms have a complex branching structure with β-(1,3) and β-(1,6) linkages. These is different from those found in grains, yeasts and algae. This branching pattern is believed to be responsible for their biological activity and potential health benefits.

The unique molecular structure of mushroom beta-d-glucans allows them to interact with specific receptors in the immune system and exert immunomodulatory effects.

What are the active compounds in Chaga Mushroom Powder? 

Chaga Mushroom Powder, derived from the Inonotus obliquus mushroom, is rich in a variety of bioactive compounds, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to its extensive health benefits. Here’s a comprehensive overview of its key components:Bioactive Compounds

  1. Polysaccharides: Polysaccharides, particularly β-glucans, are prominent in Chaga. They have immunomodulatory properties, enhancing the immune system by stimulating the activity of white blood cells. These compounds also exhibit antioxidant activities, protecting cells from oxidative stress (Eid & Das, 2020).
  2. Triterpenoids: Triterpenoids, including betulinic acid, inotodiol, and lanosterol, are significant bioactive components in Chaga. These compounds have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Triterpenoids contribute to Chaga’s ability to inhibit tumor growth and induce apoptosis in cancer cells (Baek et al., 2018).
  3. Phenolic Compounds: Phenolic compounds in Chaga, such as protocatechuic acid and syringic acid, exhibit strong antioxidant activities. These compounds help neutralize free radicals, thereby preventing cell damage and reducing the risk of chronic diseases (Abu-Reidah et al., 2021).
  4. Sterols: Sterols, including ergosterol and lanosterol, are found in Chaga and contribute to its health benefits. These compounds have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, supporting overall health and wellness (Nikitina et al., 2016).
  5. Betulin and Betulinic Acid: Betulin and betulinic acid, derived from the birch trees that Chaga grows on, are also present in the mushroom. These compounds have antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. They contribute significantly to Chaga’s therapeutic potential (Fordjour et al., 2023).
  6. Melanin: Chaga contains melanin, which has antioxidant properties and protects against UV radiation. Melanin also supports skin health and helps combat oxidative stress (Lee et al., 2007).
What vitamins and minerals does Chaga contain?

How does Chaga support immune function?

Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) is recognized for its ability to enhance immune function through multiple mechanisms. Here’s how it works:


1. Stimulation of Immune Cells
Chaga mushroom extract promotes the proliferation and activation of immune cells, particularly splenocytes, which include T cells and B cells. Studies have shown that Chaga extract stimulates the expression of cytokines such as IL-2, which are crucial for immune response. The increased proliferation of splenocytes and enhanced cytokine production contribute to a stronger immune system (Batjargal et al., 2009).


2. Anti-inflammatory Properties
The polysaccharides and triterpenoids in Chaga exhibit strong anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby reducing inflammation and supporting immune function. Inotodiol, a triterpenoid found in Chaga, has been shown to selectively inhibit mast cell function, reducing allergic responses and inflammation(Nguyen et al., 2020).


3. Antioxidant Protection
Chaga is rich in antioxidants, which protect immune cells from oxidative stress and damage. This protection is crucial for maintaining the health and functionality of the immune system. Studies have shown that Chaga extract can significantly reduce oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes, enhancing overall immune resilience(Park et al., 2004).


4. Enhancement of Natural Killer (NK) Cell Activity
Chaga polysaccharides have been reported to enhance the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, which are vital for the body’s defense against tumors and virally infected cells. This enhancement improves the ability of NK cells to target and destroy harmful cells, thereby boosting immune surveillance and response(Eid et al., 2021).


5. Regulation of Immune Responses
Chaga mushroom helps regulate immune responses by modulating the activity of different immune cells. This includes promoting Th1 responses, which are important for fighting infections, and suppressing excessive Th2 responses, which are associated with allergies. By balancing these immune pathways, Chaga supports a well-regulated immune system(Yoon et al., 2013).

How Chaga Mushroom Supports Skin Health?

Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) is well-regarded for its numerous health benefits, including its positive effects on skin health. Here’s how Chaga mushroom supports and enhances skin health:


1. Antioxidant Properties
Chaga mushroom is rich in antioxidants, which play a crucial role in protecting skin cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. These antioxidants, including phenolic compounds, help reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, by neutralizing harmful free radicals and preventing cellular damage(Park et al., 2004).


2. Anti-inflammatory Effects
The anti-inflammatory properties of Chaga mushroom help reduce skin inflammation and irritation. Triterpenoids and other bioactive compounds in Chaga inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can alleviate conditions such as eczema, acne, and psoriasis. By reducing inflammation, Chaga promotes clearer and calmer skin(Nguyen et al., 2020).


3. DNA Protection and Repair
Chaga’s polysaccharides have been shown to protect and repair DNA, which is crucial for maintaining healthy skin cells. Studies have demonstrated that Chaga extracts can reduce oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes and promote the repair of damaged DNA, enhancing the skin’s resilience against environmental stressors(Eid & Das, 2020).


4. Enhancement of Skin Hydration and Elasticity
Chaga mushroom contains compounds that help improve skin hydration and elasticity. High-voltage pulsed electric fields (PEF) technology has been used to enhance the extraction of these beneficial compounds from Chaga, resulting in improved hyaluronic acid synthesis, which is vital for maintaining skin moisture and elasticity(Sung et al., 2020).


5. Protection Against UV Damage
Chaga’s polysaccharides also provide protection against UV-induced skin damage. Studies have shown that Chaga extracts can reduce UVB-induced DNA damage and promote the expression of DNA repair genes, which helps maintain skin health and prevent photoaging(Eid et al., 2021).


6. Anti-cancer Properties
Chaga mushroom has demonstrated anti-cancer properties, which include inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells and inducing apoptosis. These properties are beneficial for skin health as they can potentially protect against skin cancers and other malignant growths(Fordjour et al., 2023).

How Chaga Mushroom Supports Liver Health?

Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) is renowned for its numerous health benefits, including its positive effects on liver health. Here’s how Chaga supports and enhances liver function:

1. Anti-inflammatory PropertiesChaga mushroom contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds such as triterpenoids and polysaccharides. These compounds help reduce inflammation in the liver, which is essential in managing liver conditions and maintaining overall liver health. Inflammation is a common response to liver damage and infections, and reducing inflammation can help protect the liver from further damage(Nguyen et al., 2020).

2. Antioxidant ActivityThe antioxidant properties of Chaga mushroom protect liver cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Oxidative stress can lead to liver damage and contribute to the progression of liver diseases. Chaga’s high antioxidant content helps neutralize free radicals, thereby safeguarding liver cells and supporting liver function(Park et al., 2004).

3. Hepatoprotective EffectsChaga has demonstrated hepatoprotective effects, meaning it helps protect the liver from damage caused by toxins and other harmful substances. Studies have shown that Chaga extracts can prevent liver damage by enhancing the liver’s detoxification processes and protecting liver cells from toxic insults(Lemieszek et al., 2011).

4. Anti-cancer PropertiesChaga mushroom exhibits anti-cancer properties, particularly against liver cancer cells. Research has shown that Chaga extracts can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inhibit the proliferation of hepatoma (liver cancer) cells. This effect is crucial for preventing and managing liver cancer(Youn et al., 2008).

5. Regulation of Cellular CommunicationChaga mushroom extracts have been shown to improve gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in liver cells. GJIC is essential for maintaining liver tissue homeostasis and regulating cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Enhancing GJIC helps maintain healthy liver function and prevents the development of liver diseases (Park et al., 2006).

6. Protection Against Oxidative DNA DamageChaga’s antioxidant properties also extend to protecting the liver from oxidative DNA damage. By reducing DNA damage in liver cells, Chaga helps maintain the integrity of liver cell DNA, which is crucial for proper liver function and preventing mutations that could lead to liver diseases(Najafzadeh et al., 2007).
