Chaga Mushrooms – The Ultimate Superfood and Tonic – Health Benefits of Chaga

From the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centers: United States

Chaga mushroom, found on Birch and other trees in cold climates, has been used in folk medicine in Russia and other North European countries for generations.

Chaga draws nutrients from the tree on which it grows and extracts are typically derived from the inner layers of the bark.

The active constituents are thought to be a combination of triterpenes, such as betulinic acid, sterols, and polysaccharides.

Chaga has demonstrated anticancer, antiviral, antiplatelet (2), anti-inflammatory, analgesic (3), immune stimulating properties in vitro, and hypoglycemic effects in mice (4).

Chaga extract has inhibitory and proapoptotic effects against colon cancer (5) and hepatoma (1) cells.

It also reduced toxicity associated with radiation (6) and inhibited tumor cell growth in animal models (7). In some studies, Chaga demonstrates selective apoptosis in tumor cells with no effects on healthy cells (1).
