Mushrooms and Fungi
Considered part of the "Fifth Kingdom," Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus) and similar species of Fungi are NEITHER plant nor animal, yet its DNA chromosomal makeup is 30% closer to humans than plants.
Siberian Chaga has been embraced and revered over centuries for its health-enhancing properties. As a result, Siberian Chaga is the most highly prized of all mushrooms, commanding as much as 12 times the value of other mushrooms.
Recent studies have shown that Chaga has extremely high antioxidant compounds. Hundreds of research studies overwhelming confirm the health benefits of antioxidants. These antioxidants protect the body against "free radicals", which cause chemical reactions (oxidation) that destroy cells and damage tissues. Free radicals cannot be avoided: ultraviolet light, for example, is a common source.
Siberian Chaga extract contains an extraordinary amount of SOD, Superoxide Dismutase. SODs are enzymes that keep cell membranes supple and healthy. SOD enzymes decrease as we age, depending on genetic predisposition.
The first documented use of Chaga and other mushrooms and fungi for promoting health and longevity by Asian culture dates back centuries before the time of Christ. Chaga is cited throughout early Russian and Siberian folklore. Referred to in folklore as the "King of Herbs", the health-enhancing properties of Siberian Chaga have been documented for many centuries.
