Chaga, also known as Inonotus obliquus, typically grows on the trunks of birch trees, with a few found on poplar and mountain ash. It can cause white rot in the heartwood of standing birch trees. Chaga polysaccharides are the primary active ingredient extracted from the sclerotium of Inonotus obliquus (also known as Siberian Ganoderma), which is primarily found in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere between 45° and 50° north latitude. Its chemical composition includes over 215 compounds, including polysaccharides (25%-60%), inonotus betulin, and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The SOD content is 55 times that of Ganoderma lucidum. Production utilizes low-temperature extraction and spray drying techniques. Traditional methods of consumption include decoction and soaking. Chaga has been shown to have immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, and blood sugar-lowering properties.
