Chaga C-Max provudes a 5:1 concentrated extract from Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), a medicinal mushroom containing antioxidants and other important therapeutic agents that help the body to heal itself. Known by the Siberians as the “Gift from God” and the “Mushroom of Immortality”, this amazing forest growth has been used to support human health for thousands of years. Other important ingredients are polysaccharides of which 1,3 / 1,6 Beta-D-Glucans are powerful immune modulators. When necessary, Beta-Glucans can trigger the immune system into action producing NK cells. Beta-Glucans can also calm an overactive immune system (the main cause of allergies and auto-immune diseases). Chaga contains Betulin or Betulinic Acid and also immunity phytochemicals found in other medicinal mushrooms. Chaga mushroom has been used for thousands of years as a healing tea by people living in Siberia.
