Chaga extract dietary supplement, 50 g
Looking for natural support for your health? Discover the Chaga mushroom – an extraordinary gift of nature, appreciated for centuries in traditional cultures for its health-promoting properties. It's not without reason that it's colloquially called "black gold." In the Siberian taiga, Scandinavian countries, and North America, chaga decoction was and still is used not only as a panacea for ailments, but also as a daily drink. In Yakutia, it's common to use Chaga instead of tea, while the Khanty people of Siberia also drink a decoction of this valuable mushroom for its mood-enhancing and general strengthening properties. Chaga and Active Substances: Understanding the chemical composition of the Chaga mushroom was a popular topic of research conducted by Russian scientists (Yakimov, Shivrina, and others) in the 19th and 20th centuries. This mushroom has been proven to be a natural source of vitamins, primarily B vitamins, as well as valuable minerals such as copper, potassium, zinc, iron, and calcium. Below are other active substances found in this extraordinary mushroom: * polysaccharides, whose main function is to improve intercellular communication. These primarily include β-glucans; * phytosterols: 45% lanosterols, 25% inotodiol, and 30% ergosterol, fecosterol, and others. Their primary function is to stimulate apoptosis—programmed cell death; * polyphenols, i.e., compounds of phenolic origin that act as antioxidants. Their antioxidant activity is significantly stronger than that of vitamins C or E. This group includes flavonoids, phenolic acid, and tannins (tannins and lignans). All of these compounds have a ring structure. They eliminate free radicals, thus slowing the body's aging process;* triterpenes, which are a subgroup of terpenes, also known as isoprene hexamers. These primarily include betulin and betulinic acid;* large amounts of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide anion radical;* amino acids: tryptophan, glycine, and cysteine. They exhibit synergistic anticoagulant effects;* melanin, the most important pigment responsible for pigmentation in organisms.
