Special feature: FRESH DRIED — chaga dried from freshly harvested raw material

NATUVERSA NORTH FOREST CHAGA — FRESH DRIED is a natural product made from ground birch chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), known for its distinctive natural characteristics and centuries-old history of traditional use.

Chaga grows primarily on birch trees in the northern forests of Europe and Asia, where it develops dense, dark growths over many years, containing a diverse range of naturally occurring compounds.

A distinctive feature of NORTH FOREST CHAGA is the FRESH DRIED designation, highlighting the use of freshly harvested raw material followed by drying. This preparation method produces a natural product with a characteristic woody aroma, rich colour and a convenient form for preparing beverages. Properly controlled drying helps preserve the mushroom's characteristic organoleptic properties, natural colour and woody, earthy aroma.

Chaga has traditionally been valued for its content of polysaccharides, polyphenols, melanin, triterpenoids and other biologically active compounds. Their combination makes this northern forest mushroom an interesting subject of modern scientific research.

Natural Components of Chaga and Their Properties

Polysaccharides and Beta-Glucans — complex carbohydrates found in fungal cell walls. They are of scientific interest because certain fungal polysaccharides can interact with cells of the immune system. Research specifically involving chaga polysaccharides is currently largely limited to laboratory and preclinical models.

Polyphenols — naturally occurring compounds known for their antioxidant activity under laboratory conditions. They can participate in chemical reactions with free radicals and are one of the reasons for scientific interest in chaga.

Melanin — a natural dark pigment responsible for the characteristic almost black colour of chaga's outer surface. Melanin complexes are being studied for their distinctive physicochemical properties and potential antioxidant activity.

Triterpenoids — a group of naturally occurring organic compounds, including substances associated with birch trees, the host trees on which chaga grows. Certain chaga triterpenoids are being investigated in experimental studies for their biological activity.

Minerals — chaga contains various naturally occurring mineral elements, including potassium and manganese. Their concentrations may vary considerably depending on the growing environment, characteristics of the raw material and processing conditions.

Natural Synergy — A Complex of Biologically Active Compounds

The main characteristic of chaga lies not in a single component but in the natural combination of different groups of compounds formed during the mushroom's growth.

Together, these components create a complex natural matrix of biologically active substances. Their potential complementary effects are being investigated by scientists; however, clinically confirmed synergy and specific therapeutic effects of chaga consumption in humans have not yet been established.

It is precisely this diversity of natural compounds that makes chaga an interesting traditional mushroom product and a subject of modern scientific research.

Ingredients

100% ground birch chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus).

No added colourings, flavourings or preservatives.

Directions for Use

Pour 200–250 ml of boiling water over 1 tablespoon (approximately 5–10 g) of ground chaga. Allow to steep for 15–20 minutes, strain and enjoy as a tea.

Honey or sugar may be added to taste.

Manufacturer's recommended use: Consume 3 times daily, 30 minutes before meals. The recommended course is at least 3 months, with the possibility of longer-term use.

Alternative preparation method: Pour 500 ml of boiling water over 2–3 teaspoons of ground chaga and allow to steep for 5–6 minutes.

Warning

Chaga contains biologically active substances and may have a high oxalate content.

Individuals with kidney disease, a tendency to develop calcium oxalate kidney stones, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those taking anticoagulants, blood glucose-lowering medications or other medicines should consult a healthcare professional before use.

Prolonged daily consumption of large quantities of chaga is not recommended without medical advice.
