About this product

This is a high quality, homemade and hand-pressed Chaga mushroom double extract. I don't cut any corners on making this the best extract on the market. I make a highly concentrated tincture first, and let it steep in high percentage, organic cane sugar alcohol for at least 2 months. Then, I hand strain the tincture, and put the strained mushroom in a slow cooker with wild spring water, and do a hot water extraction. I let it cook on low, breaking down the chitin cell wall of the fungus, for one whole day. This process releases many of the polysaccharides that the regular tincturing process doesn't. When the secondary extraction is complete, I hand strain it, and then mix it with the tincture, creating a beautiful, rich, and very medicinal result. Chaga has been used in traditional Siberian medicine for centuries as a healthful tonic. Studies have shown that it has one of the highest ORAC (anti-oxidant) scores of all known foods, making it an amazingly strong anti-aging and general maintenance tonic. There are no known contraindications, and very few, if any, recorded negative effects from taking even very high doses of chaga.
