Chaga is found in the frigid birch forests of northern Europe, Asia and America.  It has been used by native tribes for thousands of years, who relied upon it to help them survive the harsh conditions of their brutal environment.  Chaga can only be wild-harvested sustainably every 5-10 years in forests that are below -30 degrees during the winter, since its beneficial elements grow stronger with the cold.

Scientific research on Chaga began in Russia in the 1950s but has expanded rapidly across the globe in the last decade.  Over 700 studies have been completed and their findings agree:  The Chaga mushroom may be the most important natural superfood ever discovered.

Chaga grows in the sub-arctic forests of Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia and Russia.  It is found only on White and Black Birch trees, high on the trunk, where it is parasitic to the individual tree but symbiotic with the forest.

It is integral to its ecosystem, turning old trees into fertilizer to keep the largest forest on the planet alive and growing.

Chaga requires temperatures of -30 or below to reach its full potency.  The more extreme the conditions, the stronger the Chaga.  No lab-grown mycelium can match the power of nature’s creation.

Chaga can only be harvested when the trees have shed their leaves and the forest has frozen for the winter.  While there is some Chaga that is easily accessible, the vast majority is deep in the mountains and valleys where there are no roads.  Since it is essential to the forest’s future, sustainable harvesting of the mushroom is required.

The mushroom must be removed without damaging its core, or the tree itself, allowing it to regrow in 5-7 years.

The Native Inuit believe the Great Spirit gave them Chaga as a gift.  If we treat it the same, it will always be a gift to us.
