Chaga Extract Capsules (60)
£30.00
Organic Chaga extract capsules providing 400mg of organic Inonotus obliquus conk extract per capsule.
Chaga has a long history of traditional use across Northern Europe, Siberia and parts of Asia and remains one of the most studied mushroom species today.
Traditionally, Chaga has been valued for its distinctive composition and longstanding use within traditional wellness practices.
Produced using dual extraction and selected for quality, balance and traceability.
Manufactured in Estonia under controlled production conditions in accordance with EU food supplement standards.
Ingredients
Chaga extract* (Inonotus obliquus)
Capsule shell: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)
*Certified organic (EE-ÖKO-03).
Extraction & Standardisation
4:1 dual extract.
Produced using both hot water and alcohol extraction to retain species-specific compounds.
Standardised to:
• Glucans ≥5%
• Polysaccharides ≥10%
• Betulin ≥2%
• Inotodiol ≥0.1%
These compounds form part of the mushroom's natural chemical profile.
Standardisation reflects measurable marker compounds present within the finished extract.
Extraction markers describe the quantified composition of the extract. Standardisation refers to analytical measurement and does not imply specific physiological effects.
Naturally Occurring Compounds
Inonotus obliquus conk extract contains a range of naturally occurring compounds identified through batch testing.
These include:
• Glucans
• Polysaccharides
• Betulin
• Inotodiol
• Triterpenoids
• Ergosterol
• Ergothioneine
• Melanin complexes
Understanding These Compounds
Glucans & Polysaccharides
Complex carbohydrates naturally found in fungal cell walls and commonly used as marker compounds when assessing extract composition and consistency.
Betulin
A naturally occurring compound associated with birch bark that is also found within Chaga. It contributes to the distinctive chemical profile that makes Chaga unique among mushroom species.
Inotodiol
A naturally occurring triterpenoid compound characteristic of Chaga and commonly referenced when analysing Chaga extracts and raw materials.
Triterpenoids
A diverse group of naturally occurring compounds found throughout the plant and fungal kingdoms. Chaga contains several characteristic triterpenoid compounds that contribute to its unique analytical profile.
Ergosterol
A naturally occurring fungal sterol that forms part of the mushroom's cellular structure and is commonly used as an analytical marker in fungal materials.
Ergothioneine
A naturally occurring sulphur-containing amino acid derivative found in mushrooms and other organisms, contributing to the distinctive chemical profile of fungal species.
Melanin Complexes
Dark pigmented compounds naturally present within Chaga. These contribute to the mushroom's distinctive appearance and form part of its characteristic composition.
Nutritional Information
Per capsule:
Chaga extract – 400mg
Per daily serving (2–3 capsules):
800–1200mg Chaga extract
Understanding Standardisation
Chaga differs naturally from other mushrooms in its compound profile. It contains lower glucan concentrations than species such as Reishi or Lion's Mane, but includes unique triterpenoid compounds such as betulin and inotodiol.
Comparing mushrooms solely by glucan percentage can overlook these species-specific constituents.
This extract is selected for balanced preservation of Chaga's natural profile through dual extraction rather than a single headline marker.
The 4:1 dual extraction method preserves both water-soluble and alcohol-soluble compounds naturally present within Chaga conk material.
