What is Chaga mushroom Extract?
The Chaga mushroom is a parasitic fungus of the Birch tree and other trees. The sterile conk is irregularly formed and has the appearance of burnt charcoal.
Chaga mushroom in northern Russia, Europe,
northern China in heilongjiang province, China, Japan (Hokkaido), breeding of
40 ° ~ 50 ° north latitude in the northern hemisphere.
For thousands of years Chaga was revered throughout the known world particularly in China, Japan, Russia, Manchuria and Asia Minor. Chaga is documented in the early Oriental journal, "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" in 100 BC as "The King of Herbs" and a "Gift from God". Chaga is also referred to in Asian culture as the "Mushroom of Immortality".
Chemical constituents of Chaga
mushroom Extract
The chemical contains polysaccharide, Fuscoporine, inooidiol, a variety of triterpenoids
It's the main active ingredients Chaga mushroom polysaccharides.
Benefits of taking Chaga mushroom Extract supplements:
Like
some mushroom polysaccharides material has the following effect:
>Anti-tumor
>Adjusting immunity
>Improve cardiovascular disease
>Enhance metabolism
>Liver-protecting
>Anti-aging
>Improve Neurological Symptom
Some
studies report
>Chaga may help treat inflammatory bowel
disease (such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), according to a 2007
study published in Biofactors.
In tests on cells obtained from 20 healthy volunteers and 20 patients with inflammatory bowel disease, scientists found that treating the cells with chaga extract helped reduce oxidative stress (a destructive biological process thought to contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease).

oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes as assessed by comet assay.

The Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) is claimed
to have beneficial properties for human health, such as anti-bacterial,
anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The antioxidant
effects of the mushroom may be partly explained by protection of cell
components against free radicals. We evaluated the effect of aqueous Chaga
mushroom extracts for their potential for protecting against oxidative damage
to DNA in human lymphocytes. Cells were pretreated with various concentrations
(10, 50, 100 and 500 microg/mL) of the extract for 1 h at 37 degrees C. Cells
were then treated with 100 microM of H2O2 for 5 min as an oxidative stress.
Evaluation of oxidative damage was performed using single-cell gel
electrophoresis for DNA fragmentation (Comet assay). Using image analysis, the
degree of DNA damage was evaluated as the DNA tail moment. Cells pretreated
with Chaga extract showed over 40% reduction in DNA fragmentation compared with
the positive control (100 micromol H2O2 treatment). Thus, Chaga mushroom
treatment affords cellular protection against endogenous DNA damage produced by
H2O2.
Side effects and safety of Chaga mushroom Extract
Also, it can cause your blood sugar levels to fall too low. Other side effects have not been found, since now.
