What is a Double Extraction Method? In order to extract both alcohol and water soluble chemical compounds from this type of fungus, a dual method of extraction must be used to capture all the health benefits it has to offer. This process requires soaking the mushroom material for a period of time in alcohol followed by a hot water decoction for optimal extraction.

[tab name="Use / Dosage"]

Known Dose (for Adults): 15-30 drops 1 to 3 times a day in coffee, smoothies, juice or in a small amount of water, with or without food. Taking Chaga continually for 6 months could effect kidney function (see precautions).

[tab name="Precautions"]

Blood Sugar: Because Chaga is known to lower blood sugar, it can be dangerous for people taking insulin and other blood sugar-lowering medications.

Kidney Function : Chaga is high in oxalates and may cause kidney problems in some individuals. Kidney damage/disease has been associated in some people that were taking Chaga daily for 6 months.

While taking Chaga, stay well hydrated with water. Crystals form when there is too much oxalate in too little liquid in the urine which can cause kidney stones.

Increase calcium intake by eating Kale --specifically dinosaur kale, rather than curly kale-- while taking Chaga because this allows the calcium to bind to oxalate during digestion before ever reaching the kidneys. Add magnesium to the diet at the same time you eat kale to complete this process. Kale is the best choice since spinach has calcium but also high in oxalates which is what you want to diminish. To obtain the benefits of Kale (a cruciferous vegetable), cut it 30 minutes before lightly steaming or sauteing. If short on time, you can add mustard powder to get the cancer fighting benefits.

Caution About Blood Thinning : Due to Chaga's blood thinning action, stop taking Chaga two weeks in advance of any scheduled surgery. Do not take Chaga if you are on blood-thinning medications such as Rivaroxaban (Xarelto), Dabigatran (Pradaxa), Apixaban (Eliquis), Heparin (various), and Warfarin (Coumadin).

"Thanks so much for your chaga tincture, which I have been using recently. Two months ago a squamous cell carcinoma was surgically removed from my scalp by a dermatologist. Squamous cell isn't melanoma, but it can be very dangerous. (Every year for the last five years or so, my doc has had to freeze around fifteen pre-cancerous lesions to prevent their possible further growth toward malignancy. I'm 72 years old and had begun to think maybe this is inevitable at my age.) After my surgery, I read about chaga and its use in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma. Six weeks ago, I started using chaga prophylactically. Today I saw my dermatologist, and for the first time in around five years there were NO lesions anywhere (!), let alone lesions that needed freezing! Two lesions on the back of my neck were for many months repeatedly scabbing and bleeding, until five weeks ago. Today I asked my dermatologist to freeze those lesions: I was extremely concerned about them even though I'd barely noticed them these last four weeks. She said "OK" and looked for them. The lesions were gone. There was absolutely no trace of them. I could hardly believe it. Besides the bleeding lesions that had seriously worried me, there had also been for several years lesions on both shoulders that appeared more "stable"---they itched but didn't bleed---but which nonetheless worried me somewhat because they wouldn't heal, even after years. They too are gone. Yes, my story is "only" anecdotal, but for me chaga's apparent effect is miraculous and a huge relief. Thank you, God/Goddess for our amazing plant friends/helpers/angels. Be well, everyone." ----Frank W. from New Mexico
