Known as the Mushroom of Immortality, Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus, AKA Cinder conk, birch conk. clinker polypore) is a mushroom that typically is a parasite that grows on birch trees in colder climates such as northern Michigan, the Adirondack Mountains, Russia and Canada. It is – without doubt – one of the scariest-looking, yet healthiest mushrooms on the planet.

Chaga’s main active compounds are derived from the bark of the host birch trees on which it grows, mainly Betulin. The Chaga mushroom essentially sucks the life-force out of the birch tree and over time will cause great harm to it. Therefore, proper harvesting of the Chaga mushroom is imperative in order to save the birch tree and make sure the Chaga mushroom also grow back. Dr. Bob’s Chaga Mushroom are harvested in such as a fashion that preserves the birch tree yet allows the Chaga mushroom to grow back. If you simply take all the Chaga off the mushroom at once it will help the birch, but the Chaga will not grow back. Using our method of sustainable harvesting in which we cut off most of the Chaga mushroom while leaving the Chaga spore attached, reinvigorates the birch tree and allows the Chaga mushroom to grow back. We are one of the only companies that harvests Chaga in this sustainable manner. Most Chaga harvesters simply remove the entire Chaga mushroom which helps the birch tree, but does not allow for the Chaga to grow back.
The sterile Chaga conk which bursts through the bark of the tree is very rich in Beta-D-Glucans and medicinal mushroom derived Beta-Glucans are highly prized for their ability to support the immune system. Chaga mushroom also contains Phyto-sterols and Betulinic Acid, all of which are powerful therapeutic ingredients. Betulinic Acid is unique to Chaga and is derived from the Betulin which is present in birch bark. Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid which has antiretroviral, antimalarial, and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as a more recently discovered potential as an immune support agent, by inhibition of topoisomerase.
