Our Process
Harvested Wild in China's Changbai Mountains
SuperFeast Chaga is one of the herbs we continue to source wild, due to the sustainability of the Chinese sourcing (not so, unfortunately, for Canada and North America) and the integreity with which our chaga is sourced. Chaga grows wild on birch forests in this mountainous region of China. The birch trees must be at least 20 years old (and may be up to 80 years old!) and the chaga must be at least 10 years old before we harvest it. It takes 5 years for the chaga sclerotium (the bit we harvest) to grow through and another 5 years for the sclerotium to mature. This slow harvesting practive ensures that a) the health of the forest ecosystem is maintained and b) the quality of the herb is potent. Harvesting the chaga involves trekking into the forest and climbing birch trees! This is why chaga is so expensive - it's not a herb that is easily cultivated and it takes time to grow and mature. It can also only be harvested at certain times of year.
How SuperFeast Chaga Extract is Prepared
After harvesting, the chaga is carried out of the forest and dried, in preparation for being extracted. Our chaga is dual-extracted, which means it goes through both a water and alcohol extraction process. This allows for the full specturm of the herb's medicinal compounds to be extracted and is important for woody, immunologically potent herbs like chaga. It takes 10 kilograms of raw, dried chaga to produce 1 kilogram of SuperFeast Chaga extract. This is why we recommend small doses of our herbs and ask you to respect the beautiful natural source that has produced your medicine.
Chaga Quality
Chaga isn't just a favourite of the Daoist herbalists, it's also an ancient medicine well known to Russian and Siberian folk healers and shamans as well as Native Americans. Unfortunately, chaga's popularity has caused issues related to overharvesting, particularly in North America. Chaga also has a unique capacity, like many mushrooms, to pull toxicity out of the environment - for this reason sourcing chaga from a pure, clean, natural environment is super important. At SuperFeast we test our products for pesticides, moulds, aflatoxins and heavy metals, and Mason took a Geiger counters (a radiation-detecting device) with him on his last sourcing trip (pre-COVID!) to ensure that there is no radiation pollution in the areas we source. You'll be pleased to know it came back all clear!! Chaga is one of our family's favourite herbs and we hope you love our high-quality, clean, pure chaga extract.

Chaga
Really seen a difference!
"I decided to give Chaga a go after feeling depleted, and after reading one of Mason's very informative emails about it - and I can honestly say I have not looked back! For me the effect was immediate, I instantly felt 'lifted' and continue to do so. 1/4 teaspoon in my morning coffee (now half the size of what I was drinking) and I am set for the day, no more dip at 3pm which was a big one for me. Thank you SuperFeast for all that you do, your customer service and business ethics are transparent which gives me great confidence in sticking with you, and recommending you to others." Lisa R.

Chaga FAQs
Chaga, scientifically known as Inonotus obliquus, is a medicinal mushroom that primarily grows on birch trees in temperate climates. Interestingly, it is not the actual mushroom but the sclerotia (a hardened mass of mycelium) that is harvested for its medicinal properties. This unique fungus forms a symbiotic relationship with the birch tree, absorbing potent compounds that contribute to its remarkable health benefits. Chaga mushroom powder has been used for thousands of years in Arctic regions for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body resist stress and maintain balance.
Chaga is an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to and manage stress. By supporting the body's natural stress response, organic chaga powder can increase resilience and improve the capacity to handle physical, emotional and environmental stressors. This makes it an excellent daily supplement for maintaining overall well-being and reducing the negative impacts of stress on the body and mind.
Organic chaga mushroom powder is renowned for its powerful health benefits, including:

- Immune system support: rich in beta-glucans, chaga powder balances the body's immune response, making it effective for both overactive and underactive immune systems.
- Blood sugar regulation: studies have shown chaga's potential to reverse Type 2 diabetes and improve blood sugar levels.
