Chaga is not a magic mushroom, so you will not be tripping, but it does have incredible superfood medicinal properties as you will discover from reading and learning below, allowing you to add this shroom safely to your daily routine.
What is Chaga?
Found in cold, forest locations growing in conks on the bark of Birch trees, the great adaptogen, Chaga Mushroom, aka Inonotus obliquus, has been used for centuries as the best immune system-boosting mushroom on Earth.
Known as the King of all medicinal mushrooms, Chaga is one of the most powerful antioxidants to grow organically in nature. Its health benefits have been widely studied but how do you know if you are buying the right Chaga, and what does it do?
Thankfully over the last 5 years of research, we have sourced, and now are proud to serve, the highest quality dual-extracted Chaga Mushroom grown in forests over 1500 miles away in Siberia.
Why do we sell dual-extracted Chaga only, and not raw Chaga Mushroom powder?
There is a huge difference between cheaper, raw Chaga Mushroom powder/chunks and dual-extracted Chaga.
Raw Chaga Mushroom powder and raw chunks contain chitin. This is a very hard substance found within the cell walls of the mushroom conk, which your body will struggle to break down and digest. Its colour is a lighter orange/brown, so quite easy to spot. It may be cheaper to buy online, but as we found out ourselves years ago, what is the point of consuming it?
Our supreme, dark black, dual-extracted Chaga has been crafted to allow your stomach to absorb all the beneficial components found within the mushroom so that it can perform for you at the highest level.
Our dual-extracted Chaga is wild-harvested by trusted horticulturists in the Altai Mountain range in southern Siberia. The conks have to go through years of -40'C weather conditions to create high melanin rates.
When the conks are ready to forage, the beautifully rich orange and black chunks are then pushed through a dual-extraction process under laboratory conditions in Moscow, Russia.
Our super-fine powder is then freeze-dried and presented in tiny particle size, allowing a larger volume when hot water is added to make tea. This creates better absorption, improving bioavailability and therapeutic effect, and also means you receive premium value from your purchase.
What can Chaga do for me?
Chaga has potent antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, hypoallergenic, demulcent, and anti-aging properties. Studies also suggest Chaga has anti-cancer and anti-tumour effects.
Many people are using Chaga daily now to help with multiple symptoms from the novel term, ‘Long Covid’. If your immune system has been compromised in any way, then Chaga may be able to assist you too.
Read an initial (in Silico) study from 2021 on that very subject as a guideline. In Silico simulations are frequently used to predict how a compound will react with proteins in the body or with pathogens using computers.
Chaga is well-known for its polysaccharides called beta-glucans, which form a crucial part of cell function and structure for the purpose of energy storage.
This shroom contains betulin and betulinic acid that have antimutagenic properties that could help us fight cancers, and lower cholesterol and high blood pressure, promoting a healthy cardiovascular system.
Chaga also contains melanin that assists with our aging process, is great for skin, and has trace elements of B vitamins, Copper, Calcium, Potassium, Manganese, Zinc, Iron, and Selenium. It is literally power-packed with goodness!
Dosage
Our suppliers in Russia have worked with Chaga for two decades and from their studies recommend 1000mg per day as a preventative for health issues. This is half the amount of suggested outlets that sell raw Chaga Mushroom powder. If your immune system goes down and needs support fast, then up your dose accordingly from there.
How to take it
Just one, or two tiny spoonfuls (not teaspoons, our 500mg spoons) in hot water create a powerful mug of fresh Chaga tea. Alternatively, you can add it to coffee, or add it to smoothies, or cakes. We have made many delicious Chaga and CBD Banana cakes over the years!
Mostly, we prefer to consume Chaga alone in a tea to maximise its medicinal properties. Most people find the taste surprisingly delicious in flavour, especially when a little local honey is added. You will never forget tasting your first cup!
Also beneficial for pets
You can add our Chaga powder to your favourite pet's food as they do have immune systems too. Our dog Snoopy benefits from Chaga weekly with no side effects. We thoroughly researched this before administration. Discover this for yourself in your own research and start here for an overview. If you want to dive much deeper though, this research paper written by Dr. Tina Sampalis (RIP) is an amazing read.

Reviews
I was surprised by the richness of flavour when making my first tea and at how palatable I found it. I add the powder into a lot of things now, including sprinkling on breakfasts and adding to dressings. The texture means it is really versatile and you can be creative in how you consume it. As a hot drink it adds warmth and takes me back to the festival chai I would hug in a mug 20 years ago! The dog doesn't mind a bit sprinkled on dinner either. It's a thumbs-up from me and a paws-up from him!
Thank you to Hu for bringing such a wonderful product to market. I’m new to the Chaga experience but am loving it and definitely feeling the positive benefits after taking it regularly for a couple of months now! The team at Hu are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do which gives me confidence when choosing the right products for me. The Siberian Chaga powder is beautifully packaged which also makes a difference in today’s overcrowded market! Massive props to the team! 🫶
As a life long and dedicated coffee drinker, it took a lot to get me to try and regularly drink a new hot drink. And I don't even really like mushrooms, so I was really bowled over by how much I enjoyed the Chaga brew. It tastes great, and it's good for you. Double win! I still love my coffee, but it feels good to break it up with a chaga in the day and the health benefits it brings. Wonderful stuff. x
Sharing a Chaga tea with you gives me the biggest warmest, comforting hugs. My tummy loves it, it sets me up for the day and I feel a warm soothing inside. Thank you for choosing the best quality Chaga possible and for nurturing my guts. Big hugs right back to you.
I have been using this for a while now and have Just bought my second jar, it has really helped me to clear up skin blemishes and it tastes delicious. I will definitely be continuing to use this product. Delivery from HU is always very speedy .
I love this style of Chaga. No more boiling hard chaga chunks overnight on the hob. This is easy to use, highly effective and travel size too! I take it away with me and can really feel the improvements to my health.
It’s tastes delicious and my body feels so much better for it. Just all round more vibrant and like it’s had a big warm cuddle. I love it.
After my first cup with honey I felt energised but not intoxicated which is a good feeling indeed especially considering I have been and still am sober for two years and drug free for nearly a year. About to have my second cup with wife. Thankyou HU. Great product.
Really delicious and I felt a difference straight away. It’s a lovely earthy & grounding tea and the best Chaga I’ve tasted 😊!! Lovely service, beautiful packaging and shipped super quickly! Will be purchasing again
Having never used chaga mushroom tea before I am now a complete convert. It’s a great start to my day.
