- Some studies suggest that Chaga's high antioxidant content may contribute to cellular health and protection against oxidative stress 1, 2.
- Chaga may help regulate the production of cytokines, proteins that play a vital role in stimulating white blood cells, potentially improving immune function and controlling inflammation 1.*
The Bioactive Compounds of Chaga: Understanding the Benefits
Chaga contains a wide range of bioactive compounds that contribute to its potential health benefits. Some of the most significant compounds identified include:
- Polysaccharides: Long chains of carbohydrate molecules that support immune function and overall health.
- Triterpenoids: Found in various plants and mushrooms, these compounds have potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and health-supportive properties.
- Beta-D-Glucans: A type of polysaccharide that may have immunomodulatory effects.
- Phenolic compounds: Antioxidants that help protect the body against damage from free radicals.
- Melanin: A pigment that gives Chaga its characteristic dark color while contributing to its antioxidant properties.
