The Non Mushroom

While commonly called a mushroom, Chaga is a unique fungal canker that primarily grows on birch trees. This dense woody mass contains beta-glucans, melanin, inotodiol and birch compounds like betulin and betulinic acid that can help to support your immune system†.

All wild harvested from Siberia and extracted to increase the bioavailability of the beneficial compounds like beta-glucans.

An Important Note for Pets with Kidney Stones:

Chaga, unlike other mushrooms, have oxalates present. Oxalates, like found in rhubarb and spinach for instance, or spinach can clog up the filtration system of the kidney, the glomerulus, leading to kidney problems if enough oxalates are ingested with the foods. When foods are cooked, oxalates that are soluble are dissolved into the cooking water, and if the water is discarded, the oxalates do not pose a problem.

There also are insoluble oxalates that are not dissolved into the cooking water. Real Mushrooms analyzed their Chaga extract for both types of oxalates and found that it contained around 2-3% oxalates, mostly being insoluble oxalates residues. This means that in a typical 1 gram serving, 20-30mg (2-3%) of oxalates is lower than servings in many commonly eaten foods like spinach, potatoes, yams, beans and even french fries. As expected we found no soluble oxalates, and the level of insoluble oxalates was lower than normally found in spinach.

Avoid use if your dog or cat has a history of bladder or kidney stones.
