Chaga is characterized by potent bioactive compounds, particularly betulinic acid, melanin complexes, and a rich profile of antioxidant polyphenols. These compounds have strong free radical-scavenging properties, help protect cells from oxidative stress, and support a healthier inflammatory balance. The triterpenes derived from betulin have been studied for their modulating effects on immune pathways, contributing to more efficient innate and adaptive immune responses.
Chaga also supports gut health. Its polysaccharides act as prebiotics, promoting the growth of beneficial microbes and enhancing the production of short-chain fatty acids. Research suggests it can strengthen the integrity of the mucosal barrier, reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, and improve overall digestive health.
The combined effect is clear: powerful antioxidant protection, well-regulated immune activity and an intestinal environment that functions with greater stability and efficiency.
