Instant Chaga is ready to use Finnish Chaga Extract powder. This superfood contains only 100% soluble and digestible ingredients. Chaga mushroom thrives in the extremely cold climates (more than -40 deg.celcius at winter) and to accomplish this it produces a number of very potent compounds, which can be used to human benefit. The main active ingredients of Chaga are Immunostimulating polysaccharides, melanin antioxidants and antiviral/antibacterial compounds. Puhdistamo Instant Chaga is an extract powder made with finnish, wild grown mushroom. The Chaga is extracted with hot water for average of 18 hours. This results in a thick ”tea” bursting with the antioxidant melanins and other valuable water soluble components, like the immunomodulating polysaccharides. Quick drying stores all these nutrients to a brown powder which is 100% water soluble. When 1/2 teaspoon of Instant Chaga is mixed with a cup of hot water, the Chaga tea is instantly ready. How to use?  1/3 teaspoon 2 times a day. Put the powder in bottom of your cup and pour hot water on it. Sweeten with honey if desired. Stir and enjoy! Want it cold?
