About

Le chaga (Inonotus obliquus) contient des polysaccharides bêta-glucane qui activent les macrophages et modulent la production de cytokines, des triterpènes (acide bétullinique) qui réduisent les cytokines pro-inflammatoires, et des composés de mélanine ayant une activité antioxydante puissante. La plupart des preuves sont précliniques et des essais cliniques humains robustes restent encore nécessaires.

How It Works

Beta-glucan polysaccharides activate macrophages and modulate cytokine production; triterpenes (betulinic acid) reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines; melanin compounds exhibit potent antioxidant activity protecting immune cells.
