About

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) contains beta-glucan polysaccharides that activate macrophages and modulate cytokine production, triterpenes (betulinic acid) that reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines, and melanin compounds with potent antioxidant activity. Most evidence is preclinical, and robust human clinical trials are still needed.

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.
