ALASKA CHAGA WITH BLACK TOP CRUST — The chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) is a naturally occurring fungus found on birch trees in the Alaska taiga. Our chaga is only collected during the winter months when the temperatures in and around Fairbanks, Alaska are between -20 to -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Harvesting during the coldest weather ensures that this Alaska Chaga has reached its peak nutrient and enzyme content. Chaga from the warmer Lower 48 states contains a lower level of these key nutrients and can be considered subpar in quality. AMAZING ANTIOXIDANT — Alaska Chaga is chocked full of vitamin A, B complex, C, D, E and K in addition to iron, calcium, zinc, fiber and polysaccarides.
