According to Planetary Herbals herbalist Roy Upton:
“When I was on a botanical excursion in the Ba Shan mountain region of northern China in 1997, we found a stand of birch that had chaga growing on some of the trees. I had never seen it before. The herbalists we were with said, ‘This is one of the most important health promoting materials of China.’ As it turns out, it is also one of the most important herbs of Russia as well. Chaga has an incredible array of compounds with broad-spectrum immune enhancing activity.”
Chaga, a specialized tree mushroom, is a powerful immune system activator and antioxidant that is rich in immunomodulating polysaccharides and betulinic acid. Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum™ Chaga is 100% wildcrafted.

The chaga is a black, crusty mass that grows on many birch trees. The mushroom has been used by people in China, Russia, Northern Europe and North America for centuries. Now modern research indicates that this mushroom has powerful components that boost the immune system.
Chaga contains 215 phytonutrients, including sterols, flavonoids, melanins, polyphenols, sapaonins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Upton says, “This astonishing array of nutrients protects the body at a cellular level.”
Chaga has also been shown to protect the body with effective antioxidants such as lignin and superoxide dismutase.
