FAQs:
What is dual extraction?
When mushrooms are raw, their nutrients aren’t as readily available for the human body to absorb. Dual extraction is when both alcohol and hot water is used to draw out the medicinal compounds - this enhances its effect on your body as it becomes more bioavailable.
Are there any side effects of Chaga Extract?
Chaga is generally a safe, well tolerated mushroom. There is evidence that suggests Chaga tinctures could interact with medication such as insulin, so it’s best to consult your doctor before consuming Chaga alongside any other traditional medication. Immune compromised individuals should always seek advice from their doctor before taking Chaga products.
Can children, pregnant women and nursing mothers use Chaga Extract?
As mushroom farmers, this is not our area of expertise. Due to the lack of research in this area, we recommend children, pregnant women and nursing mothers avoid our products or consult their doctor before incorporating Chaga products into their diet.
