Adaptogen ORAC

Antioxidants are substances that bind and remove damaged molecules called free radicals, thus blocking the oxidative processes of body cells. The content of the natural high molecular pigment - melanin that the black outer layer of chaga (sclerotium) has characterizes the highest level of antioxidants due to the polyphenols in it.

Chaga is considered to have one of the highest ORAC indicators (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity - the ability to absorb oxygen radicals) among all superfoods.

 The antioxidant value of chaga mushroom extract described in ORAC units is: 148,300 μ mol TE/100g.
