What is Chaga extract (10:1) 500mg?
Chaga extract (10:1) 500mg from MycoNutrition is a dietary supplement in vegetal capsules made from the fruiting body extract of Chaga, the fungus botanically known as Inonotus obliquus.
It’s an option designed for those who want to introduce mushrooms into their daily routine in a convenient, clear, and easy-to-use way. Without having to prepare infusions, without a strong taste, and with a very simple composition.
Its extract is concentrated in a 10:1 ratio, which means 10 parts of Chaga fruiting body are used to obtain 1 part of extract. In practice, this allows delivering a concentrated amount of Chaga in a small, convenient format.
Chaga in vegetal capsules, with 10:1 extract and standardized content of polysaccharides and beta-glucans.
A concentrated and standardized Chaga
Not all Chaga products are the same. In this case, we work with a 10:1 concentrated extract, not with a simple un-concentrated mushroom powder. This provides a meaningful differential value for those seeking a practical, quality formula.
Additionally, the extract is standardized to 40% polysaccharides and provides 30% 1,3/1,6 beta-glucans. These data help to better understand the extract quality, since we’re not just talking about “Chaga,” but an extract with concrete and assured markers.
What are polysaccharides and beta-glucans?
Polysaccharides are compounds naturally present in many fungi. Among them, 1,3/1,6 beta-glucans are a very representative fraction in fungi and one of the main points considered when assessing the quality of these extracts.
That’s why, in this formula, we don’t just indicate the ingredient origin, but also its content in these characteristic compounds. A simple way to offer more transparency and help you choose better.
