Chaga mushroom powder is the dried, dehydrated form of Chaga mushrooms. Chaga mushrooms are naturally dry and charcoal-like in texture, so they can easily be buffered into powder form. You can mix Chaga mushroom powder with hot water, to be consumed with your tea, coffee or even smoothie or soup.

Chaga has been wild-crafted and consumed as a tea to boost immunity and improve overall health for centuries in Siberia and Northern Europe, where it is traditionally to drink Chaga as a body-strengthening tea that supports a healthy immune system.‡

How much Chaga mushroom you should take per day will again, also depend on your age, size, sensitivity and the overall state of your health. We recommend taking 1 scoop of Chaga Mix with hot water, tea or coffee per day over two weeks to see if you notice a difference. You can always increase to 1-2 scoops later.
