Immune System Support
Chaga is known for helping balance and strengthen the immune system. In a placebo-controlled study of marathon runners, those who took chaga for four weeks experienced 51% fewer upper respiratory symptoms—such as coughs and colds—compared to the placebo group. Participants also reported better overall well-being, suggesting improved immune resilience under stress (Eevia Health, 2021).
Antioxidant Power for Cellular Health
Rich in antioxidants, chaga helps protect cells from oxidative damage. A clinical study in Japan found that chaga supplementation significantly reduced markers of oxidative stress in the body (Anti-Aging Medicine, 2007). Another study reported that chaga extract helped prevent DNA damage in blood cells exposed to oxidative stress (Biofactors, 2007). This potent antioxidant action supports cellular health and vitality.
Heart Health & Blood Pressure
Emerging research suggests chaga may support cardiovascular wellness. In a double-blind clinical trial, adults taking chaga extract experienced a small but significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (Anti-Aging Medicine, 2007). While more research is needed, this early evidence points to chaga’s potential to help maintain healthy blood pressure and support heart health.
Stress Relief & Mood Balance
Chaga may also support emotional well-being. In a 2021 study, people who took chaga showed a 30% reduction in cortisol (the primary stress hormone) and reported improved mood compared to placebo (Eevia Health, 2021). Another Japanese trial found improvements in stress-related symptoms like poor sleep and low motivation. These effects suggest chaga may help you feel calmer, more focused, and better able to handle life’s pressures.
