De meeste mensen hebben nog nooit van Chaga gehoord… maar laat me je vertellen waarom dat snel gaat veranderen.
Hidden deep in the forests of Siberia and other cold places in the world grows a black, crusty mushroom called Chaga. It doesn’t look fancy, in fact, it looks like a burnt chunk of wood, but don’t be fooled. Chaga is one of nature’s most powerful healing gifts. And one of the reasons? Betulinic acid.
What is Betulinic Acid?
Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in the bark of birch trees. When Chaga grows on birch, it absorbs and transforms this compound, enhancing its biological activity.
Science now confirms what folk healers have known for centuries: betulinic acid holds powerful potential.
Proven by Research
Studies done by leading institutions such as the University of Illinois, the National Cancer Institute (USA), and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have shown that betulinic acid:
- Induces apoptosis (natural cell death) in certain cancer cells
- Has anti-viral properties
- Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress
What makes it remarkable is its selectivity; it targets abnormal cells while sparing healthy ones.
Why is Chaga special?
Because it’s not just about betulinic acid. Chaga is packed with:
- Antioxidants (especially melanin – yes, the same pigment in our skin!)
- Beta-glucans, which support and balance the immune system
- Triterpenes and polyphenols, which help reduce inflammation and protect your cells
Basically, Chaga helps your body restore its balance, the way nature intended.
