Chaga mushroom in cold temperate zones

Chaga mushroom has high nutritional value, containing more than 215 components, including polysaccharide compounds, betulin, betulinol, sucralose, folic acid derivatives, vanillic acid, syringic acid, tannins, steroids, alkaloids, melanin, lignin, etc. These components play an important role in human health.Supports Blood Sugar Regulation: Chaga mushroom contains polysaccharides and triterpenoids, which have been shown to promote insulin secretion and increase cellular sensitivity to insulin, while inhibiting intestinal glucose absorption, thus providing some support for blood sugar control. Related in vitro and animal experiments have shown that its extracts can lower fasting blood glucose levels in experimental animals; however, it should be noted that it cannot replace hypoglycemic drugs.
Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects: It has strong antioxidant capabilities, containing abundant superoxide dismutase (SOD) and polyphenols, which can scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress damage to cells, and delay age-related cell degeneration. Simultaneously, its extracts can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors in the body, providing some relief for chronic inflammation.
Immunity Enhancement: The polysaccharides in chaga mushroom are key immune-active substances that can stimulate the activity of immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes, enhancing the body's immune defense capabilities and helping the body resist the invasion of pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. It is suitable as a supplementary food for people with weakened immunity.
Immunity Boosting: Liver Protection: Triterpenoids and polysaccharides can reduce chemical damage to the liver, promote the repair and regeneration of liver cells, and help the liver metabolize toxins, thus offering some protection against fatty liver and liver damage.
Aid in Regulating Blood Lipids: Some studies have shown that Chaga mushroom extract can lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the blood, reduce lipid deposition on blood vessel walls, and play a supporting role in maintaining cardiovascular health.
