Scientific research regarding the effects of Chaga have centered around its long history of use in Asia as an immune system booster, and to promote good health as we age. There is now more and more scientific research to support the claims of the folk uses. Recent and definitive analytical work on Chaga, and arguably, the most well known Western research conducted on the use of Chaga has been performed by Dr. Kirsti Kahlos and her team at School of Pharmacology, at the University of Helsinki, Finland. Dr. Kahlos' team conducted studies validating many of the benefits documented for centuries in Asian Culture.
The Western world is now beginning to study, evaluate, and test Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus) for the active compounds underlying its historically understood health benefits. As with many other natural herbs, the modern scientific community is coming to understand that supplements like Chaga, offer a complex balance of compounds, a delivery of powerful phytonutrients that function as adaptogens and support a healthy immune system.
The primary natural compounds discovered in Chaga are a variety of triterpenes and sterols including Lanosterol, Ergosterol, Inotodiols, Saponins, and Polysaccharides. The polysaccharide beta-glucan, present in Chaga, is an effective immune modulator by triggering immune system response. Chaga also contains the compound betulin acid, which is produced by the birch tree, and is absorbed and concentrated by the Chaga fungus. Betulinic acid is one of numerous compounds contained in Chaga being studied for a wide variety of effects on health maintenance.
