Chaga Beta Glucan

Chaga glucan refers specifically to a high molecular weight polysaccharide with β-(1,3/1,6)-D-glucan as the main chain extracted from the fruiting body or sclerotium of Chaga. It is one of the core active ingredients of Chaga that exert its medicinal effects, accounting for 10%-30% of its dry weight, with a molecular weight between 10 kDa-200 kDa, soluble in hot water, slightly soluble in cold water, neutral to weakly acidic, and has a certain tolerance to acid, alkali, and high temperature.

Break 3-5 grams into small pieces, put them into a thermos, simmer in hot water at about 70℃ for 15 minutes, the color is like light cocoa, and you can add water 2-3 times. A pot of this every day is equivalent to a gentle "forest bath" for the body.

If you don't want to make tea, buy finished powder or capsules. Look at the packaging label: chaga β-glucan content ≥50%, 0.5 grams a day is enough; if you have a cold recently or are undergoing chemotherapy, you can add 1-2 grams, swallow it with meals twice, and your stomach will feel more comfortable.

Some people put it in capsules with chaga beta glucan and wolfberry; some people add it to oatmeal porridge in the morning, a bowl of black, full and refreshing.

Add 5% polysaccharide powder to pure water, put it in a small spray bottle, spray it on your face after sun exposure, and the dry and itchy feeling will be significantly reduced-this is a method passed down by forest rangers in Northeast China.
