Mushroom Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is also known as the "king of mushrooms", the "diamond of the forest" or the "mushroom of immortality". It grows in the northern hemisphere, especially on birch trees.

Like other medicinal mushrooms, it contains several hundred biologically active substances with a very wide range of beneficial effects on the human body. Probably the most famous of these are betaglucans, which harmonize our immune system.

The chaga used in Instant Four Sigmatic has been grown wild and sourced from uninhabited areas of Siberia to ensure the best quality. It is a great choice for anyone who wants to support the body's defenses.

Traditional uses of chaga

In Siberian folk medicine, it has been used to detoxify and relieve nausea as well as a tonic to strengthen the body.

Russian folk medicine has used it for hundreds of years as a mainstay in the treatment of serious illnesses. Alaexandr Solzhenitsyn mentions his experience of using rust in the successful treatment of his own cancer in his book Cancer.

During the Second World War in Finland, chaga was used as a substitute for the then unavailable coffee because of its taste and similar aromatic profile. And even much earlier than that, it was made famous by the inhabitants of a Siberian village who also used it as a substitute for coffee and tea, enjoying unusually robust health.

how does it taste?

Each of the "elixirs" has its own specific taste. You can sip them on their own or flavour them with vegetable milk or spices, depending on your mood.

Why prefer a double extract of medicinal mushrooms

Much of the mushroom tissue is indigestible to the human body. Therefore, when we swallow the powder from a ground dried mushroom, we cannot absorb nearly all the valuable active substances from its cells.

The extract, on the other hand, contains all the beneficial substances in an easily digestible form. And to really get all the substances from the natural mushroom, you will even find a double extract in this instant drink. That is, not only the water-soluble substances, but also all the other substances that we have obtained by extraction with alcohol (which, of course, is not contained in the final product at all).

The double extract therefore ensures a higher concentration and better bioavailability of the active substances for the organism. And this is the basis of our medicinal mushroom products.

Why we love Four Sigmatic

Four Sigmatic - originally from Finland, now based in the US - is the project of a bunch of smart guys who call themselves the Scandinavian funny guys. They combined their lifelong passion for processing medicinal mushrooms and adaptogens with an original idea. They have enriched popular drinks with these traditionally used medicinal gems that can fill our every day with more energy, physical stamina, inner peace and productivity. With this venture, they have made functional mushrooms available to virtually anyone.

Adding the dual extract of these mushrooms and adaptogens to popular beverages like hot cocoa, coffee, latte or matcha latte or creating a multi-species mushroom blend creates a drink for moments of well-being while "recharging the batteries" and boosting the psyche and immunity.

Four Sigmatic products meet the strictest quality criteria. In addition to USDA Organic certification, they are regularly tested by independent laboratories for heavy metals, yeast, mycotoxins and radiation levels. The ingredients in all Four Sigmatic beverages are purely plant-based.
