Forage Hyperfoods- Chaga Mushroom Tincture, with Chaga Extract for Excellent Digestive and Immune System, Dual Extract, Alcohol-Free, 60 mL

I’ve been hearing about Chaga for a while , I had a neighbor that used to collect it in the woods he has since moved so I have no access to it until I saw this product my husband and I have been using it for approximately a month now ,very nice tasting. Will give it a full year to see long-term effects

It tastes beautiful. Got it for general well being.

I love the fact that this is not only alcohol-free, but that it's a tincture making it far more bioavailable than powders/capsules. There are no fillers so you are getting all the Chaga benefits there is to offer. Since it has a touch of sweetness to it, adding it to a drink makes it easy to take and add to your daily routine. I have a sensitive stomach so I started with half the recommended dose (2 droppers instead of 4) for a week, and took it with food. I didn't experience any adverse reactions or digestive issues. Taking any kind of mushroom tincture is a great option to increase your overall health and well-being, so the fact that over a short period of time I don't feel any significant "results", doesn't mean that there aren't any. Be sure to check for any cautions of use, because Chaga can affect blood clotting. I would definitely take it again because I know it's good for you, and the product itself is a clean, Canadian-made, fruiting body only mushroom tincture that tastes great. You do however have to take quite a lot (4 droppers daily) which means the 60ml bottle is only about 2 wks worth. It can add up for sure.

Chaga had been recommended to me to aid digestion, but I wasn’t interested in grinding the fungus, making tea, etc. So I was eager when I saw this, a bit concerned about how it might taste. No worries at all. It is slightly sweet with a very light earthy flavour. It says to take two droppers full per day. A full dropper in a glass of water can barely be tasted, and in orange juice, you wouldn’t know.My digestion seems better since I’ve been taking it. Can I say for sure it was this that did it? No, but I didn’t hurt either, and it is an ancient native tonic.

Please note the following review is my individual experience with the product and results will obviously vary from person to person.The Chaga mushrooms used for this tincture are wild-harvested in Canada and prepared in a Health Canada licensed facility. These mushrooms grow on Birch trees. The tincture is also tested for heavy metals, pesticides, microbes, and gluten by a third party. The manufacturer claims that this product:- Is a strong source of antioxidants- Helps maintain balanced immune function- Stimulates bile flow, which helps digest fatsWebMD provides the following information, which appears to back up the manufacturers claims, "Chaga mushrooms contain beta-glucans, which are naturally occurring carbohydrates that can boost your immune defense. Other early research on mice shows that chaga extract may also help regulate the production of cytokines, which can stimulate blood cells and strengthen the immune system's means of communication."When looking at possible side effects, Healthline.com provides the following information, "Chaga can interact with some common medications, causing potentially harmful effects. For example, chaga could pose risks for people on insulin or those with diabetes due to its impact on blood sugar. Chaga also contains a protein that can prevent blood clotting."The manufacturer directions for use are to add 2 dropperfuls of the mushroom chaga tincture to any beverage, or put them directly under your tongue to experience the great benefits of chaga anywhere, anytime.
