What is Chaga? 🍄

Chaga is actually a fungi that grows on birches and absorbs all its useful properties for 10-20 years. Medicinal mushrooms have a long history of use in alternative therapy.

Chaga extract has long been used in China, Korea, Japan, Russia, and the Baltic countries because of its beneficial effect on lipid metabolism and heart function, as well as an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunostimulating agent.

Chaga contains more than 200 active components that have a positive effect on various body systems. One of the most important elements of Chaga is melanin.

What is melanin? 🧬
The term "melanin" comes from melanos (Greek) - black.

Melanins are natural cellular pigments. The color of the skin, hair, eyes is provided by the presence of melanins.
There are three types of melanin: black, black-brown, and yellow-red.

Melanin in the human’s body 👀
Our body produces melanin on its own, and also receives it from certain foods.
Melanocytes are cells that synthesize melanin.

When exposed to ultraviolet radiation on the skin, the number of melanocytes increases. As a result of the stimulation of melanocytes with ultraviolet light, hyperpigmentation of the skin (tan) occurs.

Melanins of natural microbial, plant and animal origin enter the human body with various foods. A lack of melanin in organs and tissues can lead to pathologies such as Parkinson's disease, vitiligo, albinism, etc.
Excessive sunlight exposure and ultraviolet rays lead to overstrain, and then the breakdown of the barrier properties of the skin, and as a result - premature aging of the skin and the occurrence of skin pathologies.

Features of plant melanin
Plant melanin is one of the most powerful antioxidants. Natural melanins are capable of easily adapting to transport systems across the cell membrane.

Besides, when using plant components, the regulation of cellular metabolism is not disturbed. Chaga mushroom is one of the richest natural sources of melanin.

Why is it useful? 🤔

The main function of melanin is to protect our skin, but also, it has many useful properties:

• scatters ultraviolet radiation;
• protects against skin oncology;
• protects from sunstroke, x-ray, and gamma radiation;
• prevents the pe*******on of radiation and damage to sensitive internal structures;
• protecting cells of the epidermis from the effect of ultraviolet rays, melanin indirectly protects it from the occurrence of tumors;
• neutralizes the free radicals;
• limits the activity of heavy metals and other toxic products;
• maintains the integrity of DNA;
• positively affects the processes of cellular metabolism;
• prevents heat dissipation in the body. (therefore, people with increased skin pigmentation suffer less from cold than albinos);
• is a neurotransmitter, that is, it provides general protection of the body from an aggressive external environment.

How to cook Chaga to get maximum melanin? 🥰

Chaga can and should be boiled.
There is an opinion that boiling makes Chaga useless. This is true for plants. But Chaga is a mushroom, and this does not apply to it.

Scientific studies prove that melanin with prolonged boiling (about 2 hours) becomes more active and excretes in larger quantities. Therefore, it is recommended to brew Chaga, and then boil it again. Chaga is so rich in useful substances that it is impossible to take everything from it at one time.
