Recent chemical tests have shown that chaga contains more than 200 types of active substance (8). The most significant of these are the beta-glucan polysaccharides which are responsible for most of the mushroom’s blood sugar-lowering, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects (9-10), as well as its benefits for the immune system.

Our Organic Chaga Extract supplement contains a high level of these polysaccharides due to the water extraction used to obtain the chaga sporophores. This method of extraction also enables the following compounds to be preserved:

• Melanin, a remarkable antioxidant which also has blood sugar-lowering properties (11).
• Hispidin, which has beneficial effects against abnormal cells.
• Betulinic acid, another anti-proliferative compound. This is the characteristic white powdery substance you see on the bark of birch trees which chaga tends to accumulate.

1. To extend your life expectancy. As you’re no doubt aware, healthy life expectancy or ‘healthspan’, has stopped rising in Western countries. Many physiological mechanisms become less efficient with age, such as absorption of nutrients through the digestive wall, production of endogenous antioxidants, and efficacy of the immune system, neurotransmission, and circulation. Relatively quickly, this degeneration leads to the development of age-related diseases and makes the body more fragile. The composition of Daily 3® has been developed to combat the decline in these functions and compensate for their loss of efficacy.
2. To allow your body to realise its full potential and help you feel great. Even if you eat a balanced, organic diet, you’ll almost certainly still be lacking in several micronutrients. The nutrient and mineral content of our food has been in constant decline since the last century and our fruit and vegetable intake is generally far from ideal (13). Researchers have estimated the loss in calcium, iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin C to be in the region of 30% in 50 years. This is due to misuse of pesticides, soil depletion, the preference for more resistant, but less nutritious, varieties, eating foods that spend days in transit before being stored, and modern lifestyles. Daily 3® allows you to compensate for these losses: within just a few days, you’ll notice you have significantly renewed energy. 
3. To combat the relentless attack on your body from the pollution, harmful substances and stress that cause disease. In the West, we’re facing an epidemic of ‘new’ disorders and health problems, such as diabetes and obesity, as well as auto-immune and neurodegenerative diseases. These are all linked, either directly or indirectly, to our unhealthy new dietary model, increasingly sedentary lifestyles and raised stress levels, all of which increase our requirements for many nutrients, particularly antioxidant compounds and vitamins. With its high content of exceptional antioxidants and vitamins in optimal forms, Daily 3® helps the body combat these attacks and reduces the risk of disease.

This product’s capsules are composed of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant substance derived from cellulose. HPMC is widely used for medicines and dietary supplements. It contains no animal ingredients, is recognised as safe by health authorities and is considered more sustainable than synthetic alternatives.

To benefit from chaga’s tonic effects, Siberian nomads would remove part of the mushroom from the birch and add it to hot water to make a tea. But with SuperSmart’s Organic Chaga Extract, standardised in polysaccharides for maximum effect, you can simply swallow a capsule instead.

In addition, we recommend you take the following three steps throughout the supplementation period:

1. Increase your level of physical activity (even if it’s only slightly) and exercise regularly (12-13).
2. Ensure you get enough sleep (at least 7 hours a night in general).
3. Take a quality multivitamin such as Daily 3® to prevent what is in fact widespread deficiency in micronutrients. The quality of your immune response will be affected by a lack of even one of these micronutrients: zinc, selenium, iron, copper, calcium, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin E.

If your immune system is seriously compromised, you could also take an extract of green propolis alongside your chaga supplement.

Attention: taking chaga is contraindicated for type 1 diabetics, those suffering from coagulation problems and those who’ve undergone a transplant.

Take three capsules a day, one with each of your three main meals: it’s never been easier to maintain good health.

This product’s capsules are made of pullulan, a natural polysaccharide obtained by fermenting tapioca or corn. Pullulan contains no animal ingredients and provides an excellent barrier to oxygen, helping to preserve the integrity of the capsule’s ingredients. It is also an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials.
