Description:

Chaga Extract, also known as Inonotus Obliquus Extract or Chaga Extract Powder, is derived from the sclerotia of the Inonotus obliquus mushroom that naturally grows on birch trees in cold climates. This Chaga Extract Powder is widely recognized in the global nutraceutical and functional food industries for its rich composition of polysaccharides, betulin, and triterpenes.

The raw material of Chaga Extract is characterized by a nodular, black, cracked exterior and a yellow-brown interior. After processing into Chaga Extract Powder, the material retains its key bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides and phenolic substances. These compounds contribute to the antioxidant profile of Chaga Extract and make it a valuable ingredient for dietary supplements and functional formulations.

Chemically, Chaga Extract contains a complex matrix of bioactive components such as polysaccharides, inotodiol, lanosterol-type triterpenes, betulinic acid, melanin, and various phenolic acids including vanillic acid and syringic acid. These compounds enhance the technical and commercial value of Inonotus Obliquus Extract in B2B applications.

Chaga Extract Powder has a long history of use in Eastern Europe and Asia, where Chaga mushrooms have traditionally been incorporated into herbal preparations. Today, modern research continues to explore the composition and potential applications of Chaga Extract, particularly its antioxidant properties and its compatibility with immune-support product formulations.
