Chaga mushrooms are an interesting mushroom species because they don’t look like any mushroom the average person has come across. Chaga mushrooms take the idea of mushrooms being a fungus to the next level – they grow out of the trunks of birch trees in the UK and have a bloomed and cracked appearance.

The UK chaga mushroom is usually black on the edges and brown towards its centre. Depending on their size and where on a birch tree they’re growing, they can sometimes look a bit like a strange, long tree tongue. When they’re more rounded instead of pointing out of the tree, they just look like a strange bump from a distance.

What are the Benefits of Chaga Mushroom UK products?

Research has shown that chaga mushrooms contain several compounds that are beneficial to have in your diet. They are rich in antioxidants, thanks to the polyphenols they contain, and they also contain triterpenes, which are said to inhibit enzymes that metabolise glucose and prevent the development of insulin resistance.

What all that means is that chaga mushrooms may be able to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and slow down the rate at which the body absorbs sugar.

Antioxidants are also said to reduce bad cholesterol and protect against heart disease. The antioxidants and other compounds in chaga mushrooms are great for helping to lower lipids. Having lipids in your body isn’t a bad thing but having too many puts you at risk of disease because these fatty compounds are the cause of fatty liver metabolism disease and other dangerous health conditions.

Like many other mushroom variants, chaga mushrooms may also help you in the fight against cancer. Again, it’s the beautiful antioxidants in the chaga mushrooms that could help with this consuming disease because antioxidants are shown to help prevent cell damage that is caused by free radicals and oxidants.

The damage from oxidative stress (caused when the body does not have enough of its own antioxidants to prevent oxidants from wreaking havoc) can contribute to a number of health conditions, including cancer.

UK chaga mushrooms have the potential to support your immune system in a number of ways, helping to stimulate white blood cells and defend you against various illnesses.

When to Avoid Chaga Mushrooms

It’s said that you should avoid taking chaga mushrooms in any form if you’re already prescribed insulin and taking it for your diabetes. UK chaga mushrooms should lower blood sugar by themselves, so adding insulin on top of chaga mushroom supplements will create an unsafe combination and could be harmful to you. You’ll plummet your blood sugar, which can have serious effects on your health.

Additionally, UK chaga mushroom extract could potentially prevent your blood from clotting properly and may interfere with other anti-clotting medication you’re already prescribed.

Combining UK Chaga Mushroom with CBD

While UK chaga mushroom products are said to help reduce inflammation, joint pain from arthritis, and lower blood pressure, CBD is used for its calming properties by consumers. Combining both should create a relaxing balm over your body and mind, which is what we at Eden’s Gate try to create with our CBD products.
