Chaga mushroom is the most powerful naturally occurring antioxidant, with T-ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) number 52452. The use of chaga mushroom as natural medicine is a part of centuries old tradition. Chaga mushroom contains betulin, melamine and polysaccharides which are also used in modern science in i.e. cancer medicine. Chaga mushroom helps in digestion and clears liver.

Spruce sprout powder can be mixed with water, tea, smoothie, yogurt or even salad.
